Only recently discovered Gossamer Gear, and I’m kicking myself for missing out on the brand’s ultralight bags for all these years. Based on my recent experience with the Grit 28L Fastpack, which I used for everything from off-road marathons to hikes and beyond, the company is not to be missed if you’re keen on travelling light on your feet.
As the name suggests, the bag I’m reviewing here is a 28-litre backpack specifically designed for trail running and fastpacking. It’s somewhat of a cross-breed between hiking and running backpacks (specifically running vests), with some cycling backpack features (e.g. rolltop closure) thrown in for good measure.
