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

Walking the AT this year convinced myself I needed to lose a few extra pounds. My Gregory Baltoro can easily carry heavy loads, but he weighs almost 5 pounds. I've tried several ultralight backpacks but found the sacrifice in comfort was too great. The Blaze 60 weighs 3 pounds and offers the same comfort as the Gregory. Also a much better water bottle/side pocket design and hip belt pockets that can actually hold a large phone (unlike Gregory). Adjusting the waist and shoulder straps was easy - the backpack fits me perfectly. In addition, this package has a competitive price.
