I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Virga 2 50-58L Backpack

Description

Experience ultralight minimalism and unbeatable trail-ready comfort with the Granite Gear Virga 2 Backpack.

If you're an avid weekend backpacker who prioritizes packing light, this backpack is a game-changer. Weighing just over a pound, it offers the ultimate in minimalist design without compromising on comfort.

Weighing two ounces less than its predecessor, the Virga 2 is not only lighter, but also more comfortable. Its frameless suspension design, lidless roll top, lightweight fabric, and smaller-size, 10mm webbing straps contribute to valuable weight savings.

Despite its minimalistic nature, you can load the Virga 2 with up to 20 pounds of gear. Its padded shoulder straps, hip belt, sternum strap, and padding ensure optimal support and balance for your load. To keep your gear secure and prevent shifting, the wrap-around compression straps come into play.

Need more space? The backpack's extendable roll top provides extra room for your overflowing load. Once rolled down and buckled, it acts as a protective cover without the bulkiness of a lid.

Convenience is key with the Virga 2. It features a large stretch mesh front pocket, perfect for quick access to essential items, as well as stretch side pockets for additional storage. The backpack also includes two tool loops on the back for attaching any necessary tools. Plus, with an internal hanger for your hydration reservoir and a designated port for the drinking tube, staying hydrated on the trail has never been easier.

Constructed with durable Cordura nylon fabric and extra-durable reinforced sections, the backpack is built to withstand the rigors of countless wild adventures.
