Description
The Pinnacle is the largest of three packs in GoLite’s Ultra Series, designed for the core ultra-light customer. The Ultra packs (Ion, Jam2, and Pinnacle) offer maximum comfort at minimum weight for minimalist fastpackers, thru-hikers, backpackers, peak baggers, climbers, travelers, and day hikers.
For high and cold adventures with light but bulky loads, the Pinnacle is designed for all-season backpacking, alpine-style backpacking, mountaineering, and backcountry skiing. It features a large front pocket with watertight zipper, foam back pad and hip belt wings, cord lock to secure the top, top compression strap, two angled side mesh pockets, ice ax loops, two side compression straps, a haul loop, and 3-liter hydration compatibility.
The Pinnacle uses GoLite’s ComPacktor system, which lets you reduce the pack’s volume through two fixed compression anchor clips that convert a multi-day pack into a day-tripper.

Here's what other sites are saying:
From Moosejaw:
"Free Shipping. GoLite Men's Pinnacle Pack (Spring 2008) Constructed of bombproof Dyneema gridstop nylon, the Men's Pinnacle Pack by GoLite is the ultimate large volume ultra-lite pack. Foam padding in the back and hip belt wings provides support, and Brock foam padding beefs up the spacer mesh shoulder straps to ensure long-lasting comfort. A large front pocket with a watertight zip and two side angled stretch mesh pockets provide easy access to stored items, and two side compression straps plus the comPACKtor system neatly decompress unused pack space for smooth hauling."
From Backcountry.com:
"The GoLite Pinnacle Pack carries 4500cu inches worth of gear at an incredibly low 1lb 9oz weight. This is a great pack for fast packers and alpinists who strive for simplicity in their gear. The Pinnacle Pack's lidless design helps it achieve its low weight and provides a clean profile. GoLite added a large front pocket to provide a place for smaller items like your extra pair of gloves. The foam back panel supports moderate loads and allows you to move freely as you hike or ski. The Pinnacle Pack also includes a hydration sleeve to hold your favorite 3-liter bladder and keep water accessible."

I am learning to go lightweight and this helps a lot to cut weight. I have packed it now ready for a three days hike up in high alpine. I have 21 lb now before I add water and food. I have enough space so I can even take fishing gear with me."
