Product Highlights
Winner of a Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Award in 2003, the Granite Gear Vapor Trail is a long-time favorite of ultralight-favoring Appalachian Trail thru-hikers. An excellent balance of weight and performance, the Vapor Trail comfortably hauls loads of up to 30 pounds while weighing in at right around 2 pounds.
The Vapor Trail is available in three torso sizes. The packbag on the Regular (torso offers 3600 cubic inches of storage capacity and the Short and Long torso sizes offer 3300 and 3900 cubic inches, respectively. Lending extreme versatility, a well-designed external compression strap system allows you to securely cinch down gear. The Vapor Trail does not have a traditional lid. An extendible spindrift collar protects the interior of the Vapor Trail's large single compartment. The collar rolls down and cinches closed with two overlapping, integrated buckle straps that accommodate loads of varying sizes.
Made of lightweight, durable 210d Cordura and 70d Cordura/Rip-Stop fabrics, the Vapor Trail offers rugged durability without weighing you down. A padded foam backpanel cushions the load of the Vapor Trail against your back. Dual-density padding on the shoulder straps and hipbelt enhances comfort and ensures proper fit. A sliding sternum strap and load-lifter straps allow you to make on-the-go adjustments.
To guarantee that the Vapor Trail fits like a glove, Granite Gear offers swappable gender-specific hipbelts. The S hipbelt fits waists ranging from 26”-30”, the M hipbelt fits waists ranging from 30”-34” and the L hipbelt fits waists ranging from 34”-38”.
Two large elastic pockets on either side of the Vapor Trail keep water bottles or other gear close at hand. A built-in tube exit port and a narrow lined internal pocket that accommodates most hydration bladders (not included) make the Vapor Trail hydration compatible. The bladder pocket includes a convenient bungee cord compression system so reservoirs remain securely in place. The external compression system provides numerous places to lash additional gear to the outside of the Vapor Trail.
The Granite Gear Vapor Trail is available in Short (15"-18"), Regular (18"-21") and Long (21"-25") torso lengths and your choice of Sky or Sage color options.
