From Backcountry.com:
"Most lightweight packs are basically sacks with straps. At 2lb 10oz the Granite Gear Latitude Vapor Backpack rivals the weight of those no-fun, no-feature bags, but gives you easy access for ease of use and enjoyable travels. The ingenious panel access system can be opened from the top or bottom, allowing you to get to every inch of your pack, so you can quickly find your headlamp as the sun is setting. Internal compression straps keep your gear from moving around, and the stretchy zip panel lets you stuff the Vapor to the brim. The Latitude Vapor's frame and suspension system allow you to carry up to 30 pounds comfortably and it's the perfect size for day hikes or an ultralight weekend trip. Finally, a pack that lets you go light but doesn't take away all the features you want."

From CampSaver.com:
"FREE! Cloud Cover Pack Fly - Medium With the purchase of Latitude Vapor Pack 3800 cu in.Free shipping!"

From REI:
"For unparalleled ease of packing, this ultralight pack weighs under 3 pounds and can handle enough gear for weekend trips to thru-hikes! Flexible HDPE plastic frame sheet with soft foam padding and padded ergonomic harness offers enough support for loads up to 30 pounds. Dual-density foam lamination in backpanel and hipbelt effectively cushions the load and absorbs shock. Front access panel zips open on both sides from top to bottom, and an internal compression system keeps pack contents stable and in place. Full-length Durastretch (nylon/Lycra® spandex) middle panel stretches and gives with the contents of the pack. Durastretch side pockets are large enough for quart water bottles or fuel bottles and do not snag on brush. Front straps let you lash on camp chair, sleeping pad or other bulky items. Dual ice axe loops for strapping on tools and trekking poles. Side compression straps double as extra lash points for tent poles, camp trowel or trekking poles. Removable internal lid pocket clips into place while you're hiking, comes out when you make camp so your essentials can be easily moved into the tent. Pack body is a silicon-coated 70-denier ripstop nylon, backpanel and the arches are Rex Twill nylon/polyester blend."

"Good if gear is kept really light, but if, for whatever reason, you're in a position where you have to carry more weight, this pack is horrible. Even if not overloaded, this pack is not very durable.

From working at the local gear shop, I saw a number of Granite Gear packs came back because they were torn or stitching had blown out, some from being over-weighted, some from (claimed) normal use."

"I was in Boone, N. C. , several months ago skiing and I stumbled into the Mast General Store. Prior to leaving on the trip I had ordered a brand new Lowe Alpine Contour 60 hyperlite pack for my wife to use (while I was currently using an old, but still in great shape Lowe Alpine Voyageur 60)."
