Decent backpack, good price

Best Pack I've Ever Owned!

by Livy, from UT, United States Updated on March 2, 2021

There is so much to say about this pack it's hard to know where to begin. Incredibly durable, very unique, amazingly comfortable, and super easy to load is just scratching the surface. Mike talked about too many straps. He obviously doesn't get why they are there. Hopefully he will read this review so he understands their purpose. Every single strap on this pack has a unique pu...

The backpack with too many straps

by Mike, Updated on August 21, 2021

That's when my disappointment set in. Several huge design flaws became very evident and mak...

Granite Gear Nimbus Trace Access 85 Backpack

by Doaf, from CA, United States Updated on October 26, 2017

I received the pack Thursday, backpacked in Ansel Adams Wilderness the next three days. Fresh snow in September, it was beautiful! I like to go ten days without resupply so I wanted a pack that can easily carry 50 pounds. So far, in just three days of hiking the pack seems great. There are a lot of straps but you get used to it. The straps to make the lid a waist pack are real...
