I picked up the Granite Gear Blaze 60 because it's just a hair over three pounds yet it can carry up to 50 pounds. Most ultralight backpacks tap out when the load hits between 30 and 35 pounds. I carry a lot of camera gear with me to shoot for my business when I go into the wild so I needed something light but stout.

This is just an initial overview of some of the features of this pack. I'll be taking it backpacking on an early fall trip in the mountains close to home. I should be hitting close to the max 50 pounds so i'm excited to test out the carry comfort and I sure hope it's good because I'm tired of having an aching back and shoulders.

This pack represents the best of the best for me personally. Yes, it could be lighter, but it's light enough. The feature set looks excellent and it should prove to be extremely usable. I love the huge bottle pockets on the side and all the attachment points. After shooting this video I decided that I will cary one portion of my tent in a bottle pocket and strap my tripod on to the front.

I will do a more in depth review of the pack once I've used it extensively.
