Hi!
I'm considering buying one of these
2 backpacks: Gossamer Gear Mariposa 2012, Granite Gear Crown 60.
The Mariposa is lighter but is it better?
If someone have tried these backpacks I would like to
have some opinions:)

I have used an older Mariposa and the 2012 Gorilla. I checked out the Crown VC 60 and carried it around at bit, but it never made it to the trail. There are at least a couple of threads about the Crown VC 60. It feature set is better than it's ancestor, the Vapor Trail, but everyone I know who used the Vapor Trail has been dissatisfied with the Crown VC 60. To add the features it seems they have cut some of the suspension making it less comfortable to carry. I can't recommend it.
I have found the Mariposa / Gorilla very comfortable when using a sit pad in the pad pocket and a set of stays. I use the Gorilla because the Mariposa has way to much volume.

ok thanks for your opinion. I think I'm buying the Mariposa
