ARC'TERYX GRANVILLE 16 / A New Daypack that Inherits the Quality of that Masterpiece. - BPG_207 

How so? I'm on the verge of getting this or an Arro

@@ddot9182 the old version has a quick access side pocket which i liked very much. Has a slicker material oppose to the new rough matted material. Center Logo looks better as well on the old.

Thanks for pointing this out. Almost pulled the trigger on the new model with) in purple. Guess I will have to stick with my old black model

My 2021 MPB 16” fits inside the laptop sleeve

You apparently had the older version. They don’t make this one in green. This one’s alright for hikes in the rain etc but I agree. You can buy a much lighter waterproof dyneema backpack for the same price

Why is it a nightmare to use?

​@@carlosgraterol it was pain to handle, it has that weird egg shape that's not stable and it would roll away from me wherever I'd put it down. Quickly I learned to appreciate bags that stand up. The material so sturdy, which is nice but , it's also hard and slippery. there's no way to pick it up with one hand cause that fabric doesn't crease. Grab handles on sides would have made a world of difference but why bother. Where it is not slippery is inside however. Inner lining is this weird rubbery fabric that makes everything stick to it, it snags on everything you want to put in our take And shoulder straps: they were thin and stretchy. Like who puts stretchy elastic straps on a backpack? It's a small light pack and it was not comfortable . It was all weird mix and as soon the wow factor of the shiny new expensive pack went. I found myself really didn't want to use it. sold it. Don't get me wrong if your like packs, this is an easy one to impress you in a store Outer material is waterproof and tough, is something like xoac 42. . They could have made the best pack with same materials but it looks like designers never tried to actually use it.
