The top is always really lose when rolled due to so much extra space. I bought an OMM Classic 32L (yet to be used) as my 3 season pack just as the winter started to approach, when I think the Jam is a better choice and the extra space for warmer sleeping bag, Crampons, etc is welcome.<br /><br />I bought the Jam in GO Outdoors early in February for the bargain price of £35. I actually prefer the 2009 model to 2010. My dad has the newer one and it went up in weight by 100g with extra padding.<br /><br />The peak is bit big for me on a day walk and have been using the Terra Nova Laser 20L for the last 3 months.Steven Hornerhttp://www.stevenhorner.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-68490408565544321812010-11-09T17:58:51.842+00:002010-11-09T17:58:51.842+00:00I gave my old Jam away.

I got a Gorilla pack and will be sticking with it. But if I had seen the new Jam in the flesh sooner it would have been on my last walk instead of the Gorilla pack I expect. I do like the Pinnacle a lot but it is very large at 70L and unless you are hauling five days food and lots bulky kit the Jam is perfect for UK lightweight backpack. I don't rate the Peak as a multi day pack. It is my day pack of choice and very good for me as that.Martin Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719332121719827761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112930067834078369.post-52177269376392762822010-11-09T14:43:10.667+00:002010-11-09T14:43:10.667+00:00I've an old Berghaus 64zero that Ive used for ...I've an old Berghaus 64zero that Ive used for overnighters in the summer and as you state 35 litres is a bit tight.

I have the Pinnacle for winter trips and the OMM Jirishanca for the summer. Certainly it would be on my list if I had not bought the Jirishanca, which can be tight at 35 litres.<br />Markmarkswalkingbloghttp://markswalkingblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
