Why Choose the Arc'teryx Granville 16 Backpack?
The Arc'teryx Granville 16 Backpack is a bulletproof 16L daypack designed for light hikes. The bag has a weather-resistant N400r-AC² ripstop fabric, which is durable and coated with nylon. I knew the moment I touched the material on this bag that whatever I had inside would be safe from the elements and on-trail scratches and scrapes. It features a stretch mesh laptop sleeve, padded shoulder straps, and a fairly breathable pack panel, making it comfortable to wear for a long time.

How I Use the Arc'teryx Granville 16 Backpack
- Hiking: The Arc'teryx Granville 16 is my go-to for short hikes. It's easily one of the most durable Arc'teryx backpacks I own; I don't see anything taking it down. It doesn't get dirty quickly. It has a ton of interior space that can easily hold water, jackets, microspikes, and everything else needed for a short hike. Although it lacks water bottle pockets, the quick-access zip on the side is convenient for grabbing water without needing to open the main compartment.
- Travel: Lightweight and rugged, the Arc'teryx Granville 16 is my go-to for travel as my 2nd carry-on, with my Micon 32 being the first. I keep my things organized inside the Granville with the help of my Index Organizer.
