The Gossamer Gear range of backpacks are now available in the UK from backpackinglight.co.uk and this includes the Ultralight Gorilla backpack. One for lightweight backpackers everywhere.
Where does the Gorilla sit in the Gossamer Gear stable? With a capacity of 39 + 6 lt it is ideally suited for weekend trips, day hikes and short haul flights.
If the Mariposa is just too big for your needs, and the G4 ‘too light’, but you want all the same simple features (bar a couple of changes) then this pack could be ideal.
Whereas the Mariposa has one large pocket on one side and two on the other (the lower being reachable when walking) this has a one lower pocket on each side for easy access of a bottle, food or map stashed away.
They both share a large mesh front pocket, ideal when airing wet clothing or shelter.
The Mariposa and Gorilla both come with removable back stay and Sitlight mat, so if you wanted to travel abroad and pack this into your luggage it is easy.
Simply pick up a cheap sleeping may and cut it to size at your destination in you need padding. There are so many uses for this size of pack, that I’m sure will appeal to many hikers.
Without doubt, another successful pack from one of the most popular outdoor manufacturers available today. Made to high standards for those who appreciate the design and workmanship which goes into this specialist area of the outdoor industry.
