Our workforce at Gossamer Gear is consistently innovating to create merchandise which can be easy, mild, and important. We need to decrease the limitations 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 reasonably epic Valentine’s Day show of flowers and balloons was by chance delivered to the entrance steps of our warehouse. Sadly, we had been unable to trace down the true recipient of the present. We’ll by no means know if Shelia discovered that her finest good friend Ted has been quietly in love together with her for the final ten years. However 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 via the eyes of minimalism. How can we remove what’s pointless to lighten our load? The place can we lower grams for a extra comfy trek within the wilderness?
However, what if our quest to go lighter doesn’t need to be finished via such aware intention? What if we are able to 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 mild that it’s going to elevate our clients 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: Whereas different hikers are busy slicing grams, you gained’t even really feel the load of your pack as you butterfly stroke your means via the air. The Floaty will hold you buoyant, even on the hardest trails.
We all know you’ll love this pack. Plus, in case you ever discover that you just want slightly further elevate, 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 brand new firm slogan has a pleasant ring to it, eh?
We’ll be rolling out this helium-filled cloth know-how in a few of our traditional favorites just like the Mariposa 60, Kumo 36, and G4-20.
And we’ll hold innovating, searching for practical new designs and coloration waves that meet the wants of our mountain climbing group, like we just lately did with our Loris 25 in Tropical Mist and the Quick Kumo.
