Looking Back at 2017 and Wishing Everyone Happy Trails for 2018!
Another year is coming to a close, and all of us here at Gossamer Gear would like to express a heartfelt thanks for everyone who has been a part of our community. It is a great privilege for us to get to read the reviews so many of you have shared about our gear, to see the adventures you take your packs on through your photos, and to have the opportunity to continue to improve and design the gear that gets you out to your happy place. Before we ring in all the happy trails to come in 2018, let's look back at some of our shared journey through 2017.
