Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Granville 20 Backpack

I used to have the old design before it fell apart and it was much better. The original had the entire top flap as a big pocket. It was great. The new one is really hard to open now and fill up. They changed the design so the top flap wants to stay closed. Better for rain maybe but is a pain if you want to fill it up with stuff. It keeps wanting to flop closed. Terrible design. Also the pocket is smaller and now part of the front main body. So if you fill the pack up, you can't really put much into the pocket anymore because you're fighting with the volume of the pack. I'm actually thinking of just selling it on Craigslist and looking for a different brand. It looks all cool and modern and minimalist, but it's function is terrible. I own a lot of Arctyeryx stuff and I've found the quality and design have really gone downhill the last few years. I'm going to start looking at another brands. Hope this helps. This pack gives me a headache. Seriously.
