Granite Gear Nimbus Trace 62 Backpack - 3400-3800cu in
Like a glove

Ranked #7 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
August 23, 2011
Simply put, this is the most comfortable pack I've ever owned. It fits great, allows for maneuvering around boulders and trees, and ventilates well.
I really like the new storage pockets on the outside. I tend to use the long skinny one down the middle for my rain gear.
The new kevlar strings for compression straps have their pros and cons. The downfall is that one of the ends popped off. I could see how this would bug me. I just don't like anything falling off my pack. Not a biggy though, you can just tie off the end and move on.
I would definitely recommend this pack. Well worth it if you wait for the next sale!
