Any News on GoLite's new Pinnacle Pack

I wondered if anyone has seen any information on this pack. I guess it is available Feb. 2007.

Hi,

GoLite’s entire 2007 pack line, which debuted last month at the Outdoor Retailer trade show, will be brand new. They took their current line of 28 packs and distilled it down to nine packs in three different series: Venture, Ultra, and Adrenaline. For the first time, eight of GoLite’s nine packs will be offered in men’s and women’s versions (thank you, GoLite!).

The Pinnacle is the largest in the Ultra Series, which is billed as “not just ‘lite’ but “ultra-lite’”, offering maximum comfort at minimum weight for the minimalist hiker, backpacker, climber, and so on. The Venture Series is called light, but plush and well featured and designed to carry heavier loads, and the Adrenaline Series is “not just ‘lite’; ‘fast and lite’” and made for adventure racers, ultra-marathoners, and fastpackers.

GoLite says the Pinnacle is made for high and cold adventures with light but bulky loads, such as all-season backpacking, alpine-style backpacking, mountaineering, and backcountry skiing. It’s top loading with a compression strap on top and a large front pocket with zipper. It has a foam back pad and is hydration compatible and has two side mesh pockets.

The Women’s version comes in Small and Medium and is 4000 cu in (compacts to 1300 cu in) and 1 lb 7 oz (650 g). Men’s comes in Medium and Large and is 4500 cu in (compacts to 1500 cu in) and 1 lb 9 oz (710 g). I don’t have the availability date, but it should retail for $130.

Also, keep tuned to Trailspace’s News section (http://www.trailspace.com/news/) as we’ll be overviewing all (or nearly all) of the new packs being offered in 2007 in the coming month or two, including the complete GoLite line.

Hope this helps.
