Granite Gear Crown3 60L Backpack Black/Rust, 60L, Short

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I took the Granite Gear Crown3 60L on a five day route in the Wind Rivers and the Re-Fit hip belt was the first thing I noticed since I was able to dial in the fit on the trail without stopping to make major adjustments. The removable lid converting into a lumbar pack was something I used almost every day when we set up basecamp and did shorter exploratory hikes, and it saved me from having to pack a separate daypack entirely.""Five days in the backcountry means five days of decisions about what stays and what gets left behind, and the Granite Gear Crown3 60L Backpack is built to make that math easier. At just over two and a half pounds, this pack carries a serious load without adding unnecessary weight to the equation. The Robic nylon construction with Barrier DWR coating keeps the pack tough and weather resistant, while the Vapor Current Mark 3 suspension system uses a PE frame sheet and foam back panel to move weight onto your hips efficiently and maintain airflow against your back on long, sweaty miles. The Crown3 earns its keep in the details. The Re-Fit hip belt offers 16 inches of adjustment, making a genuine fit available to a wide range of body types without swapping components. Roll-top access keeps your most-reached-for gear accessible without unpacking everything below it, and the removable lid pulls double duty as a lumbar pack or chest pack for day trips away from basecamp, so you are never stuck carrying a full load on a short summit push. Side compression straps, a hydration sleeve, gear loops, and stretch mesh front pocket round out a feature set that covers nearly every organizational need a multi-day route demands."
