Comments about Granite Gear Blaze A.C. 60 Ki Pack - Women's:
I am a 51 year old backpacker/hiker who has done week long trips with a most excellent Gregory pack that was my staple....but I am getting older and want better food and warmth and lighter gear so I can carry better food, more warmth and comforts. Hubby waited patiently as I periodically tried on various light packs that when loaded pinched my 5'6 125" frame here and there and felt all wrong. Then I read about this pack and blazed a trail to the only store in the area that had one left- Mama Mia! Comfort, room, ultra light, carried my twenty five pound comfort load beautifully on two recent backpacks- one up a steep grade and one on snowy trail-I am in love with this pack- no it does not have the bells and whistles I was sure I would miss but guess what? I did not miss them- I don't even miss the top pack- I strapped some lightweight cup holders on the belt to carry my extras and a water bottle and I was a happy hiker! No pinching, no instability, no dragging on my hips-Super adjustable and really nice stretchy side and back pockets and under 3 pounds! It was amazing to hike with a pack this light versus my heavier load hauling Gregory which I am still keeping for future dream trips of 7 days or longer.-

Comments about Granite Gear Blaze A.C. 60 Ki Pack - Women's:
I've used this pack for several 3-4 day trips. It is comfortable and super adjustable. The straps are padded and fit well in the shoulders. Waist belt comfortable. Carries well up to 30 lbs. At 20-25 lbs it is a dream! I used the BV solo 450 canister and can carry up to 5 days food in it. The BV 450 fits easily into the pack. My sleeping bag in a compression sack fills the entire bottom of the pack. Back pad is comfortable and not too hot. I like the fact that the back pad is rigid when the pack is fully loaded and helps me keep a good posture and not hunch over going uphill. Drawbacks are because it is lightweight not a lot of pockets for storage. I put my ultralight tent in the vertical outside mesh pocket and use the cords to strap a windbreaker jacket to the outside for quick access. I bought the GG waist belt pocket add on and the lineloc top lid which adds another 10oz but really increases the ability to carry the little things you need during the day like snacks, maps, first aid kit, toiletries etc without having to dig inside your pack. You can strap a foam pad to the lineloc lid top and it also detaches for a day pack but I just use the Blaze as a day pack because it is so light and comfortable. Another drawback is the inside pocket for a reservoir is tight for getting a 2L reservoir in there. It would be hard to carry a larger bear canister and I haven't tried it but you can use the extension collar.
