[SOLD] [ACT, CANBERRA] Gossamer Gear 2012 Mariposa Fors Sale

[justacouch]

For sale I have one 2012 Gossamer Gear Mariposa Backpack. I have used this once on an overnighter, and found it to be slightly too large for me (I prefer loads on the hips). This is a great pack in undamaged, excellent, as new condition. Comes with a sit pad too, for the back padding.

Mariposa 2012 Ultralight Backpack
Pack Size
Large (19" - 22" torso) (48 - 56 cm.) {Generally fits people 5' 9" to 6'2"}
Medium hip belt (30" - 38" waist) (76 - 96.5 cm.)

These are $295 shipped to Australia. Happy to let it go for $250 shipped in AU or $230 for local pick up in Canberra CBD or inner north - save yourself $65 bucks worth of hard earned.

Here are some detailed pics, happy to answer any questions in the post or by PM. If you're local, you're welcome to try the pack on.





Front of the pack, the mesh pocket fits a heap of stuff, really good for spare layers.



This is the harness and sit pad padding. Really comfy pack, just a smidge to big for me.



These are the two 'small' pockets, the other side has one large pocket. A the bottom pocket will fit 2L of water in a platy soft bottle, and the top will fit lunch.



This is the big side pocket for your tent etc. That bit of elastic cord that is slanting from near the load lifter to the top right of the big pocket will move up on top of the lid once tightened.



Showing one of the hip belt pockets and the buckle. The hip belt pockets fit a long merino buff, glove liners, and an e-lite head torch with a bit of room to spare.



The bottom of the pack - mint, and there is no damage to any other part of the pack, it is as new.

It's a great pack - I can vouch for it as I have one too.
I originally ordered the medium, but found the shoulder straps were extending too high. Rather than return it, I passed it on to hubby, and I ordered the small frame size (I am 165 cm/5' 6")
Workmanship and finish is excellent.

I find your pack very interesting, i have the same pack, purchased a couple months ago.
I saw your post last night and thought something looks different, i confirmed today when i compared against my pack. Your pocket on the side, the side with the two pockets, the top pocket on your pack is twice the size of mine.

Interesting. I wonder if that pocket is bigger on the larger sizes? What size pack do you have?
