GG Gorilla dimensions needed

[Christopher Wilke]

Any Gorilla owners out there that would be willing to take some measurements on their pack? I'm between a medium and large on GG's sizing chart so I need more info. Here's what I'm looking for on both a medium and large:

-The distance from the shoulder strap attachment point to the TOP of the hip belt.

-The width (vertical distance) of the hip belt? Preferable a medium one but I imagine the sizes are similar if not the same for the width.

-The width and height (including extension collar) of the pack

I emailed these questions to Grant last night but wanted to see if I could find the answers here faster. Don't want to miss their end of the year sale!

Thanks for the help!

Chris,

Happened to have mine sitting out for a overnight I was going to take until I saw they're predicting a giant snowstorm that will end life as we know it on the East Coast.

My Med. Gorilla(MEd. hip belt):(edit: My Gorrilla was bought May 08)

-The distance from the shoulder strap attachment point to the TOP of the hip belt

16"

-The width (vertical distance) of the hip belt? Preferable a medium one but I imagine the sizes are similar if not the same for the width.

It hip belt tapers smaller toward the end. 3.75" nearest teh pack body, 3.5" in ~the middle, 2.75" where it meets the straps which are themselves 1.5" wide.

-The width and height (including extension collar) of the pack

H-30"
W-11"(this is just the back panel.

Appreciate the info Jim. One question though. I thought the Gorilla was introduced this year. Did you mean May 09?

Any Large Gorilla owners out there that could chime in so I can compare dimensions?
