max Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Saw a Granite gear day pack yesterday and thought it looked pretty trick. Seemed like it was about the right size for a long bc day, long quick hike/climb. Light wieght and no frils, and $75 on sale. Anybody know about these?

spacely Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 Max, you might also check out the Serratus Genie.... can be found at mec. About 2/3 the price and weighs 1 lb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodchester Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 The Granite Gear Packs that I have looked at in the past seem to be well built but are usually kind of heavy for my taste. Check out the actual weights against similar sized packs...at least if weight is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted January 16, 2004 Share Posted January 16, 2004 I've got an GG Alpine Light pack. Destroyed the first one very quickly. They sewed it back together, destroyed it again. They sent me a new one made with different material. New one is holding up great. Very light, no frills, good features and a good deal at $75. Has worked very well for day climbs on rock, snow, and ice. This pack is not heavy, it's probably lighter than almost any other pack in this volume. No stays or framesheet, just a removable doubled over section of z-rest. Very well thought out design. My Dana bomb pack got sold after a couple of times out with this one.
