Earning Outside Magazine's "Most Customizable" Backpack in the Summer Buyer's Guide. Granite Gear Crown3 60 is an ultralight yet ultra-comfortable multi-day pack. Building off the successes of the Crown2, the Crown3 60 boasts our fully adjustable Re-Fit hip belt, our new and innovative Vapor Current Mark 3 compression molded PE frame sheet with molded foam back panel, and removable lid, all while weighing in at 2.4lbs (regular torso without lid). The undyed colorway is our next step in our sustainability initiative. By skipping the color dying process on the fabrics, hardware and webbing, the packs water waste is reduced by 55%. 98% of materials used on the pack are undyed.

Fabrics: 100D Robic nylon, 210D Robic custom nylon Weight: 2.4 Lb Stripped Weight: 2 Lb Capacity: 60 L Lid Chest Pack: Unclip and flip the lid orientation and it becomes a chest pack perfect for keeping items quickly accessible. Lid Organization: A stretch mesh lid divider pocket line the bottom of the lid. Keep those important items at reach and organized! PE Frame Sheet & Add-On Aluminum Stay The revamped Vapor Current compression molded polyethylene frame sheet has molded reinforcement channels and die-cut holes to minimize weight and increase ventilation without sacrificing structural integrity. The separately sold add-on reinforces the frame with a U-shaped aluminum stay for treks that require base weights north of 35lbs. Plush Dual Density Back Panel We’ve made the foams more plush for a more comfortable ride. The chevron designs encourage air flow for ventilation. Re-Fit Waist Belt Fully adjustable, belt ranging from 26-42” waists on the unisex and from 24-40” on the women’s fit. Screen printed instructions help to draw attention to pack-fitting feature. Bottom Customization Bottom webbing loops let you customize your carry. Weave cord through to carry bulky items. Shoulder Strap Water Carry A pairing of elastic loops helps keep hydration close on-hand. Loop the top and bottom and pull the cord taught to lock the bottom in place. Both shoulder straps have a pair! Reflective 3M Crown Icon The icon reflects light for high visibility at night. Review: Great pack - must have the optional stay - This actually turned out to be a great bag. However it does have some pros and cons. Also the pack overall (regardless of weight) works noticeably better with the aluminium stay added to the frame (sold separately). Pros: Love the large side pockets - they are great. Love the large mesh pocket - fantastic. The roll top closure at the top also works well and allows you to overload the bag well past 60l if necessary (like when adding extra gear for winter). The removable brain also functions well and can be used as a chest or belt pack providing dual purposing. Cons: The straps are not as comfortable or robust as other more traditional packs for heavier loads. Utilizes two chest straps, however you will need to remove the top one because even at the lowest position it is a throat strap that strangles you. At around 20 lbs you can feel the frame flex some as you walk which causes some side to side movement if your gear is not well balanced in the pack (the stay seems to fix this - it is a must add-on) For the price of this bag the aluminium stay should be included (it really is not optional for best function) and should not be a $17 add-on with an additional $13 of shipping tacked on). So, overall (with the stay, again this really isn't optional) this is a very versatile bag and can handle alot of gear if necessary. Weight and handling is somewhat limited without the stay, and if you want to use it without the frame sheet - save your money and just get a cheap AliExpress pack. Update: Having put quite a few miles on this pack at this point, I can say that it excels in the 30 lbs to 40 lbs range. The pack is really comfortable in this range. I have used it with as much as 42 lbs and works fine for the occasion overload. However if you wish to consistently take 41+ lbs of gear, then a beefier, heavier bag may be in order. Otherwise, still a fantastic pack. Review: Great quality - Good quality material. Holds a lot of items.

Light weight ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pack *by J***D on July 20, 2025* My first attempt at an ultralight pack. Took it for a handful of training hikes and then a 3 day trip. Definitely has less padding than I’m used to in the hip belt, but it’s a well thought out pack. Plenty of space and the right amount of pockets. I removed the lid and kept the weight just under 30lbs. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/449884532-crown-3-backpack](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/449884532-crown-3-backpack) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-06-09*
