Why We Like The Granite Gear Virga3 55L Backpack
Earning its place in the ultralight category, the Granite Gear Virga3 55L Backpack is filled with innovations that minimize mass. Rather than letting the weight of a frame sheet, stays, or back panel foam weigh us down, the Virga3 load assists with suspension. Dedicated panels stash our sleeping pad at our back to provide support and shape. Compression straps at the top, front, and sides secure our equipment, ensuring the best balance as we endure the outdoors. And ultralight doesn't have to mean ultra-weak: Robic nylon fabric keeps our gear protected from rugged rock faces and unexpected weather.

Excellent ultralight pack for all sizes!

Great materials, which are also great for the environment, being undyed and thus using less water in the manufacturing process. The pack is essentially one size fits all, in that there are adjustments for a wide range of waist sizes, and torso lengths, making it an incredibly inclusive piece of gear. Love that I can lend it to a friend or family member who may be my size or even a very different size and still know they’ll be perfectly comfortable using it. This also means that even for one user, the fit has the ability to be dialed in much more than most packs, especially in the ultralight category. The attachment points like shock cords, gear loops, and compression straps are all very well thought out. I especially love the holes on the front of the side pockets, which allow you to pull on the compression straps inside the pockets without having to actually reach into them, just genius. I’ve taken this pack on a day trip in the presidential range, even though it’s much higher capacity than a daypack, to dial in the fit and get a feel for it, and after a full day of hiking and snowshoeing, the pack still felt super comfortable, especially for a frameless pack.

Ultralight and Ultra-amazing!

I bought this pack for the Toubkal summit and it did not disappoint. Full disclosure, it wasn't packed for a thru hike so I still need to see how it will pack using a sleeping pad in place of the frame, but it was ridiculously light so I am hopeful when I pack it for extended hiking it will be comfortable. I was able to adjust it easily to my size and it had ample exterior zipped pockets for water and other small items. I even used a 1.5 liter bladder internally and it worked fine. Using the bladder actually helped with weight distribution.
