Granite Gear Crown 3 60 Women’s
Earning Outside Magazine’s “Most Customizable” Backpack in the Summer Buyer’s Guide, Granite Gear Crown 3 60 is an ultralight yet ultra-comfortable multi-day pack. Building off the successes of the Crown 2, the Crown 3 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 (which converts into a chest pack or lumbar pack in conjunction with the hip belt), all while weighing in at 1,09 kg (regular torso without lid). For ultralight loads, the frame sheet can be removed lowering the weight to 900 grams.
The Crown 3 60L Women’s has a fixed, non-adjustable torso length that is offered in 2 torso sizes.

The Vapor Current Mark 3 compression molded polyethylene frame sheet has molded reinforcement channels and die-cut holes to minimize weight without sacrificing structural integrity. The frame works in combination with the molded foam back panel with ventilation channels to support an efficient load transfer of 15 kg comfortably. The frame sheet is fully removable for weight savings when the base weight of the pack doesn’t call for it.
New for the Crown 3 is the optional add-on capability of reinforcing the frame sheet with a U-shaped aluminum stay for treks that do require base weights north of 15 kg (sold separately).
