GoLite Gust Pack - 3600 cu in

 Brand : GoLite
Item : GOL0017
The GoLite Gust Backpack carries heavier loads than its little brother the Breeze. But the GoLite Gust does this without sacrificing any of its minimalist, ultralight qualities. The GoLite Gust Backpack transfers some of the load efficiently from an anatomically contoured foam back panel to webbing hip belts. Hikers and climbers alike have been astonished at how comfortably this simple but carefully crafted system carries. Each of the Gust family of packs is top loading, has a top retention strap, and has an entire body made of Spectra Gridstop nylon. The pack is generously sized so that you can fit all of your gear, even on light winter trips. When your load is less bulky, you can trim the capacity by cinching the straps down.

GoLite Gust Pack - 3600 cu in



Golite Gust Stirs Up Dust!
Just came back from a trial run (18 miles, ~1000ft el change) overnighter with the Golite Gust. Had it packed with everything for my Grand Canyon trek next month, plus a few extras to accommodate the lower temps (about 30deg F lower than expected at GC). Everything fits with room to spare, rides very well, especially liked having the waistbelt so I could adjust the pack from time to time to allow some cool air when needed. Pluses? Gobs of space, very light but strong. Negatives? had to add outside pockets for water bottles, somewhat difficult to get top folded over to keep out rain. I was concerned about the fabric strength, but a 1/2 mile of bushwhacking thru high desert scrub with no tears or holes set me straight on that. Overall, best pack I own (makes #5 now in the garage), good for day hikes or crest trail treks. I Highly recommend it!

Recently purchased golite gust ultralite backpack. When I first looked at it I thought it was a little flimsy and might not stand up to wear, etc. Now have completed a 3 day hike and am very satisfied. This pack is big--all gear fit nicely and I was quite surprised on how light it was all loaded. The pack does need water bottle holders to make it a 5 star rating. I would buy it again however.


Go-lite Gust Pack 4800cu.in
This pack has revolutionized backcountry travel for me, and I don't use the word "revolutionize" easily. With up to 30 pounds, it's very comfortable, form-fitting, and stripped of all non-essentials. In consort with other lightweight gear, this pack is adequate for 7-8 day trips in the summertime, when you don't have to carry a lot of warm clothing. I have felt unburdened and liberated. No more being a pack mule.


Lightweight, maybe too much so
This pack generally delivers what it promises, but I'm not totally thrilled. On the first outing, a plastic zipper pull snapped off; this may have been due to the cold air (5 degrees F). I hope it was just an isolated defect. There is no sternum strap, which I would have added. Otherwise, I am satisfied, and I would buy this pack again. It holds volumes for its weight, although it is definitely not built as tough as my Osprey Aether 45.


GoLite Gust
Yes, it does have a hip belt. I carried this pack on a 6 day trip in the Grand Canyon, and am packing it now for a 6 day trip in the Paria River Canyon. It is sensational. Very strong. Keep within the weight limits for 2 reasons: 1 to save the pack, 2 to be going light in the first place. It is gigantic so space wont be the problem.
