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.

Jam 50

It's light and versatile,can be compressed quite small.The soft padded back is easily distorted, so it needs very careful packing to make it comfortable and stable.

Great UL Pack

I wear the Women's pack in size L as a guy, simply for a little added weight savings. As previously mentioned, great for loads up to ~30 lbs, but ideally more like 20-25. This is a no frills pack, but the compacktor system really helps, and this pack can be used from a simple day hike on up to a few day trip. No complaints here!

Excellent lightweight pack

Extremely flexible pack for an intro to ultralight packing. Durable, comfortable, and light. What more can you ask for?

2011 Women's Jam Pack

I have this pack and the 2011 Pinnacle. I use the Jam for shorter trips. I use a cut off Z-lite pad in the back and it supports loads up to 20lbs very comfortably. I plan to use it for a Tahoe Rim Trail thru-hike this summer.

Versatile Backpack

The backpack is as advertised. It is no-frills and lightweight but can carry all your stuff comfortably. The waist pack is comfortable and the straps help stabilize the pack. Also, because it is very light and lighter than most daypacks, I have sometimes used it even for dayhikes (I just compress the backpack as much as I can).
