Help identifying Golite JAM?

The only one with hipbelt pockets is the newest model.

Now that you have the new pack, get out the scizzors – and trim it down!

M!

is 1 lb 10 oz an acccurate weight?

I dont have a scale.

That weight sounds right, I have the Men's L in the '09 model and that is the weight, however take Mikes' advice and trim that sucker, all the excess shoulder strap webbing, waist belt webbing, and the hydration sleeve if you use bottles solely, that will save you a couple ounces right from the start. I think my pack is somewhere around 1lb 8 oz. now.
The axe loops aren't necessary if you don't plan on using them for their intended purpose.

Just make sure you find exactly how much webbing you may need if you were to gain a size or 2 on your waist or if you were to wear your pack with winter layers on, translation, don't go too crazy with the scissors.

After non-radical surgery, my '08 Jam2 weighs almost exactly 19 oz (19.06 oz) on a triple-beam lab balance. I removed the hydration sleeve, excess straps, various small plastic do-dad's and one of the ice axe loops. I also made a foam insert from a 1/2", closed-cell, polyethylene foam pad. This is a bit stiffer than the original and helps the pack to hold it's shape better.

One question: why do most of the manufacturers now put two ice axe loops on their packs when the vast majority of us only carry one axe, if any at all? Featureitis? Forty years ago, they only installed one and ice axes were just as easily carried then as now.
