Nice!! I just finished up a three day hike with mine. Rather impressed me!! I might have to start using it for the rest of the year to see how it performs.

ReplyDeleteWhat else would you use?
I usually use my MLD Burn for three/four day trip like this one coming up but need to try out the new "toy".
The Gorilla (2010 model) was perfect for the 2 x 9 day sections of the JMT (Wild Ideas carbon fibre bear barrel fitted in well).
sorry, i did not get notified you responded to my comment.
ReplyDeletemy primary backpack is a zpacks zero x-small (1,000 cubic inches) and is all I have used for the last 1,000 or so miles. i ordered up the murmur because I was looking for something that could hold a few more days worth of food, and because *everybody* out there was saying this new 2012 murmur was awesome!
ps: here is my initial thoughts on the 2012 gg murmur backpack: http://hikelighter.com/2012/05/28/gossamer-gear-murmur-hyperlight-backpack-2012-first-hike-review/
