Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone Backpack won Backpacker Magazine's "Editor's Choice" award in 2003 for best ultralight pack, and is still extremely relevant today.

This full-suspension, 3800 cubic inch pack weighs less than 3 lbs and allows you to carry 40-pound loads in amazing comfort, thanks to the 3D molded composite Tepex® frame and ergonomically designed harness system. The pack is fully hydration compatible with an internal sleeve and port.

Are you the backpacker who has made a conscious decision to reduce your pack weight, but you still like a storm & bug proof shelter? Do you still want to cook up some gourmet cuisine and maybe have a couple shots of your favorite libation at the end of a long day? If 35 to 40 pounds just seems to be as light as you can get, this is your pack.
