I bought one of these new packs directly from Granite Gear in Minnesota. For the last three years I have used a Granite Gear Nimbus Meridian, which weighed 3lbs 8oz with the lid. It was a good pack, and it fit me well, but as I progressed towards a lighter backpacking style, I wanted a lighter pack. So I got the Crown V.C. which weights 2lbs 2oz in regular.
The sizing may cause some people concern as the regular is listed for torso length of 18-21 and the large for torso lengths of 21-25. There is an overlap with the 21 torso size. A lot of people have a torso length of 21, so which size do you get? I am 6 ft 190 lbs with a torso length of 20 or 21 depending on who is doing the measuring. Granite Gear recommended the regular for me, which I ordered. I have used it on a 3 day backpacking trip, and it seems to fit me well, even better than the Meridian. I like this pack a lot. Does anyone else have this pack, and if so, what are your impressions. Did you have any fit issues?
