 It's just a little bit of a dining dynamic stretch built in because of the way we cut and sew it. There's a lot of other features that are small and detailed like that throughout the whole pack. It just makes it a professional level ultralight hiking.

 What that does is because it's not on the straight which the dining that has zero stretch those white strands of Dyneema It's at an angle. There's a little bit of a stretch there. You can see that daisy chain lying down flat like it would going over going over a shoulder. So that's a little secret comfort feature that we've built into all of our pack straps

 So we're big here on MLG I'm making the side pockets tall enough to be secured, being able to cinch it down tight and you can clip the contents. depending on what it is, you could have a keeper sling you clip it over there and secure it, or this also has a little loop down here that you can secure into. Like that you can have multiple spots disappear or strap stuff behind this short daisy chain. Get it in there

Mountain Laurel Designs Backpack Features Overview

 Yeah, I love this pack. Carries super comfortably on my back. I would honestly even without the bottom pocket I would get an Mrd pack again because the shoulder straps are just so comfortable. Yeah, I just I just love it

 I would honestly even without the bottom pocket I would get an Mrd pack again because the shoulder straps are just so comfortable. Yeah, I just I just love it. You know? I would of course like to try another kind of pack, but at least if I get another Mmd pack I know what I'm getting which is really good product. Yeah, I think that's about it

 You have some more space and if you're hiking in a lot of wet environments, the Dcf would also be better, though I believe less doable than the Dyneema X fabric here made in Virginia. Us takes up to three months if you order it to get one, so there's that. But when you get a really good backpack, yep, think that's it guys, you.

 Yes, I think my my favorite feature is probably the S-shaped super comfortable shoulder straps with 11 millimeter Eba foam. I believe that the Mount Wall Designs is the only company that uses 11 millimeter phone, so they are really, really comfortable. Me personally I can carry without a hip build frameless up to 12 kilo comfortably. Eight 10 kilos is nicer of course

Mountain Laurel Designs Burn 38L Pack 3000+ km Review (ENG)

 colder weather gear. Ideally, any larger packs would be able to roll down to 45L-size for airline.

 In addition, the shoulder straps have daisy chains sewn to the front which are handy for attaching accessory pockets and electronics/navigation gear. I have a hard time using packs that don’t have these.Daisy chains sewn to the front of the shoulder straps make it easy to add accessory pockets or hang items. The S-shaped shoulder pads are kinder to women and men with developed chest muscles

 Since they are sewn on and not replaceable, I’d recommend measuring the distance from the inside edge of your hip bones and around your back and sending that in with your order to ensure that you get a hip belt that’s your correct size.Having a robust hip belt on a frameless backpack is a worthwhile luxury of you carry bulky loads.Comparable BackpacksRecommendationThe Mountain Laurel Designs Exodus is a great backpack that’s ideal for thru-hiking and multi-day backpacking trips. Although it’s frameless, it still has many of the amenities you find on heavier high volume backpacks, like a hip belt, optional hip belt pockets, and a plethora of external attachment points

 There are clips and loops along the front and rear seams at the bottom of pack that let you narrow the depth of the main bag so it has less volume (from 40L down to 20L – the pocket sizes stay the same). The resulting 38L is a much more reasonable size for day hiking or ultralight thru-hiking without a bear canister. GoLite used to offer this same option on their backpacks and it is a value-add for a high-capacity frameless pack like the Exodus, essentially giving you two backpacks for the price of one.You can shrink the volume of the main pack bag by with a pair of clips at the base of the pack

Mountain Laurel Designs Exodus Ultralight Backpack Review

expert-review

The Blaze 60 is built to go the distance, comfortably and tailored to you. The A.C. frame let's you lock in your fit precisely to your torso size. The frame, in combination with the patent-pending fully adjustable Re-Fit hip belt and the molded foam back panel, lets the pack comfortably carry up to 50 lbs. The custom fabric is an innovative technology that makes this Granite Gear's most durable pack to date. In the high-impact and high-abraison areas, they're using a Granite Gear exclusive 210D Robic nylon UHMWPE triple ripstop. The lid, which is fully removable to cut grams, can be converted to an optional chest pack to carry on your front to keep even more contents at the ready. A tall vertical hidden zipper now allows you to access to main compartment quickly, especially to get to those contents at bottom of pack.

OutdoorGearLab

Thanks to its impressive design, the Granite Gear Blaze 60 is once again the best overall backpacking backpack in our review. This pack is somehow able to comfortably support up to 50 pounds while only weighing 3.0 pounds itself. We enjoyed the great set of features on this pack for their practicality and usability. There is a stretchy mesh front pocket, roomy hip belt pockets, a removable top-lid, breathable back panel, a long front access zipper, and nine compression straps to handle variable loads. This thing has just about every feature you could ask for and nothing you don't need. It's an impressive pack in both weight and weight capacity. A light pack allows you to keep your base weight low, but since the Blaze has such a robust suspension, you're able to comfortably carry a few luxury items, winter/climbing gear, or extra food for a longer trail section.
While this pack does many things right, there is no perfect pack for everyone. Some of the buckles on this pack are small and hard to operate with gloves. Though this isn't a high-tech, revolutionary pack, part of its appeal is its simplistic yet functional design. Granite Gear keeps things simple, and by using some of the lightest and most durable fabrics available, they manage to keep the pack light and strong.

