    Default Need Opinions about Granite Gear Lineloc Compression Packs

    I'd appreciate hearing from users of Granite Gear packs with lineloc compression systems, such as the Blaze A.C. 60 that use line instead of webbing. Like it, hate it?

    Thanks.

    roll tops do the job with less weight.

    I prefer the webbing to the line-loc. The cord digs in to things too much, and isn't as smooth operating as the webbing. Pretty minor gripe, I don't hate it, just prefer the webbing. I am concerned about long-term wear from the cord, which I won't be able to validate until the long term is over!

    Line-loc cords on my Blaze AC work fine.

    I have a 4 year old Escape AC 60 and I like the line loc system, but hate the plastic caps (pull caps?)on the ends of the lines. Some have come off, and those that I managed to find that had come undone, never seem to snap back together on the end of line. I ended up tying knots at the end of the lines that lost the caps.
