Virga3 26 - Unisex
$143.96
Description

  Granite Gear takes its commitment to making the outdoors a space for every body a step further by reframing the conversation around ultralight backpacking with the Virga3 series. It continues to be of utmost importance to Granite Gear to expand the range of people and bodies that their packs can comfortably and responsibly fit.

  With a fully adjustable torso height and width and the lightest Re-Fit hip belt to-date, Granite Gear invites all to join the ultralight experience with the Virga3 26.

  The Virga3 26 weighs in at just 1.26 lbs (stripped weight: 1.16 lb), made with Robic® High-tenacity nylon (100D and 210D) with Barrier DWR. Part of the way Granite Gear achieves the phenomenally light weights of the Virga3 series packs is by not utilizing a frame sheet, stays, or foams in the back panel. The load itself functions as the pack’s suspension. The nylon shell gains support and rigidity from a sleeping pad— fold up and slide your pad into the interior or simply drop in a rolled pad and let it uncoil to push against the back panel, and pack gear inside the roll.

  The shoulder harness system now takes a nod from the trail running and fastpacking world with two sternum straps for an even hug (fully removable). The Virga3 26 utilizes a removable 25mm webbing waist belt. Other key features are: large dual hip belt pockets with DWR-treated zippers, roll-top main compartment opening with top compression for easy access, and a pair of elastic bottle holders on both shoulder straps.

Footprint sold separately.

10-Lb. Canoe Carries 800 Lbs., Fits in Your Pack: Alpacka Raft Rendezvous Review
  After struggling against a headwind for the better part of an hour, I had some flagging confidence in our inflatable canoe. The concept was good — great, even — but facing a persistent wind in your larger-than-average rubber duck will make anyone question whether the trade was worth it. My doubt was short-lived, however.   Later that day, we met another...
What’s the Best Time to Drink a Protein Shake?
  Protein shakes have exploded in popularity. Per a 2023 journal article, the market value for protein supplements (which includes ready-to-drink shakes, powders, gummies, and bars) is expected to hit $10.8 billion in 2030. Despite their high demand, it can be challenging to know the best time of day to drink a protein shake.   If you’re planning to have one, it’s...
GearJunkie Goes Full Suspension on the Slopes: ShredShox First Look Review
  I stood on the edge of the catwalk, looking down at the moguls below me. I bounced experimentally on the air shocks beneath my feet, which compressed slightly under my weight. This was my third run with the ShredShox platform system, and I was just starting to get a feel for it.   It wasnt throwing my skiing off — as I...
First Look: Suunto Wing and Sonic Headphones
  Your personalized playlist can be the key to achieving faster splits, pushing through longer distances, or simply setting the right vibe to match your mantra. Whatever role it plays for you, it shouldn’t compromise your safety on the trail or pavement. You can still enjoy music or podcasts while staying in tune with your surroundings—you just need the right headphones....
The Weird Foothill Guy Believes His Style of Skiing Is Better than a Day at the Resort. We Tried It Out.
  Whump! My face plant is sudden, a cartwheel of flying ski poles and curse words into powder. The sting of snow on bare skin jolts my eyes open, and I hear a chorus of woo! erupt lower on the slope.   “Yeah, Fred!” a voice bellows. “You were a little too far forward—remember to keep your weight back.”   I brush myself...

This Wooly Mammoth Is Your Cozy-Core Winter Camping Hideout
  Forget about the chalet — take your ski lodge with you. The Mammoth Overland WLY trailer promises to keep you warm in all but the coldest temperatures. Its like a giant mitten inside, thanks to wool-lined walls.   Plus WLY, or Wooly, has loads of insulation and a heater meant for a cabin, all to make cold-season camping a lot more...
The Best Field Watches of 2024
  Field watches are, for good reason, among the most popular styles of watches, especially for outdoor enthusiasts. They trace their roots back to military necessity. That mother of invention led to a style of watches that can be both understated and luxurious, refined and utilitarian.   I love field watches. Among my collection, field watches are the timepieces that often accompany...
Who’s Got It Worse, Ass-Pens or J-Holes?
  Outside spends a lot of time ranking the best mountain towns in the country, but which one is the worst? Is Aspen’s conspicuous wealth worse than Jackson Hole’s false modesty? How many billionaires does it take to ruin a local economy? Is there any hope for the ski-bum lifestyle? Paddy O’Connell and Frederick “Rico” Reimers bring us a debate you...
What It’s Really Like to Buy a 1 Euro Home in Italy
  What if we told you you could buy a home in a quaint Italian village for less than the price of a cappuccino? The fine print, of course, is that the house you’ll get will essentially be a collapsed set of walls. It will need major construction to be livable, and it’ll take much longer than you’d expect (read: years,...
2025 Aston Martin Vantage Review: Great Expectations, Even Better in the Flesh
  A more compact footprint sufficiently differentiates the Vantage from the larger DB12 grand tourer and Vanquish flagship. Both those stellar models serve their purpose, but the smallest Aston in the lineup caters to driving enthusiasts with a dynamic and nimble chassis.   That chassis now houses a twin-turbo AMG V8 massaged by Aston to pump out an unbelievable 656 horsepower and...
Honda Prelude Returns to America, Gets Hybrid Powertrain