The Granite Gear Blaze 60 has repeatedly earned the top spot in our Best Backpacking Packs review. This pack is available in men's and women's versions. It can comfortably carry 50-pound loads and only weighs 3 pounds, which is much lighter than most backpacking packs. This pack is full of useable features that make it an excellent choice for backpacking. The hip belt width is adjustable, as is the torso length. We were able to make this pack fit a wide variety of body shapes when testing. The shoulder straps and hip belt are very padded, too. And, the breathable back panel has just enough cushion to make wearing this pack very comfortable. It has a stretchy mesh front pocket and roll-top main compartment. The main compartment is also accessible via a zipper in the front of the pack. It also has roomy hip belt pockets, and the adjustable water bottle pockets are accessible without taking the pack off. 
While this pack gets a lot of things right, nothing is perfect for everyone. Some of our testers found the small buckles difficult to use, especially while wearing gloves. But, we'll take that trade-off for a lightweight backpacking pack that can still handle heavy loads.

 but when I go and join trail maintenance crews, the Gregory Optic 48 is too lightweight. It's not durable enough and certainly the rating for the weight is is not enough. So I had them searching thinking about getting maybe the Gregory Baltoro but a granite gear this year and the spring had a fantastic sail. It was a 25% off one item sale and so I decided to pull the trigger on the new granite gear

 Obviously the volume will be down and you could strap it at the top and such. So yeah, a couple of options there. Okay, so I flip this around to the caring side. How things like I mentioned a full padded hip belt

 not sure why because when they updated the crown they called it the Crown - I was assuming they would you know, call the Blase blase - but instead they decided to just go with a play 60. So I got this in the Coyote Brown and I am really enjoying it. This is only the second backpacking trip although I did take this out loaded on a hiking. And yeah, okay, so some features of this pack that you can see is as a front stretch mesh pocket which is supplemented by these

 In addition to secure your connection to the backpack and to draw the bottom in, there are straps here, and this strap is actually really useful As you'll see on the other side, the shoulder pads are well padded, but they're also not that heavy and there are portions. You can kind of see that there's no holes there for better ventilation and weight savings. There is a not a full daisy chain, but I really like this feature and I have a little pouch attached to the strap there that you can see. The chest strap across is adjustable and it has a little whistle on the buckle here

Best Backpacking Backpacks of 2022 - GearLab

For my most recent pack I was on the hunt for a decent balance between volume, weight, versatility and load capacity and ended up going with Granite Gear's Blaze 60. Under 3lbs, wonderfully customizable fit, can handle up to 50lbs and compresses down easily for lower volume loads. Oh, and the removable brain and hip belt combine to form a fanny pack for day hikes.

I was considering the Mariposa 60 by Gossamer Gear, but want to check with some more experience backpackers before making any $200+ decisions. Hoping to move towards lightweight/ ultralight backpacking when I’m more experienced, which I’m factoring into my search. What are your favorite brands and why?

Hunting for a good backpack. Suggestions?

 The main compartment is essentially a massive bag, making it very easy to fit all of your gear and includes a stretchy mesh area and place for a water bladder. The top is a simple but effective pull cinch and if you later on need to grab something out of the middle or bottom of the pack, you can easily grab it with the hidden zipper which will expose all the contents of the bag without having to unpack them from the top. [Music] Tightening straps and places to lash to are located on the front of the pack along with a breathable stretchy compartment perfect for drying out wet clothes or tarps while you hike. A large water bottle holder is found on each side and they could be tightened down to fit any size bottle

 It's about leaving your house and getting out in nature. The Blaze is happy to come along for the ride.

 Okay, fine, it's a backpack, not a magical entity that will satisfy every hiking desire imaginable, but that's the feeling it gives my Granny Gear Blaze in the Pottery Clay Brown Colorway, is a 60 liter pack capable of comfortably carrying up to 50 pounds. This is a huge improvement over its lightweight brother, The Crown too. If you want to carry more gear, the custom fabric is an innovative technology that makes this granite ears most durable packed to date. 100 d Robic High tenacity Nylon with Barrier DWR makes up the main body of this pack in the high impact and high abrasion areas

 [Music] Perhaps journey isn't the right word? Adventure is more suited to this brand. No need for showy designs and unnecessary features. Just lightweight, quality materials so that you can focus on the hike through stead of your back and shoulders. Birds, water, wind, the subtle hum of mosquitoes

Granite Gear Blaze 60 (in field review)

 Well padded, extremely comfortable. you can see that a little more once. I Take the pack off hip belt pockets here. They are sewn on to the hip belt across the top and just velcro it across the bottom so they don't flop around or anything

95 four to seven if you round up which which is a good price for for the pack that you're getting here. So let's jump right into features on it. Starting at the top here, you do have a lid pocket that is easily accessible to get into while you're wearing the pack. Shoulder straps are comfortable

 sternum strap with a safety whistle? Okay, and of course the hip belt. The hip belts. Well padded, extremely comfortable. you can see that a little more once

GRANITE GEAR BLAZE 60 OVERVIEW

For a lightweight backpacker looking to use on multi-day trips and/or through-hikers it may, or may not be the right pack.

Shoulder straps I found to be very comfortable and did not place pressure points around my pit area.

Great for some but not  me.

 And these tents, even though they are very, very light, they are rather bulky and I'm thinking about how I want to pack them. I might just pack one on the outside. I've been putting a tripod in this pocket, but maybe I can move the tripod to the front. Uh, yeah

Hey, this is John with for the love of gear gear reviews and today we are going to take a quick look at the Granite Gear Blaze 60. Yeah, Ultra Lightweight Backpacking pack. Um, I picked this pack up because I needed to get a lighter pack. My other one was about seven pounds um, but I wanted something that was gonna be ultra light that I could actually carry big load in

 I find it felt a little bit sweaty. [Music] The back panel is really neat and it's adjustable so you get it in a range of torso sizes. So I got the regular which I believe is like 18 through 21 inches [Music] and basically, um, these they're just little buckles in here that you can slot in and dial in the fit, which is really nice. This has been really comfortable so far in my test hikes
