Anyone have any comments on either of these packs?
Currently own an Osprey Atmos 50, which I love, though it is fairly beat up after hiking the A.T. a few years back. Planning a JMT hike this year and have realized that fitting a required bear canister in the Atmos 50 is nearly impossible given the design of the packs "air flow suspension " system.
Basically, I am thinking of switching to pack that has just a straight up 'center console' so to speak, and the Go lite Jam 50 and the ULA Catalyst seem to fit the description. The ULA website says the Cataylast can fit a bear canister ( BV 500 or Garcia) horizontally, which is kind of exactly what I'm looking for.
Thanks for any info!
