Extremely light and durable, the GoLite Jam2 Backpack for Men is a water and abrasion resistant ultra-light pack that can withstand the rigors of backpacking and mountaineering. Designed for the ultra-light minimalist, the Jam2 is built with a comfortable foam back pad and hipbelt and lined with 3-D spacer mesh for excellent breathability and moisture wicking performance. A top-loading, roll-down design allows for the lightest possible design and still offers storm protection while a large front pocket offers maximum convenience at a minimal weight.

"I'm a comfort driven packrafter who is shifting to a minimalist approach and this pack fits the bill on both counts. It allows me to carry some creature comforts while keeping the weight down.

For warm weather trips, I have a base weight (everything but water and food) of 10 pounds. …"  Read Full Review »
