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

I have been using Arc'teryx Bora 80 for over 20 years but have decided to lighten my load. The Blaze 60 weighs half as much, holds almost as much and is probably a little more comfortable. The large water bottle pockets, which can be tightened with drawstrings, are fantastic. A large mobile phone fits easily in large pockets on the hip belt. I've used the Blaze 60 as a daypack (it's barely heavier than my regular daypack) and the side zip makes it easy to find items underneath. I only found three minor issues: 1) there is no key clip in the top cover pocket; 2) both hipbelt pockets close to the left, making access to the left pocket zipper difficult; 3) Stretch Hole - The pocket is small making it difficult to fit a larger raincoat than my Marmot Precip.
