View Full Version : SMD Essence
Hey hey! Just getting ready for an 09 thru, and thought I'd try to downsize from my Mariposa to an SMD Essence. Anyone out there trying to get rid of one, let me know. Thanks.

Just an FYI, for you or anyone buying your Mariposa, GG will update / retrofit it with the new, curved 1-piece aluminum stays for $25.
Yeah, I just saw that on their website. I wasn't sure if it was worth it. I mean, advantages/disadvantages? Weight savings? Comfort?

Get the Essence. I wrote a review on their website. Awesome pack
Thanks to all who responded. I found an Essence, and will be united with it soon. See you on the Trail.

Adds weght, adds comfort, fits better, seems to carry more weight better.
