Description
The Gorilla is an internal frame backpack made by Gossamer Gear. It has an average rating of 5 stars (out of 5), based on 3 user reviews.
Manufacturer's Description:
The new Gorilla keeps the same Mariposa family features in a trimmer silhouette, unique symmetric side pocket design (both side pockets are accessible while wearing the pack), dual function removable adjustable sternum strap/emergency whistle, and hydration bladder pocket with ports on each side. Cushy wicking fabric on the shoulder straps and hip belt prevent slipping, and the 3-dimensional weave aids in quicker drying.
Multiple pockets help you organize your load. Tons of strategically placed lashing loops enable you to easily adapt the pockets to carry longer items by lashing them to the sides. The unique "Y" top lash strap allows for a more stable 3-point connection to secure items such as rolled sleeping pads or bear canisters, with still only one buckle to operate. The sturdy shock cord compression lacing allows you to reduce the pack volume so it still carries the load tightly for shorter trips.
MSRP: $165
