The LiteAF is made in the USA. I don’t know about the gossamer gear. Checked the website, not easily found.

GG packs are handmade in Vietnam, according to the sewn on label under the lid flap, just above the water bladder webbing loop.

While hiking the Colorado Trail, a hiker had a GG had a big tare in the bottom of his pack. My LiteAF showed no wear after 3 weeks on trial.

We definitely think the LiteAF will be more durable in the long run! That fabric is bomb-proof!

FYI The ultra material doesn’t crinkle.

Would be cool to see a direct comparison between the old vs new GG Gorilla! Nice vid! Also is the small "headphone pocket" on the top of the GG Gorilla seperate from the main pack or does it lead into it?

[@Terradrift]

We'll have to get our hands on the new one to test! But the zipper pocket on the lid of the GG is totally separate from the main pocket.

I would like to see a rewiew on the new gg gorilla😊.

Could the female (? - the one starting with the GG pack) be more off-putting? A review is meant to be about the gear, NOT the person reviewing it. Get off stage, stop mugging for the camera, and start focusing on the qualities of the pack.
