"FREE! Cloud Cover Pack Fly - Medium With the purchase of A full featured pack for the Ultralight packer.The Latitude has the same frame and harness as the award winning Vapor Trail.The biggest difference being the front-loading feature.The zippered stretch panel can open from the top or bottom, allowing you .Free shipping!"

From Backcountry Outlet:
"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 GearX.com:
"Youre looking at a full-featured pack for the Ultralight packer."

"Great pack, carried everything I needed for an 8 day, 70 mile backpack trip. Took a while to get used to the front load feature of packing gear as I have used mainly top loaders.

Could be lightened a little by removing the extra portions of things that are not used."

"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)."
