GoLite Pinnacle Pack - 4400cu in

Item #GOL0322 | 0 in Stock

Does this thing have any rigid stays/frame? The Jam2 doesn't...

Does this thing have any rigid stays/frame? The Jam2 doesn't and I'm wondering if this is just a bigger version of hte same. For the price it's hard to go wrong, but I'd rather have some hardware to hold its shape.

This is basically a bigger version of the Jam. There is a removable piece of stiff CCF foam against your back but in no way is it a frame or supportive. One technique is to roll up your sleeping pad, insert it vertically and release. Let it open and then stuff your gear inside that cylinder. There are variants of this technique depending on your sleeping pad.

Simon, there is no frame in this pack, No stays or frame sheet at all. I reccomend going to Backpackinglight.com to read some of their really in depth reviews to see if this is the pack for you. They have some very lenthty testimonials.
