Virga 2 (54L) by Granite Gear

Ships in 1-2 business days | Based in Two Harbors, MN | Est. 1986

This perennial frameless favorite of ultralight backpackers gets a serious update and a reduction in weight! As in redesigned shoulder straps, a true “roll top” closure to keep out the elements, a mesh pocket in front and a padded hip belt. There are also some weight saving tweaks -10mm rather than 1″ webbing that keep the weight below the original version even with the added features! The end result: a more
comfortable Virga that still defines ultralight and weighs 2oz less than its predecessor.

Part of the way Granite Gear achieves the phenomenally light weights of the Virga series packs is by not utilizing a framesheet or stays. The load itself functions as the pack’s suspension. The nylon shell gains support and rigidity from your sleeping pad”simply drop in a rolled pad and let it uncoil to push against the bag, and pack your gear inside the roll. Both versions of the Virga have nicely padded shoulder straps. The belt on Virga 2 (54 Liter) has padded sections on the sides for added comfort without a lot of added weight. The Virga 26 (26 Liter) features webbing belt for load stabilization.
