Ultralight Mountain Backpack
The Gorilla 50 ultralight mountain backpack is designed in Texas (United States) by Gossamer Gear. It is a highly regarded model that has been recently redesigned to make it even lighter and more comfortable than previous versions.
*It achieved the 2nd place as the best ultralight mountain backpack in 2023 by Outdoor Gear Lab.

When to Use It
The Gorilla 50 is designed for both weekend and multi-week routes in 3 seasons. It has a removable internal frame to transfer weight to the hip belt and stabilize the load, especially on long hikes. However, for shorter routes where you don’t need to carry as much gear, you can remove the frame and make it even lighter.
You can even remove the hip belt if you don’t need it. You can also detach the new G SitLight Camp Seat back foam and use it as a ground pad or as a sleeping pillow 🙂

Design
This latest version brings some small changes. Now, the Gorilla 50 comes with a size M hip belt installed by default, which fits most hikers. It also features a new, more comfortable, and ventilated back foam. Additionally, it comes in a yellow color that will be available upon reservation.
Other than that, everything remains the same. It has 2 side pockets and another front mesh pocket for drying wet rain gear. The shoulder straps are wide and contribute to a comfortable carry. The hip belt is wider and thicker, with 2 additional pockets to store small accessories.

Made with Robic Nylon
This ultralight mountain backpack is constructed with Robic, a type of ripstop nylon of very high quality manufactured by Hyosung. It has a thin polyurethane waterproof coating (PU) and is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) on the exterior to prevent water absorption.
Compared to other nylon fabrics, Robic is up to 50% stronger and tear-resistant while remaining equally lightweight. For the Gorilla 50, they have used two densities: 70 denier and 100 denier for the areas most prone to abrasion.

La mochila es super comoda hasta con mucho peso y durante el trekking de varios dias en alta montaña. Estoy encantado con ella.

Estupenda mochila, quizás un poco más cara que otras del mercado pero con unos materiales y acabados excelentes. Es muy ligera y resistente y con muy buenos detalles como el bolsillo y la mala frontal. Ademas el tamaño es ideal, entran bastantes cosas. Ha sido muy buena elección. La recomiendo 100%

Cabe decir partiendo de la atención y el sevicio muy personalizado es de agradecer. El asesoramiento y la posventa; y el producto se ve tal cual yo lo quería. Ahora solo queda probarlo unas cuantas veces para o durante un mínimo de tiempo para hablar de sus cualidades. Ya que promete es bonito y se ve de calidad
Otra cosa importante la página no parece tener un standar de presentación carece de algunas opciones de pago ; pero no deja de ser segura. Os animo a comprar sin ningún a duda

Tras usarla varias veces, es una mochila excepcional. Merece la pena la inversión. Tenemos los dos la misma y estamos igual de satisfechos. Ligera, cómoda, resistente…¿Qué más puedo decir? Satisfechos.
