Why We Like The Blaze 60L Backpack
If you're looking for a reliable go-to pack for any and all of your extended trips on the trail, look no further than the Granite Gear Blaze 60L Backpack. This pack is about as well-rounded as it gets, offering a comfortable and fully customized carry system, a super durable construction, and a lightweight design to ensure that you won't have any extra weight with you when you're trudging those last few miles into camp. It has multiple adjustment points to ensure that your carry is always as comfortable as possible, including both height and hipbelt adjustment systems to keep your fit precise and anatomically correct. The Air Current frame helps to keep you cool on warmer summer hikes, and compression straps on the side help you pull your load in for greater stability.

Awesome Pack

Backcountry got this item packed, shipped and delivered within 2 days of me ordering which I couldn’t be happier about. Haven’t got to bring this pack out just yet, but I can tell it’s a beast, the adjustable hip belt and shoulder straps are super convenient and easy to use. It’s got a lot of storage and the bag is very well made. I’ve also heard the customer service regarding their lifetime warranty is good as well which is reassuring to hear.

After using an Osprey Atmos 65 for nearly a decade, I switched to the Granite Gear mainly because a friend of mine was getting into backpacking and I gave them the Osprey as an excuse to try a new pack. While the Osprey served me well, the Granite Gear seemingly fixes everything I disliked about it. (This review is based on several backpacking trips, including one where I did a 10 mile, 4,000 foot ascent in a single day.) Despite being 35 percent lighter without much of a supportive back panel compared to the Osprey, I don't feel any comfort is lost. In fact, the Osprey would always pinch my left shoulder no matter how much I tried to adjust it — it would always be sore at the end of a trip. The problem is gone with the Granite Gear. Other problems it fixes: The side pockets were too small and too shallow on the Osprey — my Nalgene bottles could pop out if something knocked against them. And it was especially hard to put bottles pack in them when the pack was on my back — I could never easily reach my arms back there. None of that is the case with the Granite Gear — the pockets are luxuriously big and deep. Another annoyance with the Osprey was that the hip pouches were too shallow, and when the hip belt was pulled tight around my waste they could be difficult to open and close. Problem again solved on the Granite Gear. Finally, I love that the bag is covered in compression straps — really well thought out. So far I've been very happy with the Granite Gear. Highly recommend.

Very good backpack

I got to use the pack for an overnight stop. Plenty of room for all the necessary gear and any additional stuff. Only feedback would be to have a lighter coloured interior to make it a bit easier locating things in the dark.

Bought this for my son to do philmont in 2025. He's done some training hikes and overnights so far. Carries load well, plenty of room, very adjustable, lightweight, sturdy, and very versatile with the daypack feature and lashing options. Only one minor 'flaw' is on the black backpack all the buckles and straps are black which just all blend together making it tough to know what goes where. Fairly minor but bit of a nuisance. Regardless, I highly recommend.

Really nice all-around pack

Pack fits great once properly adjusted, and carries weight like a champ. Stretchy material allows for cramming in a little extra. Nice and light for a 60L pack. Happy camper.

Performs like a pack twice its weight

It's new to me and I've used it for one day hike and one multiday trip (3 nights). So far, I've been very happy. It's not light enough to be a true ultralight (ie close to 3 lbs not < 2) but it's far more comfortable than a true ultralight and far more capable with lots of features those don't have. Actually in terms of comfort and features it rivals many packs at 5+ lbs. The waist belt is very comfortable. The straps adjust to fit nicely. AT 6'1" & 175 lbs I'm just between the regular and tall size, I went with regular and it fits well. I really like the adjustability of the waist strap, it actually gets thin enough for me. The side pockets are easy to reach while walking. The removable top was handy for a quick summit side jaunt. Overall I was very impressed.

Great, Simple Bag
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
This is a good sized pack that handles weight well with several adjustment areas to customize fit. It does lack many external pockets as the design is too maximize the size of the main compartment. There are numerous straps to cinch everything down in many places and at different angles so your gear will stay put and not rattle around whether it's inside the main compartment, in the side pockets, it even lashed outside. I do worry about the extensive use of spandex and how it will hold up to long term deep backcountry use, but it's completely unscathed after one such trip of 3 days and 2 nights traversing both on and off trail segments. Note the pack can get quite tall if you use the full volume and the top compartment, especially if you set it up with the straps a little lower. Unless you have a long torso, it can easily extend to the top of your head or beyond meaning you'll need to be careful ducking under things. All in all, is recommend this bag to someone looking for a reasonably lightweight pack with high volume and good weight handling. If long term disability become an issue, I'll amend this review.

Light weight but doesn't hold much gear
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
If you need to fit a sleeping bag inside, not the bag for you. Took up 70% of the available interior space. Not sure that the few ounces saved in weight are worth the lack of space/lack of gear attachments.

Not 3 lbs

This pack is advertised as weighing 3 lbs but actually weighs 3 lbs 11 oz. I suggest anyone buying it keep that in mind.
