Here’s my review of the Mariposa Plus backpack from gossamergear.com
always enjoy your vids was wondering is there a diff between external and internal frames or just pref i use a alice pack and am thinkin of switching packs and any tips on tarp shelters
You did a really nice job on this review. Well done.
First of all, I didn’t know he was Czech. I’ll apologize for that. Second of all, the official language in the Czech Republic is Czech, not Russian. Comment withdrawn.
I’d bet his english is a lot better than your russian. He’s from the Czech Republic, according to his profile. Shame on him for being reasonably bilingual.
Argh, I wish they still had the small in stock of the original Mariposa.
Thanks. Unfortunately, I’ve never tried an MLD pack but I’ve always wanted to.
nice video! do you have any experience with the mountain laurel designs backpacks? Just wondering how they compare.
I am quite impressed with this pack. It incorporates many of the features I have added/wished for on my many packs over the years. I am interested to know what you put in your pack and how you pack it. I am new to the UL idea even though I am a long time backpacker. I am trying to introduce my wife to backcountry camping (which I’m sure she’ll enjoy) as an alternative to “truck” camping (where one brings a truckload of stuff to a near the road camp). A light pack would certainly make it happier.
It’s as durable as any other UL pack out there. The Gorilla is supposed to be more durable but I don’t see any issues with the Mariposa.
Great review Jason, very clear & concise. This pack is one of the UL packs I’m considering picking up. I assume it’s a pretty durable pack?
Sorry, a “keg”?
hey i heard that you gave a guy a keg and im to young to drink but i need a keg for my back packing things do you have any extras?
Jason, Well done VID and what a cool pack…Thanks for sharing…
Hi Alpenstock,
You can get all the info at gossamergearDOTcom
hallo, what it be knapsack, how much price, where buy? thank Alpenstock
Sorry, I should have been clearer. “UL” stands for “ultralight”.
doesn’t look like you’ve used the pack much yet
Brilliant and thorough review Jason.
I aim to get me one of those …. someday.
BTW … I truly enjoy your reports from the field. Terrific scenery!!
Shug
That’s awesome to hear! You made my day. Enjoy your new pack and enjoy Japan!
i just bought this pack and i have to say that your videos played a big part of that decision (along with the insanely fast email replies to my newbie ?’s from GG directly). For someone like me, who is just getting into UL, your videos really bridge that transitional gap of understanding UL well AND inspire. thanks for this and I’ll be off to japan with my Mariposa Plus next spring.
Well, I’m cool like dat!
thats good so you dont squash the hydration pack
That was a great review Jason, very detailed and clear. Thanks!
Nice video Jason!
o.k.!
