Granite Gear Stratus Latitude Backpack - 4800 cu in
Brand : Granite GearItem : GRG0016
The Granite Gear Stratus Latitude 4800 pushes the boundaries of light packing performance. Ultralight packs can only carry minimal loads (20-30 pounds), and don't necessarily carry them in the most comfortable manner possible. Yet there are plenty of backpackers who need a pack with more volume and weight-carrying capacity, built with beefier fabrics to hold up to the rigors of a harsh environment. Weighing in at under 5 pounds, yet easily capable of hauling a 50-pound load comfortably, the Stratus Latitude belongs to a new generation of lightweight AND functional multi-day backpacks. Granite Gear's indestructible 3D molded Tepex frame, used in the largest of packs (up to 7000 cubic inch monsters), provides incredible support and a perfect fit on nearly any body type and size. Other cool features include a full front loading system that makes access to anything in the pack a snap (compression straps hold everything in place when the zips are open), hydration compatibility, and an internal zip-off lid.

Granite Gear Stratus Latitude Backpack - 4800 cu in
one sweet carry
For me this pack does a fair portion of it all. Long weekends are cool because the weight and compression system keep it from being huge overkill for a few days. It also bridges in to week long treks with only minimal work on the packing. I have packed it up to 45lbs and did a week with a buddy and had only one small problem. If you wear hard pants, like canvas, the hip belt and the pants will eat a hole in your hip, not alot of fun but not a problem with the pack itself. It was the only pack I needed all summer, and it was at least a pound lighter than my buddies smallest weekend pack, my favorite part.
Stratus latude is latin for "Kick ass pack"
I've been traveling around new zealand and australia for the last month and living out of my new pack. The front zip feature is amazing. I can get at even the most hidden gear w/o unpacking everything. The pack easily handles all of my gear and a good supply of food as well. I'm 5'10" and it fits like a glove. Awesome product.

Carries very well. Lightweight for its volume. Best feature is accessibility. Worse is that there are no pockets- a problem for the organizationally challenged. (There is a lid pocket of sorts- but not accessible without opening the pack.)
