Weighing in at less than five pounds yet easily capable of hauling a 50-pound load comfortably, the Granite Gear Stratus Latitude belongs to a new generation of lightweight AND functional multi-day backpacks. Ultralight packs can only carry minimal loads (20-30 pounds), and they don't necessarily carry them in the most comfortable manner possible. Yet plenty of backpackers need a pack that will hold 50 pounds and that's built with beefier fabrics to hold up to the rigors of a harsh environment. Granite Gear's indestructible 3D molded Tepex frame provides incredible support and a solid fit. Other cool features on the Stratus Latitude include a front-panel loading system that opens from the top or bottom for easy access to anything in the pack (compression straps hold everything in place when the zippers are open), hydration compatibility, and an internal zip-off lid. New this year are side pockets for snacks, compass, and layers.
Bottom Line: The Stratus Latitude swallows the super light gear you need for a week in the mountains.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
where does the hydration bladder hang or placed in the pack?
where does the hydration bladder hang or placed in the pack? Also, does anyone have a pic of the internal zip-off lid?

Granite Gear has an internal pocket for hydration up to 3L. It has a bungee cord that keeps the reservoir from sleeping down inside the pocket. It works really well and adds tremendous value to the pack. For a big hauler, this pack carries very well especially for it's minimalist weight. It is also one of the easiest packs to load. The materials are bomber and will last for several seasons of hard backpacking.

Great pack! Hauls a ton and it is way tougher than it looks. It took some getting use to the different loading method(I've always had top loaders), but once you figure out where to put your gear, it's a solid, stable pack. It's very comfortable as well. I wouldn't recommend it as an entry level pack, but once your other gear is light and fast, this pack deserves consideration. Maybe a little pricey, but it is a great piece of gear.
Change me.
