La Sportiva  Granite 32 Pack

I collect Backpacks. And it think it is important gear. I got the La Sportiva Granite Backpack for climbing . Super happy with it, slick style and super comfortable, with great back support that makes long approaches be more comfortable. The side zipper is a smart feature, it gives you quick access to the inside without unpacking everything. I also love the hip belt with gear loops, which is perfect for carrying climbing gear. It's comfortable on the approach and comfortable enough to climb with when I need to. A great pack with thoughtful features.

I just starting rocking this pack and I am loving it! It is the perfect size! Just today I fit a 70m rope, shoes, harness, personal kit, food, water, clothes and helmet inside and had extra space. Way roomier than I initially though. It carries super great too and literally feels like its not there even with a bigger load. Way comfy!! I love the little stash pocket for essentials and that the strap closure on the top has a metal catch rather than plastic. Super great pack overall. I am impressed and super psyched I got this!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the La Sportiva Granite Backpack for free to review, and after using it for the past two weeks, the comfort is what has impressed me the most. It sits really well on my back, feels secure when I’m moving, and doesn’t have that bulky or awkward feeling you can get with some packs. Even when I have it loaded up, the weight feels balanced and the straps stay comfortable for longer periods of wear. I also really like that it feels lightweight without sacrificing durability. There’s plenty of room for what I need for a day outside, but it still feels streamlined and easy to move in. If comfort is one of the biggest things you look for in a backpack, this is where the Granite really stands out to me. It’s lightweight, durable, easy to wear, and a pack I’d have no problem keeping on for hours.

I was immediately excited getting this pack and after putting it to the test through some arduous mountainous approaches it hasn't disappointed! The pack fits very comfortably and the frame distributes heavy loads perfectly, I can tell it was designed by an experienced pack designer! I do wish it had a touch higher capacity but with careful packing, I can bring everything I need for a day sport climbing at the crag.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for an honest review. I started rock climbing over 20 years ago any my very first rock climbing shoes were a white pair of La Sportivas, so when I saw this bag, my younger self screamed to get it to match my shoes (which I no longer have) My first impression was that the bag was *gorgeous* The brightest, prettiest white. The fabric feels super sturdy and I could tell, even when I toss it on the ground, the dirt can be wiped off (and white doesn't show as much anyway) I love the really sturdy backing because when I was packing for a day hike, the bag wasn't collapsing as I was trying to fill it. It has a few functional pockets, but mostly just super roomy inside. The only thing (for me) was weird is the bungee on top to open/close, it wasn't as intuitive as other bungees but I figured it out. Also, I ordered the S/M and I'm 5'4 and 120 lbs and to get the waist pack to fit well I had to go all the way to the ends of the belt to make it tight enough.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This backpack is incredible! It holds so much and feels so sturdy. The white and purple colors together are absolutely beautiful as well. I love how supportive it feels on my back and isn't hard to carry for a long time!
