Granite Gear Escape A.C. 60
The Escape A.C. 60 won a Backpacker Magazine 2011 Editors’ Choice award. They said, “The Blaze has the ultimate combination of load control, cushioning, and durability – all in an astonishingly light package. The first thing our testers do with an ultralgiht pack is overload it. That’s when you see zippers blow or unpadded straps cause welts. But we heaped more than 40 pounds into the Blaze, and it asked for more. Credit the well-padded, contoured suspension.”
The EscapeA.C. 60 is built on our new Air Current suspension, using Cordura® brand fabrics, making for a comfortable ultralight pack that’s durable and loaded with features.
Escape A.C. suspension is the next step in the evolution of ultralight frame technology. It’s similar to our award winning Vapor suspension, however, instead of being a flat sheet with flat foam, the Air Current consists of a molded sheet and a molded foam pad. Not only does it fit the 3D contours of your back, and is engineered to flex with your movement, the Air Current suspension has integrated air channels, which makes for a cooler carry.
The Escape pack body is a top loader with a floating lid. On the pack’s front, there’s a large stash pocket with stretch panels that can accommodate much of the gear you need to have close at hand. The pack’s LineLoc compression system stabilizes the load without adding much weight. The side pockets are flat, covered with a stretch bottle pocket that’s angled perfectly for bottle access without taking off the pack.Specifications

What size hipbelt?
Our Ultralight Pack Belt is standard equipment on all of our Ultralight Packs (except Virga) and all packs with the Vapor Suspension. This belt is a “soft” belt. It has no plastic exoskeleton like our other belts. It is lighter and more comfortable when carrying smaller loads of 40 pounds or less. Although it is our simplest interchangeable belt, it still boasts the Pivot Point connection (except on Vapor Suspension Packs), hip stabilizers, dual density foam and a stretch woven fabric.
