Comments about Granite Gear Crown V.C. 60 Pack:
This is the first pack I have used that is just plain comfortable all day. I am able to use the hipbelt effectively to take the weight off my shoulders and upper back. So far, I have been using it on day hikes with up to 18 lbs. By the end of the day, I cannot even feel that I've had a pack on my back. I love the simplicity of it, no unnecessary straps and add ons. It feels very durable and rigid for such a lightweight backpack. Only came with size Medium hipbelt and I may need to go to Granite Gear to exchange for a size Large.
Comments about Granite Gear Crown V.C. 60 Pack:
Great pack. I have the crown 60 and a nimbus meridian. There is no beating the comfort, quality and ease of Granite Gear. The Crown 60 is comfortable for me up to about 32-34 lbs. the weight and durability of the pack feel unreal. Other packs of this weight feel like they'll disintegrate while the crown 60 feels like it could be dragged behind a horse fully loaded without a mark. The weight of the pack sits so close to the body, it becomes a part of your body and the pack is unnoticeable when carrying weights under 30lbs. Above that weight, the straps begin to dig a little bit. (nimbus meridian is comfortable for me up to 50lbs and becomes more invisible the longer you hike). The crown 60 is the perfect pack for summer. The 4 clip closure top is simple, but somewhat annoying if you need to access the internal contents often. However, the stretchy outside pockets are plentiful and efficient for quick access and stowing.
