Review on Granite Gear Blaze 60L Backpack 2019: A Durable and Efficient Outdoor Companion by Hugh Starr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent Lightweight Mid-Size Backpack

I have purchased three of these mid-sized backpacks. I'm 6 feet tall and my torso is 21 inches long. My wife is 5ft 4" with an 18" torso. This way each of us can use a regular backpack and I put the backpack in each of our cars as a home backpack. There is plenty of space in the 60-litre Blaze. for a sleeping system, kitchen utensils, food and water, a first aid kit and a set of layered clothing for my wife and I. with 30 pounds. I disagree with some reviewers as I have trouble reaching the large side pockets when hiking. I can just about get the liter water bottles I have in my side pockets, but it's very difficult to change the bottles in my bag. Although all three of my backpacks are black and plaid, one of mine is the women's version. Apart from the differences in straps and shoulder straps, all the straps on the women's backpack are turquoise (black on the men's). Great package!
