In my never-ending quest to find the perfect pack for my upcoming PCT thru-hike, I feel the need to ask this question. Is it nearly certain that the stitching in Gossamer Gear packs will fail when pushing the upper weight limits of their packs? I know a girl who had the Miniposa on the AT, she says that the stitching gave out on the shoulder straps when she had to push 30 lbs a few times. this is something I've read several times in reviews and posts here on BPL as well. The miniposa looks like nearly the perfect pack (except for straight stays), but the durability becomes a huge concern on a thru-hike.
