Gossamer Gear E-mail: Mariposa Sternum Strap change

Hi Info,

I just wanted to let you know that I was having a problem with my Gossamer Gear Mariposa’s sternum strap. I could not get it tight enough and thus the outside of my shoulder straps were pinching the flesh in front of my arm-pits. The elastic strap material and the length of the strap was just too long and I couldn’t adjust the whistle-side any more.

So I cut off the elastic and shortened that side of the strap so that the whistle-side could adjust tighter. My stitching is awful, but you get the idea.

That solved the problem for me.

Just wanted to let you know about this change.

Sincerely,
