Am looking at getting a Jam before the super sale ends. All models have an extendable roll top. Can anyone tell me if the stated volume is for "rolled" or "extended".
I use a 44L pack now. I've got too much room in the summer and just enough in the winter. I am trying to decide if I should go with the 35L or 50L Jam.
Thanks
ChadMay 10, 2012 at 2:33 pm #1876359I'm pretty sure the volume is with the top up. Personally I would go with the 70 because you can squish it down to day pack size. By the way, I'm not sure Golite is really having a "sale" as much as a transition to selling direct.
May 10, 2012 at 2:40 pm #1876362I would get the Jam 50. The Jam 35 is really small, and the short extension caller is a problem. Even if the Jam 50 is a bit big, the compression system is good so you can squeeze it down.
May 10, 2012 at 5:09 pm #1876432I was deciding between the 50 and 70 and the 70 only weighs 30 grams more. It seems better to have the extra room just in case.
May 10, 2012 at 5:25 pm #1876439Sounds like I should go for the 50L over the 35. I would never be able use the volume of the 70, even when I go out with my wife or daughter and carry half of their stuff my 44L is more than enough.
Thanks for the input, it helped a lot.
