    Hi John,
    Would probably depend on how much your carrying, use the Jam as my 3 season pack of choice & it has never let me down, only problem I noticed with the older model was in the shoulder straps hurting a little on long days, with the newer version this should not be an issue.
    Just had a chance to test out the new Pinnacle this past weekend. Volume is perfect for winter and all the essential & bulky equipment needed for frigid alpine conditions, was packing close to 30 lbs and this pack performed excellent, with plenty of room inside & outside for lashing gear. Padding in shoulders and hip belt was right on the money. Hats off to Golite on this one.

    John,

    You might also want to look at the Golite Trek, which you can still find on the Golite site. Holds up to 4600 if yo uneed the space. I love this pack and just bought an extra one. Weighs about 28 ounces.
