Backpacks

A backpack needs to fit your body just like your shoe needs to fit your foot. That is why when you purchase a Granite Gear backpack, you need to have your measurments ready.

In fitting a backpack, you need to know your torso length and your waist size. Your torso length is determined from measuring the length in inches from the C7 Vertebra to the Hip Crest. You also need to know your width size for the belt, which is the same thing as the width size for your pants.

Granite Gear backpacks are known for thier comfort, durability, and versatility. They are not your low cost option; however, they are worth every penny of it.
