I recently purchased a Granite Gear Vapor Trail pack and I noticed that the hip belt seems to slip down somewhat as I hiked. In my case, my base weight is about 16-17 lbs but I was hiking with a group so I was carrying an extra quart of water plus 2 – 25oz Foster’s Lagers. All in all I was probably carrying a total of 32 lbs.
Is my problem only that I was carrying more weight than the pack is designed for? Anyone who uses the Vapor Trail…How much total weight do you carry with this pack?
