I am looking into the 2012 gorilla. My 2010 failed in mainly 2 places (albeit after about 3000 miles!), at the bottom of the sleeve which holds the stays and right down the middle of the back panel fabric, behind the foam pad insert. Besides these two areas I think I could have gotten many more miles out of the pack. I am wondering if the 2012 fabric changes include these two areas? I can't tell from all the pictures online which only show the back with the sit light inserted, thus concealing the fabric panel which ripped on my 2010 pack. Thank you!

Edit: Just an answer to my own question for those of you who might have the same thought in the future: The 2012 Gorilla has the same back panel fabric as the 2010 gorilla, except it is black instead of gray. This was the answer provided to me by Gossamer Gear.
