Has anyone tried the Granite Gear Escape A.C. 60 or the Escape A.C. 60 Ki (women's version)?
I've really liked my Vapor Trail, but it's somewhat busted now. I had been considering the Meridian Vapor Ki for its top lid, but now I see they've come out with this new model with a brand new suspension.
As pluses, it looks like the Escape A.C. does not have compression straps over the water bottle pocket, its frame curves away from your back, and it will carry up to 35 pounds (while I almost never do that, it could come in handy from time to time...). As negatives, it's a bit heavier, and I have no idea how the suspension compares comfort-wise to the Vapor Trail suspension.
Anyone have any experience with this pack?
