Get a Custom Fit with Granite Gear’s New Lutsen Series

Granite Gear, award-winning backpack manufacturer, is debuting the lightweight Lutsen Series multi-day backpacks, which include the innovative and fully adjustable Re-Fit system. Backpackers can enjoy a fully custom fit with this highly technical and easily adjustable backpack, without sacrificing comfort or adding weight. Building upon Granite Gear’s ultralight designs, the three Lutsen packs range from a low 2.9 lbs to 3.1 lbs.

  

The Lutsen Series’ Re-Fit system utilizes a refined Air Current injection-molded polycarbonate frame sheet with a fully adjustable torso length and hip belt. Molded air channels work in combination with a dual-density molded foam back panel and durable stretch mesh that assists in the ventilation of heat and moisture, while providing comfort and support. To adjust the Re-Fit torso length or Re-Fit hip belt, backpackers simply use their hand to separate the hook and loop connection and then expand or contract to the appropriate size.   

“The Lutsen provides the comfort and fit advancements that hikers want, allowing them to quickly adjust to a perfect fit even when on the trail,” notes Granite Gear’s Senior Director of Design and Development, Michael Meyer.  “Besides the convenient ease of adjustability, the Lutsen series provides superior load-transfer capabilities to the shoulders and hips. With the Re-Fit system, hikers will be able to go farther, more comfortably.”

The Lutsen 35 weighs 2.9 lbs, the Lusten 45 weighs 3.0 lbs, and Lutsen 55 weighs 3.1 lbs. All are available in 3 colorways. MSRP: 35L - $179.99, 45L - $199.99, 55L - $219.99.
