Granite Gear invites moms and dads to check out its selection of packs that can easily go from camp to campus – blurring the line between what’s for school and what’s everything else outside. Durable, versatile, and “tougher than granite”, Granite Gear bags will allow students to excel in the classroom, all the way out into the great outdoors.
Conceived by two buddies on a camping trip in the late 1980s, Granite Gear traces its humble beginnings back to the placid network of wild waterways etched through the arctic forest that make up the Boundary Waters between Minnesota and Ontario. Today, Granite Gear has grown into an internationally-respected brand that continues to gain a cultish following for its award-winning backpacks and accessories.
As a true blue outdoor brand, Granite Gear constantly sets out to design and engineer the best all-around packs imaginable. The result? An ever-expanding line of products that are built to withstand the earth’s harshest environments – including the everyday wear and tear that may result from the countless whimsical adventures of the most pro-active kids!
All-Weather Backpacker
Perfect for the erratic weather in the tropics, the Champ backpack ensures that belongings are kept safe and dry at all times! Made with Repelaweave and Taurpalite fabric, the Champ is both water-repellant and water-resistant. Furthermore, it is armed with a Barrier-zippered, a water-repellant feature; tricot-lined pockets for electronics; a protective laptop sleeve; a built-in organizer; and two external stretch mesh hydration pockets for added protection for electronics. Plus, it’s tall and slim profile allows one to get the most out of the bag’s multi-compartment design. The Champ comes in Flint and Petal.
Mommy Says:
Backpack is amazingly comfortable to carry and wear at the back. The material is lightweight and the foams beneath the layers serve as cushion. The neon pink and green colors of Petal Champ are so pretty and luminous and make it easier for moms and kids to find their bags on camping nights or after school hours when school bags are stacked up on waiting areas.
Super Transformer
Made to get one from point A to B without having to lift a thing, the Haulsted trolley features two rugged wheels and an aircraft grade aluminum pull handle. And once the situation calls for it, the Haulsted turns into an ergonomic backpack with its high-density shoulder harness tucked cleverly behind its padded back panel!
At 33 liters, the 2-in1 Haulsted pack features several specialized compartments to help keep things safe and organized. These include a multi-pocket organizer for smaller things like pens, pencils, and erasers, while the main compartment has a padded Gear-Tec laptop sleeve that fits laptops of up to 15.5 inches. Over at the front, the pack has an easily accessible Tricot line stash pocket with water-resistant Barrier zipper to keep one’s belongings dry and scratch-free. To seal the deal on this super trolley, the pack is constructed with Taurpalite and Repelaweave water-repellant technologies – all in all offering a perfect balance between weather protection, weight, and durability. The Haulsted is available in Black, Gooseberry, and Purple Biscayne, and Midnight Blue.
Mommy Says:
This is a super useful trolley bag which can be used in school, in traveling outdoors with the family, or as a hand luggage when traveling overseas. You don’t have to buy multiple bags anymore. Like the Champ, it’s very durable and yet comfortable to carry at the back. The trolley wheels slide smoothly and the bag stays upright even you put heavy loads inside. We love the specialized compartments which help better in organizing the kids school supplies or travel necessities. Favorite color is the black one, which is cool to carry either by girls or boys, by moms or dads.
