Love the Gossamer Mariposa backpack. Just purchased it and took it on a 5-day trip in the Sierras. Pack was very comfortable and I was able to balance the load well on the pack. No rubbing on the hips and shoulders like my previous pack. Would highly recommend this pack and the camera holder for the shoulder strap (very convenient).

It’s amazing when you get a piece of gear that fits you right. Only thing I would change is the way the hip belt tightens. Not easy but manageable. If they would make a hipbelt that tightens inward id buy it. Wink wink Gosemer gear
