Granite Gear Vapor Trail Backpack - 3300-3900cu in
not for me

Ranked #270 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
June 21, 2009
I actually ended up sending this pack back after 1 trip. The torso length seemed right and it appeared to fit pretty well loaded up at home but after the first couple miles with a very moderate load (~20lb) my back started to hurt a bit.
Also after I got to where I was going scrambling with this pack was uncomfortable. Every time I stepped up high my leg would interfere with the hip belt.
I've ended up going back to a frameless golite pack for these kind of trips.
