Design: Ultra-light frameless backpack
Size: 4400 ci.
Number of Pockets: 3
Max. Load Carried: 17 lbs
Height of Owner: 5'7"
Price Paid: $114.97

After 35 years of traditional weight backpacking and knee surgery this past winter I decided to put my gear on a diet and start going ultra light. I have backpacked over one hundred miles on the Finger Lakes Trail in upstate New York this summer and this pack has held up better than I expected and was well worth the money.

I have found the quality of the Pinnacle to be outstanding. The recommended maximum load for this pack is thirty pound; my pack was twenty-five pound using an external, so less than thirty pounds was not going to be an issue for me. Besides, if you're carrying in the neighborhood of thirty pounds I’m not sure you can call it light weight backpacking.

I would highly recommend this pack to anyone looking to lighten up their gear.
