Your not the only one, Nuts, I expected this to be gone by now. Want a quick sale so I priced appropriately. As I'm embarking on a long hike in the next two weeks. Saving up to purchase a ultra light weight pack. My back just can't carry weights in access of 15kg anymore. I'm looking at getting my total pack weight including a weeks supply of food and 2 litres of water down to max 12kg for my upcoming hike. I need a pack less than a kg to do this.
I've not considered Ebay, but if it don't sell in the next couple of day's, I'll consider ebay.

Awesome price, awesome pack but alas I already have one! The pics do make me think I should hit mine with a scrubbing brush or pressure cleaner though, yours is much older but looks much better!

Suprised that this hasn't sold already... Great price and it looks like it's hardly been used! If I didn't already have one I would take it off your hands.

I hung mine off the clothesline recently and gave it a good hosing and scrubbing & it came up like a new pack... You definitely lose some credibilty though :wink:

Hi Dale, I'm considering a Gossamer Gear Mariposa 2012 Ultralight Backpack. Weight is 765 grams.
The other packs I've got my eye on is a ULA and a GoLite. So far I like the specs of the Gossamer pack.

Nice ! The new range of GG packs do look sweet... I have a Z packs Blast 22 on order in a hybrid cuben fabric. I found my current pack, although light, to be more than I need volume wise for most trips.

Have you looked at the Hyperlite Mountain Gear range ? The Windrider Southwest looks pretty cool but may not have the volume you're after.

This keeps getting more and more off-topic but I will throw my two cents in. I just got my Porter pack from HMG and on first appearances I am very happy.

Great price on the McMillan. If it was a medium I would have bought it already! It is kinda nice to have a bombproof pack for friends and family.

I ordered a GossamerGear Mariposa 2012 Ultralight Backpack today, It's 764 grams.

Might put my Aarn Load Limo pack up for sale shortly, As good a pack it is, I need to go light as possible and the volume is to much for me now. I can't see myself ever using this pack again. I'm of to the gym now, when I'm back, you might find a Aarn pack listed for sale.

Will look into one of the lighter Aarn packs in the future. I'll see how I go. I recently went hiking through the Gold Coast Hinterland with a 47 litre 1.5kg Jansport pack, Total pack weight was just under 12kg including food and the load was comfortable, My dream was to always have in my possession of a pack less than a kilo. That dream has now come through, Just got to work on getting it under the total weight of 10kg and I'll be happy. what I'm quoting here are winter weights. Must say I'm a bit proud of myself to get the weights this low, Considering I'm carrying a GoPro Camera with spare batteries and two tripods. I like my gadgets, Having the low weights will allow me to carry more toy's with me and not break my back.
Summer I'll be way under the 10kg mark.

You'll like the Mariposa Phillip. I've got the 2009 Mariposa Plus. Great pack and way light. I think it is even less than the 2012, 680g or something like that.

Good luck with the sale, nothing wrong with One Planet packs.

Thanks photohiker, The Mariposa I've ordered is listed at 765 grams. ETA is this Thursday or Friday. Will be christened on a 7 day hike at Fraser Island in less than 2 weeks, followed by 3 days rest and relaxation at Kingfisher Bay Resort. :D However I'll be taking it on a overnight hike this weekend, and a day hike this Friday, so long it arrives in time.

I've got some interest in the One Planet Pack in the past half hour with offers coming through. So I don't think this pack will be hanging around here in my room for to long. It deserves to be out in the field.
