Reviewing My Long Distance Hiking Pack | Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60

[@susietopspin]

Hey Gabi. You know I love my Mariposa as well 😉. I was looking to replace it and contacted GG with some recommendations I thought they should know about and they responded that something was coming this year….. I’m praying it’s a water resistant fabric and slightly larger main pocket. Let’s see but for now I’m holding off on replacing. It really is so comfortable for me. Thanks and happy trails.🤘🏻🥾⛰️

That’s awesome to hear! I’m glad you contacted them with some recommendations! I may have to get the newer version as well if there’s some notable upgrades

[@sticktheeagle]

As I have been building my gear, I have been looking for lightweight without breaking the bank as well. Good balance!

[@gabicerrahikes]

Good luck!

Similar in weight and price and also fully equipped even with a mesh trampoline back: Check out the Osprey Eja/Exos 55 Pro.

Yeah, but the pockets on the hip belt SUCK, like really suck. The rest is great, but the hip pockets first don’t have a good zipper, have werid angles, have tension straps on them! And one doesn’t even close! It’s a deal breaker for most hikers sadly 😢

Nice video. You sound like a salesperson for Gossamer. BTW, I had recommended your videos to several women who are planning to thru hike the AT this year. Most had already watched them. You're getting a bigger audience. Get REI to sponsor your videos. Happy Trails. Good Luck, Rick

[@gabicerrahikes]

Thank you Rick! Much appreciated

Really great review Gabi, very through but not too long. Love your enthusiasm and rationale for why you chose this pack. Will be great to see more gear reviews from you. I bet you got some exciting plans for 2024.

[@gabicerrahikes]

Thank you so much! I have some super exciting plans yes!

[@beckyleheny8636]

That had to have been the best gear review I have ever seen! Well done!

[@gabicerrahikes]

Omg no way! But thank you so much Becky

[@beckyleheny8636]

@gabicerrahikes it's true!, and I have been around the sun many, many times

Best video i have watched so far on the Gossamer Gear Mariposa . Thank you!!!!

[@gabicerrahikes]

Wow, thanks! I’m so glad it was helpful

[@Paigebaby]

The bungee cord for hanging wet supplies is ingenious but I can’t find it on the gossamer site- just the trekking pole cord attachment. Any suggestions? Side note: My Flextail is also always going off 😂

[@gabicerrahikes]

Search up ‘shock compression cord set’ on GG and it should come up!

Hey Gabi, great review. Sounds like a fantastic backpack, very well thought out.

[@gabicerrahikes]

Hey, thanks!

[@frankjackson1918]

[@outdoorshoesofficial]

Great review, looking to maybe buy this pack...

[@gabicerrahikes]

Go for it! Try it out :)

[@ihikeporkies]

Nice review, Gabi.

[@gabicerrahikes]

Thank you!

[@davidm4436]

Will this pack work for shorter 3-4 day hikes too? Or to big?

[@gabicerrahikes]

Yes! You can cinch down the main body to make it smaller.
