Granite Gear Vapor Day Pack

I use the Vapor Day and like it a lot.

Do you have any specific questions?

If you're used to the Vapor Trail, you know what to expect.

Check out the spotlite review

I saw the review and have been eyeing the pack in the local outdoor retailer.

I have no specific questions, really, but I'm especially interested in any shortcomings or "if only" observations. As an example, the Vapor Day has created pass-through slots in the side pocket stretch mesh that resolved an "if only they had…" wish for the Vapor Trail pack mesh side pockets.

If any forum members have favorite day packs in the 2,000-2,400 cu. in. range that would offer adequate sizing for tall folks, I'd welcome suggestions for consideration.

I don't have any specific recommendations, but Granite Gear and Black Diamond are the only companies that I know of that offer multiple sizes in their daypacks.

I have given up finding the absolute perfect piece of gear. I try to buy Granite Gear when I can to support local business. I just picked up a White Lightning tarp. It is heavier than I wanted, but the other features / benefits were more important to me than the weight.

The spotlite review was pretty positive, without any major cons listed. If the Granite Gear Vapor Day meets most of your criteria and fits, go for it.
