Granite Gear Escape AC 60 pack is built super rugged and light. Escape offers you 3660 cubic inches of cargo space in a top-loader pack. The full-length polyethylene backpanel is stiff enough to carry the pack weight on the hips and flexible enough to facilitate torso movement. Rated for about 36 pounds of pack weight, Escape is a great choice for those overnighter peak attempts, and two or three day romps in the backcountry.

Lightweight components like Cordura fabric at pack corners and bottom give it strength. Super light fabrics like silnylon for the pack sides get the empty pack weight down to about three pounds.

MSR $200; 3660 cu.in.; 3 lbs 2 oz.
