Hi All,

I’m weighing my options for my first ever “ultralight” level backpack, and I’ve landed on prioritizing comfort by sacrificing some weight and pursuing a backpack that has a frame and load lifters. I was fairly certain on the purchase of a Durston Kakwa 55, and now I’m slightly second guessing after seeing GG released new versions of their backpacks.

It seems like they’ve made improvements over their old models, primarily with redesigned load lifters, frame, hipbelt, and shoulder straps. However, the Mariposa still runs $315 brand new, which is a bit of a hefty price compared to a Durston.

Curious to see what the general ultralight community is feeling with these new bags. Thanks!
