Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Anyway I love that GG are offering some more competitive options again. This is lighter than some popular, frameless, hipbeltless packs!

- Funny bc I just sold my Gossamer Gear for a ULA and I am in LOVE, lol.

I want to give a shoutout to Gossamer Gear, Bearikade, Western Mountaineering and Durston Gear who very kindly helped me replace the backpacking gear lost in the fire.
