        Comments about Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian Ki Pack - Women's:

        I spent 6 days in the "primitive" parts of the Grand Canyon with no more than what this pack would carry. The weight distribution made it seem like it wasn't there many times. It's taken tumbles down cliffs (without me attached to it) and stood up to some serious testing. However, it is not squirrel proof (my fault). I wouldn't trade this pack for anything!

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian Ki Pack - Women's:

          This pack has been put through the test for several hundred miles on the AT in varired conditions. It fits me like a glove. Sometimes I don't even notice it is there. I really like the side zipper on it...I pack my tent toward the bottom of my pack and can grab it out easily through the zipper if need be. The side pockets leave a little bit to be desired...they are good for smaller things, but not too small or they will fall through the drain hole. They are not good for water bottles or items that need to be gotten to frequently. The hydration tube hole, I had to cut it so my Camelback mouthpiece would fit through it. It squeaked like crazy until I did some modifications. It may sound like alot of bad things but this is really a great pack. Handles heavier loads really well. I don't think anyone could go wrong with this pack.

          Comments about Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian Ki Pack - Women's:

          I took the pack on a 3 day drip to the wind river area. I am very hard on my gear and it held up really well. The pack was very comfortable and balanced. The pack is very simple, The top loading lid I really liked so I would not have to open the pack every time I needed to grab something small. i would have rated this bag 5 stars but I did find wear on the bag. When I returned home there was a small hole at the top of my bag. I think a branch might have snagged it. I would recommend this to a friend that is gentle on their packs.
