GoLite Jam 2

A few changes for 2009, to quote info from the GoLite web site:-

Our classic Jam² is newly updated this season! Updates include new foam padding in the back for support, and Brock™ foam padding in the spacer mesh shoulder straps for long-lasting comfort. More storage options exist with the addition of hipbelt mesh pockets, granting easy access to food and essentials without ever having to take off the pack. Store larger items you want quick access to in the large front pocket and two side angled stretch mesh pockets. Reduce excess pack room as your trip goes on by utilizing the two side compression straps and the comPACKtor system.
 

I see that the weight of the Jam2 has increased from 610g to 753g

Will the next version be over 1kg?

I got one in Millets 3 weeks ago for £26 - the staff didn't know what they were doing with them! - got a pinnacle at the same time for £32!

 Boy was I a happy bunny! Bargain of the year I reckon

Hi - I have a Pinnacle which looks really similar. The review pretty much echoed my findings. The Dyneema fabric is awesome. I drag my pack through scrub with no concerns for wear and tear. I have had to stitch up the closure strap with dental floss as the stitching was getting loose due to cranking up the closure. I also have to pack it carefully by putting a soft thin layer of spare clothing next to my back, then the heavy stuff (food, stove, fuel)and then the lightest gear (200g rain suit) on the outermost side of the pack.

I've not been impressed with the closure in rain so have bought a waterproof packliner which allows me to increase the capacity of the pack. It is stated as having a capacity of 61L. I have taken it on 5 and 6 day summer trips and weekend winter trips with transalpine climbing gear. I wrapped my crampons in closed cell foam and had them at the top of the stuff sack on those trips. They have gear loops for ice tools. The compactor system is great for day trips as it makes it easier to find stuff in your pack.
