Nice work Dave.
Out of curiosity, how long is your torso?
Sep 9, 2011 at 6:51 pm #1777954David, that looks awesome.
I really like the wrap around back pocket.Sep 10, 2011 at 6:16 am #1778065My torso is 20.5".
The wraparound pocket is key. I've found it great for everything from wet shelters to snowshoes to PFDs. I can put 2 standard nalgenes in each side.

Great job of a hackn'pack of the Golite Jam. I agree Golite should use Xpac maybe you should send some photos of the pack fully constructed. See if they buy the design. The only reason I could see them not using Xpac it is not made out of recycled material and dose not fit their Green Business model.But I could see them making a full recycled Dyneema Grid X pack with wrap around pocket as upgraded pack design.
TerrySep 10, 2011 at 10:56 am #1778160Great stuff, I also have a pretty heavily modified jam I should probably put some pics of at some point. Dyneema is definitely more robust then needed for backpacking, probably pretty great for bushwhacking though. Enjoy!
