Gossamer Gear Mariposa

The Mariposa 60 is designed for a maximum carry capacity of 35 pounds. For the most comfortable experience on the trail, we recommend keeping your total pack weight at or below 30 pounds.

The PVT frame features a pivoting hipbelt that moves with your body’s natural gait. This design prevents the pack from fighting your movement, which helps reduce fatigue and improves stability on uneven terrain.

Yes, the pack uses a unisex harness system and requires you to purchase the hipbelt separately. This allows you to select the specific hipbelt size that matches your measurements, ensuring a precise and secure fit.

The SitLight pad serves a dual purpose: it provides structure and cushioning against your back while inside the pack, and it can be removed to serve as a lightweight, insulated seat during breaks or at camp.

While it is an excellent choice for multi-day trekking, it is best suited for three-season use. It does include dedicated attachments for trekking poles and ice axes, making it versatile for varied terrain.

The exterior pockets are designed for quick access to essentials without needing to open the main compartment. This includes a large mesh pocket for wet gear, side pockets for water bottles, and smaller pockets for snacks or navigation tools.
