GOSSAMER GEAR Gorilla 50 - is a top loading backpack with a total capacity of 50 liters (including extension collar), with 32 liters of space in the main compartment and the rest divided among the pack’s other pockets.
According to Outdoor Gear Lab’s Editor’s Choice it is the best mid-volume light backpack. Its versatility, durability and comfort make it the best weekend companion you’ll ever have. Also works on longer trips and through hikes with itineraries including grocery/laundry opportunities.
The main compartment features an internal hydration sleeve to hold a hydration pack with a hang loop at the top for securing it and two hydration ports located above both shoulder straps to let you route the drinking hose over either shoulder.
It is made of Robic nylon fabric. 100D Robic nylon is used for the main pack and thicker more durable and abrasion-resistant 200D Robic nylon in critical areas - bottom of the pack and the side pockets. Robic fabric is waterproof and sheds water well in rain, but the backpack is not completely waterproof and leak at the seams which are not sealed, so we recommend to use waterproof stuff sacks or line the pack with the plastic bag to protect your gear against rain and moisture.
How to Attach Hiking Poles to Your Mariposa? For attaching trekking poles hiking poles, an umbrella or other gear to your pack you can use Lightrek Pack Bungee Attachment (sold separately).

Before using a new backpack, you need to attach a hip belt. Please insert the hip belt in the back mesh sleeve and fasten at the velcro square at the base of the pack. The inner stay of the backpack must be inserted into hip belt to avoid damage of the backpack. For better illustration, please watch video HERE.
If you decide to not use the hipbelt you should not use the inner stay.
