Great bag! Love the laptop pocket, I still confuse the two other large compartments but I just noticed one set of zippers have lanyards so now I can tell them apart- clever work, Dakine! I like the admin pocket a lot and water bottle pouches. Also the sunglasses pouch where I can keep masks and glasses easy to find/access. I’ve worn it just a few times but comfortable to wear. I like it a lot! They only had black when I ordered- I might have chosen a diff color but it’s still really wonderful

 I’ve worn it just a few times but comfortable to wear. I like it a lot! They only had black when I ordered- I might have chosen a diff color but it’s still really wonderful.

After lots of research, this is the best bag for me!

i love this backpack but just like the last one I got one of the chest straps came off the first time i put it on for that is why i gave it 4 stars but other then that is perfect i do a lot of urban hiking it has a lot of pockets and lots of space the the material it is made from feels great I would tell people to get this bag for sure..

i love this backpack but

This was quite a bit larger than my old pack which I liked but ultimately the straps fit my chest weirdly and I did not like the top bag strap being flat and hard to grasp as I do a lot of airplane travel. I wanted to love this pack, as it had lots of storage compartments, but I ultimately sent it back which was expensive for having to pay shipping both ways and this was by far a better pack than the other campus 25L I ordered but i returned both ;/

wanted to love this pack

 Two large main compartments. front compartment has great compartmentalized storage. I chose this one for the little sneaky zipper behind the back to hide my wallet. I ride to work about 13 miles and it fits great fully loaded

Once again, against relentless competition from other brands, the Gossamer Gear Mariposa holds its place at the top of the fleet. This pack balances comfort with an emphasis on lightweight design in a way that is unparalleled. The feature set is thoughtful and useful but not overkill. It provides plenty of external-carry options without feeling weighed down by superfluous bells and whistles. The Mariposa had our favorite stretchy back mesh pocket, which was large enough to store extra layers, snacks, and other items we wanted to quickly access. It fits a bear canister and can carry a heavy load but can also be compressed to comfortably carry a smaller load. The fabrics used in its design are durable and lightweight; miles of bushwacking and talus-crossing hardly left a scratch. 
Marketed as a 60-liter pack, the Mariposa can carry up to 64 liters when stuffed to the brim. For some, this may feel like too much room for an ultralight pack, as the more room you have, the more you may end up filling with unnecessary gear. It isn't the lightest in our review, though its 2.5-pound total weight and 14g/L weight-to-volume ratio are impressive. Plus, its slightly heavier weight added a level of comfort that was hard to beat. 

Switchback Travel

Gossamer Gear is a household name in ultralight backpacking, with a popular collection of packs for a range of adventures. Their largest capacity hauler, the Mariposa 60, is one of our go-tos for everything from quick overnights to week-long missions. Despite the sub-2-pound build (for the medium frame and hipbelt), it offers 60 liters of capacity spread out between a main compartment and seven exterior pockets, and is impressively supportive for loads up to 35 pounds (we took it right up to the limit). What’s more, the feature set is clearly designed by experienced thru-hikers: You get a tall side pocket to stash a tent or shelter, two pockets on the right side for water bottles and a filter, a stretchy rear pocket that offers quick access to essentials, large hipbelt pockets, and a bear-canister-compatible main compartment. Uniquely, the removable foam backpanel is located on the outside of the pack for easy accessibility and doubles as a great sit pad for trail-side breaks and camp life.

The Mariposa joins the Circuit above as one of the most popular cottage-brand UL packs on the trail. But while the Gossamer Gear is the clear winner in terms of weight, it falls short of the ULA in a few key ways: First off, the fabric is noticeably thinner, which will be of little concern to most recreational hikers (our pack has held up well to general use and abuse) but noticeable for those who spend months of each year on the trail. Further, the Mariposa offers far less fit customization—you get your pick of three torso and hipbelt sizes, compared to the Circuit’s larger set of offerings (including two styles of shoulder straps). And finally, we found its foam backpanel to bunch up throughout a day of hiking, and many hikers will trade in another foam pad or inflatable pad in place of the stock design (Gossamer Gear also offers a more rigid SitLight Camp Seat). But for dedicated ULers that prioritize organization, the Mariposa is a bare-bones yet fully functional backpack... Read in-depth reviewSee the Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60

