New Features

  • PVT Frame System

    Our Patent Pending PVT Frame system is designed to maximize your comfort on trail. The closed-shape aluminum frame provides rigidity and strength that matches your back's contour. It slips in the pocket of a pivot belt that fits you like a glove. Together, the system allows your pack to move with your natural gait.

  • Alternative Belt Options

    Available in multiple sizes, as well as straight and curved fits, this hipbelt hugs your body for optimum weight transfer. Say hello to less chafing and more comfort.

  • Redesigned Load Lifters

    The Mariposa load lifters have been redesigned alongside our new frame for an improved performance and better carry.

Product Details

Gear Notes

Named for the butterflies that can travel 100 miles a day. This world-famous pack weighs a little and hauls a lot. Recycled Robic nylon resists cuts and tears. Ample pockets make organization a breeze. The Mariposa is sized for big trips, bear canisters, and serious mileage.

An S-curve harness and load lifters provide even weight distribution, and you'll enjoy our signature PVT Frame+Belt: an aluminum, closed-shape frame and pivoting hipbelt that allow your pack to move with your natural gait for maximum comfort.

**Our Small Mariposa comes with a S/M Curved Belt. Our Medium and Large Mariposa comes with a Medium Straight Belt. The process for receiving another belt is to add an additional hipbelt to your order, swap it out at home, and then return the original belt for a $25 refund.

Backpack Sizing Guide

Sizing & Fit

For best fit, you will need your torso length, hip and waist measurements. 

Torso length:

1. Start at the C7 vertebra at the base of your neck. The best way to find this is to bend your neck and feel the first bump along the base of your neck. This bump is where you will want to start your measurement. 

2. Next, you'll want to find the midpoint between your iliac crest. To find your iliac crest, cup your hip bones on both sides and find the center point on your spine. This midpoint is where your thumbs should be pointing. 

3. Finally, measure from the C7 vertebra to your iliac crest. From there, you'll have your torso measurement. 

Torso Fit Illustration

Small: 16" - 18" 

Medium: 18" - 20" 

Large: 20" - 22" 

If you're in between sizes, you can: 

    + size down for more of a shoulder wrap and higher hipbelt 

    + size up for a lower hipbelt fit

Hipbelt Sizing

Hip Measurement: 

1. You will want to find your iliac crest again by cupping your hip bones on both sides.

2. Then, wrap a soft measuring tape or string around the top of your iliac crest. This will tell you your hip measurement. 

PVT Belt Sizing (Hip Measurement)
S/M Curved Belt | 28.5"-56" (72.4-142.2 cm)
M/L Curved Belt | 32.5"-60" (85.5-152.4 cm)
S Straight Belt | 26"-53.5" (66-135.9 cm)
M Straight Belt | 30"-57.5" (76.2-146 cm)
L Straight Belt | 34"-61.5" (86.3-156.2 cm)

Waist Measurement:

1. Using the same soft measuring tape or string, find the smallest part of your midsection—typically, this is 1-2 inches above your belly button. 

2. Measure around that area for your waist measurement. 

Waist to Hip Ratio:
Calculate your WHR by dividing your waist measurement by your hip measurement. 

If it is 0.85 or lower, you will likely need a curved hipbelt. If it is higher than 0.85, you will likely need a straight hipbelt. If you're unsure which hipbelt shape will fit best, we recommend purchasing both to dial in the fit. This is because everyone's anatomy is different.
