Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60

Description

The Mariposa 60 litre backpack is ideal for lightweight backpacking trips where capacity is a top priority. Featuring seven built in pockets (two are easy access side pockets) and enough space in the main pocket to fit all your gear. It hits the sweet spot blend of toughness and weight.

50 DAYS VERDICT

A while ago, we mentioned to a well-travelled friend that we hoped to stock Gossamer Gear's tried and proven Mariposa 60 backpack. On hearing this, they pondered and slowly revealed it as their ‘pack crush’. Certainly, the first time we had heard a backpack described in such a way but completely relatable. Their crush proved a worthy one! Our test trialling ambassadors love the 7 extra pockets, overall comfort and balanced load carrying ability.
