Provided by Rock Creek Outfitters

The Nimbus Meridian Ultra-lightweight Backpack by Granite Gear has gotten rave reviews and is becoming a favorite in the backcountry. Designed as a top loader, but also made with a single vertical zipper front panel making it easier to gain access into your pack in order to grab those necessary items.

The hipbelt and framesheet are incredibly durable and stable compared to many other Ultra-lightweight packs, and the Meridian is highly adjustable with three inches of torso adjustment in both sizes.

Designed to go the long mile with the new innovative RiRi water resistant tooth zippers for the pack lid and the front access zipper.
Also, constructed with a reflective material on the daisy chains and on the shoulder straps, just in case you need to find your pack in the dark.

Take the top off to use the fanny pack with a preattached hipbelt , and go for your dayhike from camp.

With the Nimbus Meridian you get durability, easy access to the inside, versatility, and comfort - all in an ultralight trail pack.

Voted "Best all around lightweight backpack" by Backpacker Magazine.
