I already own an old GVP G4 and love it. Mine weighs in at just 14 oz. with padding and I will keep it around but I think the Gorilla pack is going to be my new pack. I like the features although it does weigh some 10 oz. more.
The Gorilla™ is a durable smaller volume pack that is loaded with new fabrics and features. This pack carries a slimmer profile makes for a very controlled load that doesn't move around on your back but still allows 5 days worth of food and gear to be carried comfortably. The main pack fabric is a 210 denier double wall ripstop and we're using an all new power-stretch mesh for the pockets making the Gorilla™ one tough little beast. The pad holder pocket on this pack is made from the same lighter weight wicking 3D mesh that is used on the straps to help out on those hot summer climbs. The Gorilla™ also includes our curved stay set for optimal load transfer and comfort, and one webbing compression strap on each side. There are still plenty of grosgrain loops and shock cord and cord locks included for further compression options. The ample outer pockets make this a deceptively big "small" pack and the rear pocket is large enough for a tarp, leaving that much more room inside for your more weather sensitive items.
