The ideal pack for weight conscious backpackers and alpinists, extremely light and durable, the GoLite Pinnacle Backpack is a water and abrasion resistant ultra-light pack that can withstand the rigors of backpacking and mountaineering. Designed for the ultra-light minimalist, the Pinnacle is built with a comfortable foam back pad and hipbelt and lined with 3-D spacer mesh for excellent breathability and moisture wicking performance. A top-loading, roll-down design allows for the lightest possible design and still offers storm protection while a large front pocket offers maximum convenience at a minimal weight.

"Super light, works great for low and high volume loads. Comfy."

Rating:****
It's very light, comfortable and carried my gear and food for a week-long trip. It rides great with loads around 30-35 lbs. The large zipper pocket and hip belt pouches are great for things you need easy access to. The stretchy side pouches have a surprisingly large capacity and hold multiple loose items, including water bottles, securely. The stitching, straps and buckles are notably lighter than those on traditional frame packs,. I am more cautious about dragging this pack across rock or other rough surfaces, and handling it in general. I'm very pleased with the Go Lite Pinnacle. It's light, comfortable, works well at various volumes, and its low price can't be beat. Recommended.

"2009 improvements worth it"

Rating:*****
This pack changed a little for 09. It now has pockets on waist belt, padded waist belt, better fabric and much better padding for your back. I do the ultralight thing, and this pack went up 5 ounces, but I say its worth it. I had the previous model, so I can attest. Golite stuff rocks!

Best All Around Light Pack

Rating:****
This pack gets small, gets big, has clean lines, the right features, good fabric, and nice colors. If you want to simplify your gear and go light, this pack can do it all. I'd give it 5 stars but I haven't had it long enough to judge the durability.

Light weight and comfortable

Rating:*****
This pack is definitely for the golite crowd. It is light weight but has ample space for bulkier loads. It is well made and comfortable. Not a lot of bells and whistles, just a simple, light, economical pack.
