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.

Why We Explore
  It’s the single most iconic vista in all of Newfoundland, all the more prized because it’s so hard to reach.

Why Frequent Fliers Will Appreciate the Toughest Carry-On Suitcase, Ever
  I’ve been roller bag carry-on curious for years. But until now, I just couldn’t find a piece robust or convenient enough to justify switching away from my tried-and-true backpack.

How to Be Reborn as a Tree
  When I was 16 years old, my father’s mother, whom we called Meemaw, gave up the ghost.

(Meemaw was, among other things, a former vaudeville performer and the sister of a legendary jazz drummer.)   The...

What Snowboarding Has to do With Parenthood, Loss, and Cancer With Kimmy Fasani

First Look: Danner N45
  Nothing challenges a shoe like thru-hiking a long trail. On the 2,650-mile Pacific Crest Trail, you need the Goldilocks of hiking footwear: comfortable, breathable, lightweight, and durable. If that sounds like a tall order, it’s because it is, and most thru-hikers compromise by choosing comfort over durability, using trail runners that need to be replaced at least four times on...
