Gossamer Gear Gorilla 50 Backpack
Ultra-lightweight all-purpose backpack.
Product information
- Manufacturer: Gossamer Gear
- Product code: GORILLA
Gossamer Gear Gorilla 50 is an ultralight backpack suitable for treks, pilgrimages, but also for shorter trips. The updated version for 2021 with a larger volume of 50 liters (the backpack is slightly bigger inside) and a new type of back mattress with better ventilation! The new backpack comes with a hip belt, size M.
Enough volume for longer treks and hikes, but thanks to the compression straps and detachable waist belt, it suddenly turns into a smaller pack for shorter trips and hikes that weighs almost nothing. According to Outdoor Gear Lab, it's one of the best ultralight backpacks on the market. You can read the test results and a detailed review of the backpack here.
It is rightfully one of our best-selling backpacks and most popular models among our team members. It won us over thanks to its great balance of weight, carrying comfort and durability. The backpack belongs to the top weight class due to its volume, it is very comfortable to carry even on long trips and, most importantly, it can withstand such long deployments. We also appreciate the practical removable back padding, which can be turned into a seat in no time.
In size S and when filled to the appropriate limits with the use of the compression straps, it can also be taken as hand luggage on the plane.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE SIZE OF THE BACKPACK?

- poměrně úzká konstrukce, takže věci se dávájí na sebe do komínku
- přístup pouze shora, takže je nutné dobře plánovat balení
- záda příliš nevětrají
- malé sedátko vložené v zádech jako komfortní výztuha se obtížně vyndavá a zandavá, takže jako provizorní sedátko moc neposlouží
- doplňkové kapsičky na něm plandají a spíš při manipulaci obtěžují
- hůky nelze vyndat a zandat bez sundání batohu
- pokud je batoh prázdnější, horní „rukáv“ víka je poměrně dlouhý a nemotorný

Co se mi nelíbí - když nechcete nosit víko, které je u mojí verze odepínatelné, tak zavírání hlavní komory jen na šňůrku není odolné proti nepřízni počasí. Pěnová karimatka v zádech skoro vůbec nevětrá, takže se potí záda. Asi zkusím koupit Air flow Camp seat.
