From Campmor:
"The Nimbus Meridian offers the rare combination of durability, convenience, versatility and comfort in an ultralight trail pack. Top loading with a floating lid that removes for a hip pack Single vertical zipper front access panel Fully padded hipbelt Hydration compatible Reflective material on daisy chains for night visibility 3D Tepex Framesheet technology Dual density backpanel with EVA foam offers cool cushioning across the entire back Vapor Suspension Water resistant tooth zippers"

From Backcountry.com:
"When Justin "Trauma" Lichter told Granite Gear he needed a pack for 10,000miles of hiking, they made him the 3800cu inch Nimbus Meridian Backpack. Though it has enough space for a comfortable weekend trip, this pack is designed to be loaded with ultralight gear and taken on a weeklong (or longer) hike. The 3lb 8oz Nimbus Meridian Backpack's composite Tepex frame easily supports 40 pounds of gear. Granite Gear also gave it a lid that converts to a lumbar pack for short hikes from camp, and they made it hydration compatible to keep the H2O ready all day."

"The Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian is THE backpack to own if you are thinking of going lighter and going longer. There are too many details too cover, but I will do my best.

First, the pack is constructed beautifully. All of the seams on my pack are stitched perfectly and extremely strong."

"I have taken this pack on three separate trips now, with an average pack weight of 21 lbs before water (around 30 lbs with water). The only thing I can say about this pack is. . . IT ROCKS!!!

I have hiked over 10 miles per day through some hilly (although not mountainous) South MS terrain."

"Great ultralight pack! I recently used this on a 16 mile trip on the AT in Tennessee and it performed flawlessly. Total weight carried (food and water included) was 30 pounds, as we were planning on a longer trip but had to cut it short due to injury."
