Description

Garnering immediate award-winning attention, the Granite Gear Blaze AC 60 comfortably hauls 35 pounds of gear while weighing less than 3 pounds. An ideal balance of weight and performance, the Blaze AC 60 is sure to appeal to ounce-counting backpackers and thru-hikers.

Equipped with Granite Gear's 3-dimensionally molded/alloyed AirCurrent frame, the Blaze AC 60 confidently carries weight while delivering ventilation. Molded air channels, breathable mesh fabrics and supportive foam further aid in the fight against heat and moisture build-up. Padded shoulder straps and a padded hipbelt provide additional comfort and load support. The Blaze AC 60 provides fit adjustability in two torso size offerings. The Regular fits torso sizes ranging from 18"-22" and the Short fits 14"-18" torso lengths.  An adjustable sternum strap and load-lifter straps provide fine-tuned fit adjustment.

A voluminous packbag provides ample storage (3660 cubic inches in the Regular and 3350 in the Short) capacity and a roll-down, cinch-tight spindrift collar protects the contents of the packbag while keeping weight to a minimum. A Line-Loc lid (sold separately) delivers further protection and an additional storage pocket. Lightweight integrated Line-Loc compression cord keeps gear securely in place. A large front stuff-it pocket serves as an additional storage space and twin side mesh pockets are perfect for water bottles or other gear.

A combination of 100D Ripstop, 210D Nylon Cordura and stretch mesh fabrics provide the Blaze AC 60 with durability in a lightweight design.

  • Adjustable torso length
  • LineLoc compression system
  • Stretch mesh pockets on the bottom of the pack sides

All the Room I Require

Likes

Fits really well when using size chart and ordering appropriate belt; Can load my sleeping bag (Hydrogen), Cot One; Inflatable Pad; Trekking Poles; Tent, etc. very efficiently in the single compartment, and a hydration pack in the other. Two liters in the sides, and a ton of small items in the long back compartment. I also purchased the belt compartments accessory where I shore my phone/wallet and the like. Very comfortable pack on the upward trails in Yosemite.

Dislikes

Colors offered; Missing a top cap, had to buy it separately.

The pack rides beautifully. The hip belt is wide and feels good. The pack material looks strong and looks like it will take a lot of punishment. The front part tapers making the bag wider at the bottom where I keep my sleeping bag, allowing more room for it to keep it's loft. I figure I'm paying 1.5 pounds for the more comfortable ride. Time and trail will tell if it's worth the extra weight. Great pack if you can fit gear and food. (More than a weeks worth might be difficult).

Dislikes

Not as advertised. It's 3.01 pounds on postage scale. Seems small. Body: 1875 cu in. (Front tapers wider at the bottom. Back is uniformly 9.5". Collar holds about 850 cu in.) Front pocket (actually sleeve) is 6.5" inches wide at the top and tapers to 7" at the bottom. I'd like to see them stuff in a wet rain fly. I'll have to sew my own front pocket that will add to the weight. Backpackers Cache bear won't go horizontally below the extension collar except at the pack's very bottom. Hydration sleeve has a zipper?
