The Golite Jam2 pack was designed for those who like to go light and fast. Weighing in at 21.1 oz it is one of the lightest packs available from a major manufacturer. (There are lighter packs from some smaller companies like Gossamer Gear and many ultralight hikers will make their own packs which are extremely light.) With a capacity of 3300 cubic inches, it is well suited for 3-4 day trips . It also features GoLites ComPACKtor system wich allows the pack bottom to be compressed. This reduces the capacity of the pack to about 1350 cubic inches which allows you to use the pack as a daypack. It is constructed of dyneema ripstop and cordura making it a durable pack for the weight.
