Gossamer Gear Loris 25 vs Atom Packs

I’ve switched to the Gossamer Gear Loris 25 for that niche. It’s 18” tall like the Trail 25 and has a fold top to allow expansion to 22” as an ultralight overhead bag (or more gear and groceries on arrival). I like the shoulder strap pockets.

My next trip is with a Gossamer Gear Loris 25 that is a fold top design that will extend from 18” to 22”. That could stop any requests to stow it under a seat.

If you get a chance, take a look at the Gossamer Gear Loris 25. It can extend to 55cm tall when you need it.

the Gossamer Gear Loris 25 will fit under a.seat and expand on length for overhead and weighs just 19.5 oz / 553 g.

My new ultralight alternative is the Gossamer Gear Loris 25 that is just 553g and $135 retail. The folding top design will allow to expand to 22” tall for overhead use.

Atom packs - the only decent UL pack i could find in my recent search.

I ordered it according to the size guide and I am very happy with my pack.

I followed their instructions and like how my pack fits.

Last time I checked Atom packs take 2 to 3 months to ship which sucks because their packs are the best looking out of all european options. If I had time to wait id pick their backpack for sure

Atom packs is in the UK and makes great stuff, which simplifies the decision a bit.
