GOSSAMER GEAR KUMO 36 SUPERLIGHT BACKPACK

The Gossamer Gear Kumo 36 is the epitome of minimalist ultralight backpacking, designed for fast-and-light adventurers who prioritize simplicity and efficiency. Weighing a mere 20oz (medium size), this 36-liter pack is perfect for day hikes, overnighters, or ultralight thru-hikes. Crafted from PFAS-free 70D and 100D recycled Robic nylon, it’s tough enough for rugged trails while keeping sustainability at its core.

Designed for streamlined comfort, the Kumo 36 uses a removable SitLight foam pad to add structure without the weight of a traditional frame, keeping the pack agile and flexible. The breathable, adjustable shoulder straps and optional hipbelt ensure a snug fit for loads up to 20 lbs. Its simple yet functional design keeps you moving without unnecessary bulk.

Storage is optimized for quick access: a spacious front stretch-mesh pocket holds wet gear or layers, while two large side pockets accommodate water bottles or small gear. The 26L main compartment fits compact essentials, with a 10L external capacity for added flexibility. Like the Gorilla and Mariposa, the Kumo features a fold-over lid with a zippered pocket for securing small items like maps or headlamps.

While not waterproof, the Robic nylon sheds light rain, and drainage holes in the side pockets prevent water pooling. Pair with a pack liner for wet conditions. The Kumo 36 is the go-to choice for ultralight purists seeking a nimble, durable pack for short trips or minimalist adventures.
