From Backcountry.com:
"When you're ice or alpine climbing, ounces can be the difference between success and failure. Shave weight and cover more ground with the Granite Gear Alpine Vapor Backpack. Built for the technical winter climber, this bag weighs in at an incredibly light 2lb 10oz and can easily carry everything you need for a multi-day alpine assault. How did Granite Gear pull it off? They kept the features that you need and got rid of everything else. This bag has two tool loops, crampon straps, gear loops on the waist-belt, and that's it. No panel access, no zippers, not even a lid. If you're the type of climber who takes a knife to all your gear before it ever sees a day in the mountains, then you should carry your alpine tools and sawed-off toothbrush in the Alpine Vapor."

From REI:
"Based on the award-winning Vapor Trail, the Alpine version is a beefed up pack in a lightweight package specifically for mountaineering and climbing. This ultralight pack weighs in at just under 3 pounds and can handle enough gear for fast and light alpine ascents. Flexible HDPE plastic frame sheet with soft foam padding and padded ergonomic harness offers support for loads of 30 pounds or less. Top-loading pack design omits a lid and uses a drawcord lock to close extension collar, and an adjustable buckle strap to compress and secure the load. Durastretch side pockets are large enough for quart water bottles or fuel bottles and do not snag on brush. Hypalon® front crampon patch lets you lash on crampons, axe or other sharp items. Dual ice axe loops and tool loops on belt for strapping on gear and trekking poles. Side compression straps double as extra lash points for tent poles, camp trowel or trekking poles. Pack body is a high-tenacity 210-denier Cordura® nylon and high-tenacity 420-denier Cordura nylon on the bottom to stand up to the rocks. Hydration-compatible design features reservoir pocket and drink tube exit port for on-the-go hydration (reservoir sold separately)."

The Alpine Vapor no longer has the thin minimalist suspension that made it so ideal for many alpine uses."
