I love my Granite Gear Blaze 60 pack, except for one small thing. The side pockets have a small opening in the corner, to allow water to pass on through. But it isn’t really sufficient in a steady downpour. Water tends to pool in the pocket if there’s anything else in the pocket (maybe blocking the hole?). Then the moisture seeps through into the bottom of the pack. I was thinking about putting another drain hole in, but i don’t want to weaken the fabric too much or have it fray. Those of you with experience working with this fabric, any suggestions? The lower part of the pockets is the same as the pack body, 100D Robic with DWR.
I could go to a pack cover instead, but I don’t have any other issues in rain, so hate to have to carry one more thing.
