Virga3 26 - Unisex
$143.96
Description

  Granite Gear takes its commitment to making the outdoors a space for every body a step further by reframing the conversation around ultralight backpacking with the Virga3 series. It continues to be of utmost importance to Granite Gear to expand the range of people and bodies that their packs can comfortably and responsibly fit.

  With a fully adjustable torso height and width and the lightest Re-Fit hip belt to-date, Granite Gear invites all to join the ultralight experience with the Virga3 26.

  The Virga3 26 weighs in at just 1.26 lbs (stripped weight: 1.16 lb), made with Robic® High-tenacity nylon (100D and 210D) with Barrier DWR. Part of the way Granite Gear achieves the phenomenally light weights of the Virga3 series packs is by not utilizing a frame sheet, stays, or foams in the back panel. The load itself functions as the pack’s suspension. The nylon shell gains support and rigidity from a sleeping pad— fold up and slide your pad into the interior or simply drop in a rolled pad and let it uncoil to push against the back panel, and pack gear inside the roll.

  The shoulder harness system now takes a nod from the trail running and fastpacking world with two sternum straps for an even hug (fully removable). The Virga3 26 utilizes a removable 25mm webbing waist belt. Other key features are: large dual hip belt pockets with DWR-treated zippers, roll-top main compartment opening with top compression for easy access, and a pair of elastic bottle holders on both shoulder straps.

Footprint sold separately.

The Best Skis for Beginners in 2024
  For many, it’s not realistic to have a truck, van, convertible, SUV, and EV all parked in the driveway. The same goes for skis. When you’re choosing your first vehicle — or in this case, your primary driver at the ski resort — it’s good to think about where you’ll most use the rig the majority of the time.   Enter...
11 Ounces, 1,300 Gallons: LifeSaver Wayfarer Packable Water Purifier Review
  We were about 20 miles up Gypsum Creek, pedaling deeper into White River National Forest aboard a pair of burly UBCO bikes loaded down with an obscene amount of camping gear. We had everything we needed for a weekend outing and gear-testing trip — except water. I knew there was a water source at camp, a favorite little fishing spot...

Two drills that will improve your breathing when swimming
  Effective breathing in freestyle is one of the most important and most challenging skills to learn in swimming, particularly if you’re racing in open water.   A poor breath can cause all sorts of problems in your stroke, really hurting your speed.   One of the key skills in effective breathing is rotation. Rather than lifting your head or pulling it to...
Samaya ULTRA35 Review: Minimalist Dyneema Pack Worth Maximalist Price
  The Samaya ULTRA35 is an ultralight minimalist alpine pack with the added bling of Dyneema. On paper, it checks all the boxes for a high-performance alpinist. But it comes at a price — an MSRP of $440 for a pack of this volume is a big ask.   I tested the pack over a week of backcountry, multipitch ice climbing in...

The Bike for Roadies Who Don’t Race: ENVE Fray First Look Review
  ENVE first entered the bike frame game with Custom Road builds tailored to individual riders. Later, the brand began mass-producing complete bikes in the form of its Melee road race machine and its MOG gravel counterpart.   Now, with a place on the World Tour, the Melee is a well-known race bike. It is aggressive and fast, whereas the MOG provides...
Your Rain Jacket May Soon Be Illegal
  “Forever Chemicals” keep mud out of your boots and make rain jackets waterproof, but they’re about to be illegal. So, back in 2013, footwear maker Keen decided to try and figure out the formula for keeping everyone dry without poisoning our drinking water and contaminating our soil. Could they make high performance boots and jackets without causing cancer and suppressing...
4 Ways to Open, ‘Double-Safe’ Magnet Lock: Vosteed Ankylo Review
  Vosteed knives should be a household name based on the quality and variety of knives the brand continues to put out. But youd be forgiven for not knowing —after all, the company only ended up on my radar by accident. I was having myself a Google, researching the Shilin blade style, and Vosteeds Nightshade flipper came up.   But that was...
The Surprising Way Air Hunger Limits Your Endurance
  Our lungs and airways are “overbuilt,” according to exercise physiologists. Though we gasp and pant during heavy exercise, that’s not what actually slows us down. Instead, the bottleneck is the heart’s ability to pump oxygen-rich blood to the muscles, or the muscles’ ability to make use of that oxygen. That’s why the heart and muscles get bigger and stronger in...
The Best Backcountry Ski Bindings of 2024
  Sure, you might still be able to hike out of bounds at your local ski area, but you can’t actuallyskin uphillwithout a binding that releases at the heel and pivots at the toe.
