Backpacker

Backpacker's Editor's Choice "Green Award"

GoLite has been honored with Backpacker Magazine's 2010 Editors’ Choice Award, for its extensive use of Tier 1 recycled fabrics.  Read all about it in the Press Release section of "The Meaning of Lite".

Dyneema®

Dyneema®

Dyneema® The fabric of choice for our standard-setting UltraLite Series packs, our exclusive Dyneema® Gridstop weave combines 100% nylon base yarn with Dyneema fibers to deliver the strongest, lightest, performance pack fabric ever produced. Dyneema fibers have a strength-to-weight ratio that is 15 times better than high tensile steel, making this fabric incredibly difficult to tear.

comPACKtor™

comPACKtor™

The comPACKtor™ system makes your pack far more versatile by enabling you to reduce your pack's volume through the use of two fixed compression anchor clips and adjustable side compression straps. With the comPACKtor™ system engaged, your pack is instantly transformed from a lightweight multi-day carrying system into a day-tripper or peak-bagger with smaller profile and volume.

Recycled Content

Recycled Content

Our newly developed Tier 1 recycled polyester and nylon materials test to the same high standards as their conventional, non-recycled alternatives.  We use them whenever possible because of the massive reductions in energy use and resource consumption required to produce them vs. the virgin, petroleum-based alternatives.  More information can be found under ‘Performance Technology’ within ‘The Meaning of Lite’ section of this website.

Very nice

Really nice, like the review above me said a great entry level pack. You also dont have to worry about it like the super expensive $200 ul packs out there, its tougher than them.

The Jam is the ultimate entry level ultralight pack!

I bought this pack as the first step in going "ultalight." Since I sized my pack down I have been forced to re-think how much stuff I actually need. It has been my experience that no matter how big the pack, most people always fill it up to the max. However since buying the Jam I have further downsized my packload and am now down to 10lbs base. I have scrapped this pack over rocks and scrambled thru crags with no wear and tear for the last 4 years thanks to the dyneema weave throughout the pack. This is a wonderful lightweight pack, no wonder NOLS uses this in their lightweight backpacking course.
