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.

The 9 Best Gateway Towns to U.S. National Parks
  Terlingua, Texas, doesn’t have a lot of people. The tiny settlement (population 100ish) is literally a ghost town, where a handful of homes and businesses mingle with a cemetery and the stone ruins of a late 1800s mining camp. It’s dusty, hot as hell, and about 240 miles to the nearest Whole Foods. And yet, I fell in love with...
Hike, Party, Repeat: HIGHLANDER Backpacking Festival Brings Music, Workshops, and More to the Trail
  The words backpacking and festival dont often appear together in the same phrase. Festivals are loud, crowded places full of energy, entertainment, food, drink, and merch. Backpacking, by comparison, is a tranquil pursuit. Its usually done to escape crowds, and you carry all your supplies on your back.   HIGHLANDER Adventure Festival mashes the two together, though. Its a true backpacking...

Should We Bring Our Nanny to the Crag?
  Dear Sundog: My wife and I are climbers who now have a baby and a toddler. We’ve started to get back into climbing and take the kids with us to a nearby climbing area.
