  [0:02](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-2) Bienvenue chez rayonrando.com. Je vais vous présenter les sacs à dos Zulu 55 et Zulu \[référence à vérifier\] de Gregory. Alors, je vais vous montrer en détail le Zulu 55. Le Zulu 40, outre le fait qu'il ne fait que 40 litres, n'a pas de poche basse avec _Passage to check in the video._
  
  [0:19](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-19) un accès par le bas. Sinon, les caractéristiques sont similaires. Alors, les caractéristiques importantes de ce sac, c'est plutôt le dos qu'il faut que je vous montre : c'est qu'on a un super confort de portage avec un dos très
  
  [0:35](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-35) ventilé. Et donc, on est sur un beau dos filet, avec une ventilation qui va jusqu'en bas du sac, y compris sur la ceinture de hanches. On va avoir deux bretelles bien rembourrées, tout en ayant quand même un très bon confort de portage. Et ça, ça se démarque vraiment des autres dos qu'on peut
  
  [0:51](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-51) trouver sur d'autres marques. Alors, côté bretelles, on a des bretelles qui se règlent en hauteur pour s'ajuster à la morphologie, un matelassage qui est plutôt généreux, avec un système de bretelles ajourées. Donc la mousse intérieure est ajourée, le tout
  
  [1:06](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-66) recouvert d'un filet. Et puis, la fameuse armature qui passe par derrière, qui assure le report de charge sur les hanches. Ce filet-là, le système qui est intéressant, c'est qu'on a le filet qui maintient l'aération au niveau du dos, mais qui descend également jusqu'au
  
  [1:22](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-82) niveau de la ceinture. Donc on a aussi de l'aération au niveau de l'appui ici. Donc on a vraiment l'aération maximale et on retrouve également cette ventilation importante
  
  [1:37](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-97) au niveau du reste de la ceinture, puisque là aussi, on a de l'air qui circule. Donc on va à la fois avoir une ceinture qui enveloppe bien, avec un bon report de charge sur les hanches, donc intéressant pour partir plusieurs jours
  
  [1:52](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-112) et ce système de ventilation qui couvre une zone large et donc qui permet d'évacuer plus facilement la transpiration et d'être plus à l'aise. Côté rangement, donc les poches sur la ceinture,
  
  [2:07](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-127) une de chaque côté, des poches ouvertes latérales élastiques, avec possibilité de charger comme ça, mais possibilité également d'y avoir une gourde. En les inclinant comme ça, on peut
  
  [2:22](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-142) l'attraper, on peut la saisir sans enlever le sac à dos. En façade, on retrouve donc l'accès par le haut du sac. Je vais vous montrer un accès bas de sac avec une cloison qu'on peut ouvrir, des sangles pour fixer
  
  [2:39](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-159) éventuellement une tente, donc les systèmes de fixation habituels pour bâtons, piolets, et puis une poche ouverte qui se ferme par clip, qui est élastique, assez
  
  [2:55](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-175) généreuse. Donc là, on y met son vêtement de pluie ou sa carte pour y accéder facilement, ça c'est intéressant. Et enfin, au-dessus, on a un accès direct par cette ouverture valise large, donc qui
  
  [3:14](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-194) permet d'accéder facilement à l'intérieur sur toute la hauteur. On a ensuite le rabat qui se règle en hauteur pour venir bien
  
  [3:31](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-211) vraiment envelopper le sac si jamais on charge davantage. Rabat avec une poche sur le dessus et une poche à l'intérieur.
  
  [3:52](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-232) Voilà, donc une poche à l'intérieur dans laquelle on trouve une cape de pluie amovible, qui permet éventuellement de gagner un peu de poids si on la laisse à la maison. Et enfin, l'accès au compartiment
  
  [4:07](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-247) principal avec, là encore, un petit clip qui peut permettre de fixer du matériel sur le dessus. Alors, on est sur un 55 litres généreux, comme vous pouvez voir, et au niveau des rangements, vraiment intéressant.
  
  [4:26](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-266) C'est le confort de portage pour un 55 litres, donc bon maintien sur les hanches, bon report de charge. Pour moi, c'est un sac qui est intéressant pour les randonnées longue durée, que ce soit pour randonner par
  
  [4:41](https://www.rayonrando.com/en/5055-l-hiking-backpacks/3252-zulu-55-hiking-backpack.html#video-C34TpmBKNMQ-t-281) temps chaud, que ce soit pour randonner pour les personnes qui transpirent pas mal et qui ont besoin de quelque chose de bien ventilé. Vous le retrouvez avec son petit frère de 40 litres sur rayonrando.com.

## A question about this product?

**What outings is this backpack designed for?**

This Zulu 55 is designed for multi-day self-sufficient hikes. With 55 L and 1820 g, it is well equipped: tent attachment straps, a separate bottom compartment, pole holder and removable rain cover. How many days do you usually go for, and what sleeping equipment do you take?

**Is the back of this pack well ventilated?**

This Zulu 55 has a suspended mesh back panel on a metal frame, which stays fairly close to your body for good load distribution. Air circulates between your back and the pack, and the well-padded hip belt is covered with breathable mesh. Do you mainly hike in warm weather?

**Will it fit my build?**

This Zulu 55 is offered here in size M/L, for a back length from neck to hip of 44.7 to 55.9 cm. The back panel is height-adjustable using hook-and-loop fastening, and the wraparound hip belt fits snugly around your waist. What is your back length from neck to hips?
