Gossamer Gear Elixir 20

Product detailed description

The Gossamer Gear Elixir 20 backpack is a new release from the American brand Gossamer Gear, part of its new series The Alchemy Collection. The Elixir 20 is the smallest model in this series and is complemented by the Murmur 36 and Mirage 40.

The Alchemy Collection

It represents a new generation of ultralight gear, where top-tier materials meet innovative construction. This collection was created with a clear goal: to push the boundaries of what is possible in the ultralight world, and it reflects over 30 years of experience. It perfectly captures the philosophy of the Gossamer Gear brand — "Take less, do more".

ALUULA Graflyte®

At its core is the revolutionary material ALUULA Graflyte®, a monomer (PE) free of surface treatments and adhesives. This makes it exceptionally lightweight, durable, and water-resistant, with no risk of delamination or fraying. The material is also highly resistant to UV radiation.

Made from 100% Aluula composite, the backpack offers an unparalleled strength-to-weight ratio. It is **30% lighter and 30% stronger** than high-end nylon fabrics.

Instead of traditional stitching, the collection uses welding technology that minimizes seams and increases overall strength and moisture protection. The result is backpacks and accessories that are not only extremely lightweight but also fully functional in demanding conditions.

ALUULA Graflyte® material is 100% recyclable.

Gossamer Gear Elixir 20

It’s perfect for day trips. The Elixir 20 keeps it simple—a main compartment with a roll-top closure, two side pockets, and a compression cord on the body of the pack. That’s it. If you need to keep some gear handy while on the go, I recommend purchasing the Shoulder Strap Pocket. The backpack has no back panel, making it perfect for "backpacking" trips by plane.

Backpack Size

The Elixir 20 is available in one size and is suitable for a wide range of body types. The ideal torso length is 42 cm.

Start measuring at the C7 vertebra at the base of your neck. The best way to find it is to bend your neck and feel for the first protrusion at the base of your neck. This protrusion is where you will start measuring. You can find the lower point by placing your hands on your hipbones on both sides and touching your thumbs together on your spine—it is located at the point where your thumbs meet.
