FOR SALE: Gossamer Gear Mariposa (Robic version) Size M + Hip Belt (Price Drop)

Gossamer Gear Mariposa 
(Robic version) Size M + Size S Hip Belt

FINAL Price Drop. £120 delivered UK. 

If it doesn't sell, I'll keep it, the price will not be dropping anymore

This is approx 2 years old and rarely used.
(One TGOC and a couple of over nighters)
I swapped it with a friend who had hardly used it, and I have only used it once.

I have a Tramplite, an Atom Mo and an aged GG Gorilla which covers everything for me, so this just sits on a shelf.

Spec:
Weight:              950g with extra shock cord and hip belt
                           (The GG web site weight of 880g excludes hip belt)
Capacity:           60L according to Gossamer Gear
Size:                    Medium
Hip Belt Size:     Is a Small (See below for sizes from GG)

The hip belt is one that has the rear stays fitted into it, but is removable.
It also has the smaller pocket size.
I have no idea, why GG made them with different pocket sizes 🤷‍♂️


Existing small belt witrh small pocket.
Pocket is approx 14cm



The existing Small Belt

This belt is fine for me with additional adjustment, over 3 layers inc Paramo.
I am 5' 10" and a 33" waist. There is room to definitely go much bigger on it.

This is the Small belt on me.
You can see it can go a lot bigger.
Measuring the belt on full extreme, the circunmerence came to 129 cm approx 50"
God knows what a LARGE is in the USA 😨





It will also have with it, a really old slightly tatty Medium belt.
This is the old style without the inserts for the stays


Older style slightly tatty Medium belt
The older belt has been modified to have thicker webbing as the original was too slippy, so it doesn't go down quite as small as specified in the chart below.

New thicker webbing was sewn to the old webbing.
This is super strong.
Personally, if you are buying a Medium back, than the Small belt should be fine.
It will boil down to waist size.

This is currently on sale on GG site $225 (with belt) exc shipping & Tax

You can see from the pictures it is in tip top condition.
The slight mark on the mesh is because I had just wiped it over with a damp cloth.
