Our workforce at Gossamer Gear is continually innovating to create merchandise which might be easy, gentle, and important. We wish to decrease the obstacles to getting began with light-weight backpacking. That’s why we’re so excited to announce our newest product: The LTA (“lighter than air”) 40-Liter Backpack.
The LTA 40—affectionately known as “The Floaty”—started when a fairly epic Valentine’s Day show of flowers and balloons was by chance delivered to the entrance steps of our warehouse. Unfortunately, we had been unable to trace down the true recipient of the present. We’ll by no means know if Shelia came upon that her greatest buddy Ted has been quietly in love along with her for the final ten years. But what we do know is that we took one have a look at these heart-shaped mylar balloons floating so effortlessly within the air and had an actual ah-ha second!
For the final 20+ years, we’ve been taking a look at light-weight backpacking by means of the eyes of minimalism. How can we eradicate what’s pointless to lighten our load? Where can we minimize grams for a extra snug trek within the wilderness?
But, what if our quest to go lighter doesn’t must be finished by means of such aware intention? What if we will simply engineer the load away? What if we, too, can float so leisurely within the air like these shiny pink balloons? We known as our cloth producers instantly.
After a number of rounds of testing, we lastly landed on a design so gentle that it’s going to raise our prospects proper off the path and as much as that mountain peak!
The Floaty is on the cutting-edge of ultralight journey. We’ve employed the most recent helium-filled materials to create a pack that actually floats. That’s proper: While different hikers are busy slicing grams, you received’t even really feel the load of your pack as you butterfly stroke your means by means of the air. The Floaty will maintain you buoyant, even on the hardest trails.
We know you’ll love this pack. Plus, in case you ever discover that you simply want slightly additional raise, you’ll be able to merely swing by your native florist and have them pump you up with extra of that helium magic.
Take extra helium. Float extra.
The new firm slogan has a pleasant ring to it, eh?
We’ll be rolling out this helium-filled cloth expertise in a few of our basic favorites just like the Mariposa 60, Kumo 36, and G4-20.
And we’ll maintain innovating, in search of practical new designs and colour waves that meet the wants of our mountaineering group, like we lately did with our Loris 25 in Tropical Mist and the Fast Kumo.
