Is it possible to switch out the hipbelt on this model for one of their "light" backpacks, like the women's model on the Nimbus Latitude Ki? I would like to have the hipbelt with the exoskeleton on it.

The instruction manual that came with the pack shows you how to change out the hipbelt. It specifically describes the use of Ultralight Belt, which it comes with, and the Light Belt which has the polymer exoskeleton for a firmer and heavier duty belt. You can download this manual from the Granite Gear website as well.

I bought the medium sized-pack but due to my skinny hips I swapped out the belt for a small. Works great, no cost difference for me. I don't have experience with other, non-GG hip belts used on this pack though.

Actually that's not true. The Granite Gear system allows for many different hipbelt combinations and is easily removed by pulling apart the velcro overlap and unscrewing the stainless-steel screw. Lastly undoing the load stabilizing straps releases the belt and allows you to use any of the Nimbus hipbelts Granite Gear makes. What I would do is, after purchasing the pack, sending in the unused hipbelt to Granite Gear and requesting the Nimbus exoskeleton hipbelt. It might cost you a tad bit more, but you will get a more substantial belt that will hold more weight comfortably. The trade-off is a slightly heavier empty pack weight. Customization is a huge advantage that Granite Gear has over the competition! Go to: www.granitegear.com to contact them.
