I just bought a Golite Jam2. It was kind of an impulse buy; I was at the store, they had one, I bought it.
My pack weight, including ~5 days of food and a liter of water, is just about 30 lbs. I know this is the maximum the Jam2 is rated to carry. However, as most of my gear is pretty bulky, I have to strap my pads to the sides and my sleeping bag to the bottom in order to fit everything in.
I've never used an (essentially) frameless pack before, so I don't know too much about them. Would I be better off taking my 4700 ci pack (5lbs) until I switch out my sleeping bag and drop some clothing?
