Hikers who love our packs on long trails will feel right at home in the Loris 25, a daypack loaded with your favorite Gossamer Gear DNA. Its over-the-top closure system provides security, while the vertical zipper opens wide, allowing for direct access to gear in the main compartment.

Our Verdict

The Loris is a smaller version of the Mariposa pack, ideal for day trips or commuting. It can also be used as an overnight pack for lightweight camping. The bag has a comfortable harness, a large vertical zip for easy access to the interior, and two stretchy water bottle pouches. The pack also has two zippered pockets and a large stretchy mesh pocket on the front. The padded back is removable and can be used as a seat pad.

Gossamer Gear has recently overhauled the Loris to align it with their updated backpacking product line. The pack’s construction has been improved with the use of 70D Recycled Robic Nylon PFAS-free, a material that enhances durability and repels water effectively.
