Description

The Gorilla™ is a durable smaller volume pack that is loaded with new fabrics and features. We love the way this pack carries, its slimmer profile makes for a very controlled load that doesn't move around on your back but still allows 5 days worth of food and gear to be carried comfortably. The main pack fabric is a 210 denier double wall ripstop and we're using an all new power-stretch mesh for the pockets making the Gorilla™ one tough little beast. The pad holder pocket on this pack is made from the same lighter weight wicking 3D mesh that is used on the straps to help out on those hot summer climbs. The Gorilla™ also includes our curved stay set for optimal load transfer and comfort, and one webbing compression strap on each side. There are still plenty of grosgrain loops and shock cord and cord locks included for further compression options. The ample outer pockets make this a deceptively big "small" pack and the rear pocket is large enough for a The One™ or one of our GG tarps, leaving that much more room inside for your more weather sensitive items.


The Gorilla™ comes with a SitLight™ pad, 10' of shock cord and three cord locks. The shoulder straps (size medium and large only, size small the foam is sewn in and the straps are narrower) and hip belt are designed to accept unused articles of clothing as padding and the hip belt is removable. Foam inserts are included if you are disinclined to use sleeping socks, gloves, etc. as your padding. The Gorilla™ will also happily accept our Hip Belt and Shoulder Strap pockets.

Testimonials

"Went goldpanning for a weekend with it and it worked great. My dog knocked me off a 12 foot cliff and I had to climb a rope back up to the trail so the backpack is definitely broke in now but it handled all that just fine."
