A streamlined version of the beloved Crown2 60, the Granite Gear Crown2 38 is built especially for the truly ounce-counting thru-hiker or backpacker looking to save weight without completely sacrificing carrying comfort. It's also small enough to double as a day pack.
Equipped with Granite Gear's VC Mark 2 Frame System, the pack employs a compression molded polypropylene framesheet, a molded foam backpanel, and an overlay of durable, laminated mesh to effectively carry weight, provide load stability, and deliver ventilation to help keep you cool. Despite its lightweight design, the pack comfortably carries up to 35 pounds. Padded shoulder straps and a padded hipbelt that adjusts to fit 26"-42" waists enhance comfort and stability. NOTE: The one-size pack has a fixed suspension that best fits 18"-21" torso lengths. An adjustable sternum strap and load-lifter straps provide fine-tuned fit adjustment.
The top-loading 2320 cubic inch-capacity packbag is accessed through a wide-opening roll-top entry. A top lid protects additional storage and can be removed entirely to save on weight. Lightweight compression straps let you cinch down the packbag to keep contents safely stowed. A large front shove-it pocket serves as an additional storage space and twin side mesh pockets are perfect for water bottles or other gear. Large zippered hipbelt pockets keep valuables and essentials close at hand.
The Granite Gear Crown2 38 internal frame backpack is available in your choice of color options.
