I am looking to sell or trade a tactical style pack that I have had for a couple years. If you are not aware the granite gear tactical packs have a cult following for a couple of reasons. They are made in the USA, made of durable materials and are very comfortable and capable.
I modified this pack a couple years ago for hunting.
The modifications are:
1. Added two 23" aluminum stays (3/16" x 3/4" 6061) to the frame adding much more vertical rigidity. These are removable and easy to swap.
2. Added horizontal compression straps and Triple Aught Design transporter tail. The pack did not have any stock compression, and this adds the ability to add gear between the pack and tail. The transporter tail also converts into a weapon sling for hands free carry. All these parts are removable and easily swapped on and off.
3. The center divider has been removed to make this one large main compartment, with two zipper access. There is a "radio pouch" right against the back of the pack that can be used for a hydration bladder. The pouch has its own compression and can also be used to hold a rear quarter of a deer, it will not fit an elk quarter. The second zipper allows for the quarter to extend vertically out of the pack without opening the whole pack and still keeping things secure.
The pack has side release buckles on the shoulder straps. The sternum strap is adjustable vertically on the shoulder straps. The shoulder straps can be used in two configurations. The stock configuration is a low profile and wide design that transfers the weight very well. There is also an additional pad for both shoulder straps that attach with hook and loop adding about 3/8" of more padding. I found this unnecessary but it's there if you like a lot of padding. The hipbelt is removable and does not have forward assist. Aside from the main compartment there is one flat pocket on the front of the pack. There is also an open mesh pocket on the reverse side of the front flap. As you can see there is pals webbing all over this pack. There is lots of real estate for accessories. All the straps have webbing keepers to keep the excess straps under control.
This pack is in good shape. It is used and probably 10 years old. There was a hole on the bottom front that I repaired. I packed out an entire whitetail doe a couple years ago, just field dresses her and folded her up onto the pack for a half mile pack out. I wouldn't say it was comfortable but this pack can handle the weight.
I would trade this for a Tru Ball Blade Pro medium, or maybe another quality thumb release.
I would sell $200 tyd.
Let me know if you have any questions. I have been a member of this forum for a long time, buy with confidence.