 I pull that as tight as I can. I like to keep my shirt untucked Otherwise, you know kind of gets weird and all bunched up But yeah, I like the soup hip belt super tight Load lifters are just taught pull up any slack But the shoulder straps if you guys can see and the sternum strap is super loose That does two things for me. 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 my hand through how that really hurt But yeah That's just how I like to wear the pack everything's just tight enough to where the pack doesn't bounce around and move around too much But you know super comfortable pack worn it for hours and hours on end But yeah another advantage to having super loose straps is When my shoulders get tired and start hurting I can just slip my arms in Keep my hands like this takes the weight off my shoulders. Let's gives my arms a rest That magnetic Clip makes it super easy and convenient, you know, if I need water just keeps the tube right here and That water bottle holder also makes it easier to get water versus trying to like have a Try and reach back here that just that hurts a lot So I just keep this right here But yeah, that's that's me with the bag That's that's me with the pack again

It's the size large and hip belt size medium. So Let's head back inside because it's freezing out, you know, give you my thoughts and opinions on it So I've owned this pack for a year and a half Probably got anywhere from a couple to a few hundred miles into it Mostly day hikes to get a good workout in but also lots of overnight trips and weekend trips as well It's a great pack very comfortable Has never caused me any pain There's lots of space inside and I really like all the pockets For quick and easy access and allowing me to organize everything how I want if the dog does go with me on a trip There's still plenty of room left over which makes it easier to add all of his stuff as well Packs got no signs of wear and tear like none Maybe few dirt stains and the occasional loose thread, but that's easily fixed with a lighter The shoulder straps and hip belt cushioning still like new no issues there The only gripe I could think of is that none of the pack material is waterproof, but very few packs have that feature I would definitely buy this pack again

Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60 - Long Longterm Review

 So, you know, it's springtime, Michigan, which means it's supposed to snow for the next week, but

 Let's head inside and do a quick review of the gossamer gear mariposa 60

 All right, guys, so this is my gossamer gear mariposa 60 got in a size large

 Everything including two pack liners weighs two pounds and six ounces on my scale

 The pack is two hundred and twenty five dollars. The hip belt is an additional 45

 making the total two hundred and seventy dollars

 The pack is made out of aerobic nylon material and has an aluminum internal frame

 There are five pockets on the main body. You got a tall one over here. You got two stacked smaller ones a

 Inside there is a pocket for a water bladder

 Down here. You got two spots to hold your trekking poles

 You got an ice axe loop, which I don't use in multiple attachment points

 total capacity is 60 liters the main body being 36 liters and

 24 liters spread throughout the rest of the pockets

 Gossamer gear says the max carrying weight is 35 pounds

 But it's recommended that you top out at 30 if you want to know everything that's inside the pack

 Anyway, I added some stuff to the pack, you know just to make it my own

 So that I could attach my trekking pole and six and a half feet of shock cord

 With six binder clips so I could hang stuff to dry or make my own ridge line

 So got the pack flipped around for you guys. I'm going to talk about this side

 It's got a little hole up here that you can feed your drinking tube through does come with two keepers

 Sternum strap has a built-in whistle comes with this sit pad that slips into this pocket gives you some extra cushioning

 But when I did the sleeping pad still fit behind the sit pad and they both fit in there just fine

 If you get the hip belt you get two additional pockets. I added a

 shoulder strap pocket keep all like my little tools and a MOLLE style water bottle

 Just so I don't have to reach behind me as far

 And a little magnetic clip they came with my water bladder that I attached to the sternum pocket now

 We got a break in the weather and it's not snowing as much anymore

 So let's head outside and I'll show you how I pack it all up

 All right, so got everything laid out here for you guys

 I'm gonna show you how I pack it already got the pack liners in sleeping bag started but

 Literally just keep stuffing and stuffing until it's all the way in there and all in the bottom
