United StatesGreat so far under unusual circumstances
I bought this pack as a lighter option for shorter trips and hopefully something that would move with my body more as I explore fastpacking, as compared to my REI Flash 55. So far I have used it on a multi-day hut to hut hike & via ferrata in the Dolomites. While I didn't have it loaded the way I would for backpacking (tent & sleeping bag missing), I did load it down pretty well with the via ferrata gear, extra clothes, etc. I was impressed with how well it stayed and moved with me while climbing. The front mesh pockets on the shoulders are large enough for my iphone mini (a larger one might not fit) and a water-****** style bottle. I can reach snacks in the side pockets while moving (though replacing a water bottle is a bit tricky). I really like the removable hipbelt - it actually seems to take some of the load while being very comfortable and flexible. The whole thing is very packable for travel with the removable sit-pad back panel. I went to GGG to purchase the pack and Katia was extremely patient with me as I compared features of this, the Fast Kumo, and the G420, loaded them all up and took them on and off. I ultimately decided that the Superlight's straps fit my chest better than the vest of the Fast Kumo, and while I preferred the closure of the G420, the flexible hipbelt on the Kumos fit my hips much better. I am really glad I picked the Superlight once I saw how the pack handled off-trail. I'm not sure I would have made the right decision without trying on the 3 packs a dozen times :) Awesome customer service as usual!
United StatesCompact and lightweight
This is a great compact light pack. Fits well on my shoulders and hip (I am 5’3” and 125 lbs.). I like the outer pocket for my clipboard and the upper flap is easily accessible. I hope the material holds up to brush, seems a little thin and the hole on the top of the bag is too small for a hydration hose, I had to cut it to make it larger. Overall, very satisfied.
United KingdomJust enough
Great backpack. Just enough pockets. Minimal padding, great you can pull out the back padding and use as sitting pad. So light for a reasonable volume pack!
United StatesIt’s a great little pack
The item is fantastic, ultra light. Great quality and well thought out. The belt isn’t the most comfortable I’ve tried but overall is an excellent pack. Well designed, quality material and built to last!
United StatesGreat Pack!
After being frustrated by the lack of comfort of any daypacks I had tried, I recently emptied out my Mariposa and used that instead. It was much more comfortable, and actually about the same weight or less than the other packs I was using. That lead me to purchase this pack, as it's even smaller and slimmer, and I can still also load it up to use on multi-day adventures. The buckles are a lot smaller, and thus flimsier and a bit tougher to use, but as to be expected from an ultralight pack. Overall I love it, and have already taken it on a half dozen hikes with zero problems. GG and GGG never disappoint!
