Granite Gear
Crown3 60 - Men's
$191.96
Description

  Building off the successes of the Crown2, the Crown3 60 boasts Granite Gear's fully adjustable Re-Fit hip belt, a new and innovative Vapor Current Mark 3 compression molded PE frame sheet with molded foam back panel, and removable lid (which converts into a chest pack or lumbar pack in conjunction with the hip belt), all while weighing in at 2.4lbs (regular torso without lid). For ultralight loads, the frame sheet can be removed, lowering the weight to 2lbs.

  The Vapor Current Mark 3 compression molded polyethylene frame sheet has molded reinforcement channels and die-cut holes to minimize weight without sacrificing structural integrity. The frame works in combination with the molded foam back panel with ventilation channels to support an efficient load transfer of 35lbs comfortably. The frame sheet is fully removable for weight savings when the base weight of the pack doesn't call it.

  New for the Crown3 is the optional add-on capability of reinforcing the frame sheet with a U-shaped aluminum stay for treks that do require base weights north of 35lbs (sold separately).

Footprint sold separately.

  Every single bike brand will tell you that more women on bikes is an important goal. Then many of those same brands will offer smaller bikes with build kits, specifically handlebars, that aren’t appropriate for smaller riders. The practice is even more common in the world of gravel cycling.   The details that set the stage That’s the gist of the...
Watch: Death-Defying Winch-Propelled Road Gap Attempt Goes Off the Rails
  Most people would shudder at the idea of launching themselves on skis into the air and across a road. But using a gas-powered winch to ramp up your speed for a world record-sized road gap attempt? It would be a death sentence for almost anyone —except for Josh Daiek. For the 40-year-old pro skier from Detroit, it was a vision...
Flashlight Like Few Others Has ‘Digital Zoom’: Fenix LD45R Review
  Press a button and rotate a wheel, and the Fenix LD45R flashlights beam of light smoothly adjusts from a tight beam to a broad floodlight. Sure, zooming flashlights may seem like old news on the surface. But inside the LD45R is a new technology, unlike anything Ive ever used.   Thats because the LD45R doesnt have any moving internal parts. Instead...
Stay Warm on the Coldest Ski Days: Stellar Equipment Free Down Parka Review
  It’s the bluebird days that tend to sneak up on me. High air pressures and high altitudes in Colorado can make for devastatingly cold air temperatures, even though it doesn’t look cold outside when you’re layering up. Those temps can exhaust the fun factor quickly.   I am not getting more tolerant of cold temperatures over time. So, the last time...

Keep the Passenger Seat Clean: Paw Jamboree Car Seat Protector for Dogs Review
  Some dogs are happy riding with views from the backseat or vehicle rear behind a gate. But other dogs want to cruise with a windshield view like a copilot, I like to think my pup is helping to keep an eye out for deer on the highway.   But opening the passenger door to friends after Ive had my pet co-pilot...
You’ve Never Seen a Hiking Shoe Like This: Merrell SpeedARC Surge Boa Review
  The frantically waving, stout brown tail in front of me tick-tocks too fast to set a proper jogging cadence, but it does add its own gleeful encouragement to my swift downhill hike.   Leica — GearJunkies famous German shorthaired pointer — and her four paws made easier work of North Table Mountains snaking trail, but I doubted they offered the same bounding ease...

Men Die More, Snowboarding Is Safer, and More Surprising Insights From Lifetime Ski Study
  Jake Shealy didnt used to wear a ski helmet. When he started researching them in the early 1990s, almost no one did. At that time, there were a lot of questions about how effective helmets were at preventing injuries. Some argued that they actually made falls more dangerous, but no one really knew for sure. There wasnt any data to...
Downhill Weapons for Wild Downhill Runs: X-Bionic TerraSkin X00/C First Look Review
  The trail ahead is rocky, steep, and covered with patches of snow and ice. I plunge forward, dropping from the ridge as sunrise crests over the Great Plains below. My feet hop from rock to dirt, and I wear a silly grin as I careen down the rustic trail. Yes, these wild-looking shoes can really grip. This is one fun...
