DAKINE Mission Pro 25L Pack - Women's vs Gossamer Gear Mariposa

I have this 4 stars only because I thought it would be slightly larger. It's really kinda small. Otherwise it's made very well, quality materials and stitching and looks great. It's just too small

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.

They will rest comfortably on your shoulders lots of padding around to keep everything feeling great. It's good cushioning against the back of the bag...

6 ounces—significantly less than the medium version of the Mariposa with a hipbelt.

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 is the first pocket in the front. It's the separate compartment where you can put stuff and a main compartment right here where you can put your ...
