Ultra-lightweight backpack with large capacity for long trails.
Product information
- Manufacturer: Gossamer Gear
- Product code: MARIPOSA
The Gossamer Gear Mariposa 60 is an ultralight backpack with plenty of storage space for long-distance treks and pilgrimages.
The backpack won the Editors' choice award as the best ultralight backpack in the Outdoorgearlab.com test. It has been ranked at the top for a long time. We recommend it especially for long hiking trips, where you will appreciate the ample internal space along with the extra-large external pockets (60l in total). It is one of the most popular packs on long distance treks like the PCT due to the combination of very light weight for the volume, comfort of carrying, and sufficient durability for this type of travel.
2024 update
- The most significant change is the completely redesigned PVT back system, which significantly moves the already great level of carrying comfort forward and, most importantly, now works better for a wider range of body types. The shoulder straps now hug the shoulders better and are more ergonomically shaped. The longer frame allows you to pull the load closer to your back with the load-lifter straps. The frame to waist belt connection is now movable, making the pack more responsive to the user's movements, increasing wearing comfort.
- The backpacks are made from recycled materials that do not contain harmful chemicals known as PFAS.
- The range of purchasable waist belts has been extended with the "Curve" version. Those are slightly curved and more suitable for some figures.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE OF THE BACKPACK?
Have the length of your spine measured from the level of the iliac crest (the top of the bone on the side of your back) to the C7 vertebrae at the base of your neck. This is the top of the first vertebra that protrudes when the head is tilted.
| Backpack size | S | M | L |
| Torso | 40,5-46 cm | 46-51 cm | 51-56+ cm |
HIPBELT SIZES
The backpack has a replaceable hipbelt available in different lenghts as well as straight and curved variants. The backpack already comes with a hipbelt included from the factory (see below for variants coming with each backpack size). If you wish to increase your carry comfort and dial the fit to your body, you can order a different hipbelt separately.
| Hipbelt included | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Backpack size | S | M | L |
| Hipbelt | S/M curve | M straight | M straight |
| Hipbelt sizing | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hipbelt size | S/M curve | M/L curve | S straight | M straight | L straight |
| Hip size | 72-142 cm | 85-152 cm | 66 - 136 cm | 76 - 146 cm | 86 - 156 cm |
| Waist to Hip Ratio | Calculate your WHR by dividing your waist measurement by your hip measurement. If it is 0.85 or lower, you will likely need a curved hipbelt. If it is higher than 0.85, you will likely need a straight hipbelt. | ||||

Pohodlně se nosí (na rozdíl od mnoha batohů s komplikovaným zádovým systémem) a skvělé je uspořádání kapes, díky kterému nemusím několikrát denně lézt dovnitř batohu (pokud si věci systematicky rozmístím). Přijde mi pohodlnější, když je plná, než když je poloplná.
Jednou za čas ji vyperu v pračce na 30°C (bez zádové minikarimatky a bez vyjímatelného rámu). Dělám to tak roky a nikdy se nepoškodila.
Na rozdíl od Gossamer Gear Gorilla 50 nemá po stranách kompresní popruhy, což bych ocenila zejména, nen-li batoh zcela naplněn.
