Granite Gear Jalapeno 35 Litre Multi-Activity Pack
The Jalapeno 35 is a fully featured daypack that has enough room for any day or overnight hike. A molded internal framesheet keeps heavier loads secure to your back.
An assortment of pockets for iPods, sunglasses, snacks, and helmets are sure to keep you organized. If you get caught in inclement weather you can deploy the built in rainfly, located at the bottom of the pack.
Our Verdict
A tough pack, well made, has a huge number of features to get to grips with. Straight out of the packaging we love the styling and picked up straight away on the long very supportive hipbelt, so often on packs of this category the hipbelt is either simply webbing or have every short wings. The Jalapeno will therefore support the weight on the hips much better than these other packs.
The new harness from Granite Gear is really interesting - it looks an behaves like a close fitting padded back panel - but actually its curved and sits quite well off the back - in addition the stippled nature of the padding makes it feel 'airy'. We love it - Granite Gear seem to have achieved a close fitting pack which vents very well - Nirvana!
The hip belt pockets are stretch mesh and the integrated cover is bright yellow.
Counting the hip pockets, the side pockets and the pocket that contains the rain cover the total pockets and compartments comes to 10, including one thats padded and access fron the top - intended for goggles/glasses. So there's no reason not to be organised and a real danger of not being able to find what you want!
