gossamer gear gorilla 50 review

Although it’s not the most lightweight model in our lineup, it handles light to medium loads (up to 30 pounds) with supreme ease and comfort.
The durable upside-down U-frame enables the well-padded shoulder straps and waist belt to distribute weight comfortably down onto your hips.
When carrying smaller loads, the Gorilla cinches down and carries very well.
This pack is stacked with features, including large external pockets on the back and a large lid for stowing smaller items.

  • Comfort

    The Gorilla is exceptionally comfortable. The shoulder straps, hip belt and back padding does a great job transferring load weight off your shoulders and onto your hip.

  • Ease of Use

    Some of the standout features of the Gorilla are also the easiest to use. The generous exterior pockets had us dreaming up trips where we could put all our essentials for the day in them and never have to open up the main pack body — such luxury!

    • m frame: 3 oz (86 g)

      Weight-to-Volume Ratio

      The Gossamer Gear Gorilla weighs 31.1 ounces or 882 grams, with a total volume of 50 liters.

      It is quite modular, allowing you to remove many components to shed weight, including the back padding, aluminum frame, and hip belt. The weights for all these parts are:

      • Main pack body: 17.2 oz (488 g)
      • Hip belt: 7.5 oz (214 g)
      • Back padding: 3.4 oz. (95 g)
  • We used ping pong balls to measure the internal volume of the main pack body. With the top flap securely closed and not overstuffed, we measured the main compartment at approximately 39 liters. We also measured the approximate volumes of the other pockets.
  • The center pocket is about 5.4 liters, each of the two side pockets is about 3.7 liters, the top flap pocket is roughly 3.4 liters, and each of the two hip belt pockets is about 1.7 liters (or 5 Clif Bars each). Combined, the Gorilla has an approximate total volume of around 53.2 liters.
