Granite Gear Shipping Policy

In almost all cases, your order will ship within three business days. If you need your gear sooner than this, please use one of our many online retailers that offer expedited shipping options. We are only able to ship to addresses within the US. We also do not ship orders to known or suspected freight forwarders.

How does Granite Gear measure backpack capacity?

Granite Gear measures pack capacity using a method approved by the American Standard for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Most manufacturers in the outdoor industry use this protocol. Small plastic balls (the diameter is about that of a dime) are loaded into the pack until it is full. Then the balls are poured out into a calibrated drum to determine the volume of the pack.

The packs are filled up to the top of body, but the expansion collar at the top of the pack is not included in the measurement. Outside pockets are also not included.

How can I clean my backpack?

To clean your pack, first check all pockets to make sure the pack is empty. Submerge your pack in a bathtub or container big enough for the pack. Using a mild detergent, soak the pack for a good hour in lukewarm water. You are welcome to use a soft brush or cloth to scrub off any marks. Rinse thoroughly. To dry, simply hang it up and let it air dry. If drying outside we recommend doing this in a shaded area.
