GoLite Jam (2009) Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

Updated for 2009! Designed specifically for fast-moving, experienced, lightweight devotees, the GoLite Jam provides reliable performance while weighing in at just over one-and-a-half pounds! By stripping away all but the essential features needed for comfortable support, the Jam effectively carries loads of up to 30 lbs., enabling you to make the most of daytrips and ultra-fast-packing multiple-day trips.

The Jam is available in two different torso sizes with packbags offering 3100 and 3300 cubic inch capacities, respectively. Adding versatility, GoLite's patented comPACKtor compression system enables the Jam to efficiently cinch down to accommodate far smaller loads. Integrated compression anchor clips snap easily into place, reducing the profile and depth of the pack for shorter trips and lighter loads. Side compression straps further enhance the compressibility of the packbag. NOTE: The Jam does not have a traditional overlapping lid. An extendible spindrift collar protects the interior of the Jam from the elements. The collar rolls down and cinches closed with an integrated, buckled compression strap to accommodate varying loads.

A removable foam framesheet provides the Jam with barebones cushioning. Breathable padding on the shoulder straps lends comfort and combat heat build-up while carrying heavy loads. An angled hipbelt further enhances carrying comfort and ensures proper fit. Cutting-edge Dyneema construction provides the packbag of the Jam with optimal strength, flexibility and abrasion-resistance.

A large zippered front pocket offers an organizational option to the Jam's large main compartment. Other special features include trekking pole loops and two large elastic mesh water bottle pockets. Built-in tube exit ports and a narrow lined internal pocket that accommodates most hydration bladders (not included) make the Jam hydration compatible. Providing valuable assistance in emergency situations, the buckle on the sternum strap doubles as a whistle.

Constructed of Dyneema Gridstop and 210D double ripstop Nylon fabrics, the GoLite Jam is available in Med (torso lengths ranging from 17.5"-19.5") and Large (19.5"-21.5") lengths and your choice of Night, Coriander or Sapphire color options.
