The Crown is the pack to try before you spend Atmos money. If 30 pounds hurts in the shop, a more padded harness is worth the cash. If your load lives under that, this is enough pack. The Crown3 replaced the Crown2. Granite Gear rates it to 35 lb with the frame sheet in, and you can take the sheet out for loads under 25 lb.

Who should buy it. Hikers building a first serious kit on a budget.

Best for. Budget framed packs for a week of food

Standout limitation. Hip belt is less plush
