Gossamer Gear Mariposa vs Mammut Trion Spine 50 Pack - Men's

It helps me stand up straighter when I'm hiking and It also gives me some breathability as you can see a lot of my back is exposed You know can slip m...

very well constructed. This Spine 50 is hands down the most comfortable because of the way that the pack rides. The articulating belt makes getting up & over obstacles effortless - which is exactly what you'd hope for w/ a climbing pack

It's a 60 liter backpack from Gossamer Gear and I was able to use it this past weekend on a backpacking trip in north Georgia. I did 3 days and 25 mil...

I bought a used large Mariposa but find that when it's heavily loaded it hits my ass, no matter how I adjust it. I love those packs but haven't quite figured out the fit and I can't really return the used gear.

-It is bulky/heavy, (particularly shoulder and hip straps), I understand it's certainly not designed/marketed for true alpinists/climbers as we prioritize “fast and light”, but there are some features here(spine tech, full zipper access, durability, and Cool-factor, that I believe could really catch on, if lightened up and re-sized just a bit. Do it do it do it, please. :)

6 ounces—significantly less than the medium version of the Mariposa with a hipbelt. But with only three external pockets (none of which zip), the Arc Blast is limited in its organizational capacity, and we find that it doesn’t carry a load as well. If pack weight is your number one consideration, it’s hard to argue against the Arc Blast. But we give the overall edge to the Gossamer Gear Mariposa for its added carrying comfort, organization, and durability

This pack is well designed, well constructed, carries well and was easy to adjust to my shorter frame. BIG FAN!
