Granite Gear Backpacks

Granite Gear gave the Adventure Travel Pack a slimmed down design and sturdy lightweight construction to conquer adventure races and ultralight peak-bagging expeditions. Pack your sleeping bag and other essentials in a spacious top-loading single compartment, and externally lash anything else on the compression front panel. Forget the clutter of water bottles, the Adventure Travel Pack is hydration compatible�meaning it has a sleeve to hold your water bladder and an exit port for the mouthpiece; and it even converts into a comfy pillow by packing itself into the hydration sleeve when you need to take a snoozer.

Pack covers are useful, so long as they're light�otherwise you'll hem and haw over whether to bring it, and then when it rains, Murphy's Law guarantees you'll have left it behind. Granite Gear's Cloud Cover understands this better than anything. Made from 30D Sil (silicone impregnated) Cordura nylon ripstop, the Cloud Cover weighs less than four ounces, but is surprisingly durable. The Cloud Cover fits most packs up to 4000 cubic inches.

The draw-top closure keeps food sealed when not in use. *Assorted colors. �Vendor

You can open the panel from the top or bottom, which allows you to get to every inch of your pack so you can quickly find your headlamp at sunset. Internal compression straps keep your gear from moving around, and the stretchy zip panel lets you stuff the Vapor to the brim.
