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

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

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

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 😂

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

Will this pack work for shorter 3-4 day hikes too? Or to big?
@gabicerrahikes5 ай бұрын
Yes! You can cinch down the main body to make it smaller.
