What pad is best used with a 09 Jam?
I do not like the burrito method as it tends to round the back of the pack and pull it away from my back… or at least that’s my experience with a full leanth Ridge rest.
I have a full length RR qnd T-Rest Ultralite. The ultralite is heavy though.
So what pads work against the back of the pack?
Zrest?
Or RR cut into sections? And if the RR, how did you go about cutting yours and reconnectin it?
Any other pads I am not hitting on?
Thanks,
Tom
If you have the Z-lite short pad, then just fold the pad so that there are three panels on each side and it slides inside the pack perfectly against your back, the height and width are ideal and I think the thickness of the folded panel only cuts into about 2" of interior room. Then just fill in your pack behind the pad and compress.
The nice thing about this is the pad contours to your back and you get good contact against your back unlike the burrito method which tends to create an awkward shape with limited contact. I own the '09 Jam and that is my setup and it works great, just remove the included foam back pad from the sleeve as that becomes redundant.
