This is one of the best buys I have ever made. Who needs a heavy rucksack when backpacking. I have recently used it as a second pack on an 18-month roiund the world trip, as a daypack and for backpacking throug Continue reading...

What a great pack for multiday or winter backpacking. The huge volume, coupled with the lightweight and simplicity make this a great alround pack. Use of the side compression straps and clips enables this pack Continue reading...

this is a great pack, weighs less than a third of my lowe alpine pack and volume wise holds a little more.

No lid pocket worried me at first, but the back pocket is big enough for waterproofs, first aid etc, Continue reading...

I stated Lejog with this pack in 2010.It fell to pieces before I reached Chepstow. The shoulder strap stiching pulled out and I had to fish the strap throuh a hole and Knot it. The so called stiff interior plastic stuff collapsed and turned into a corrigated sheet. And no,the pack was not overloaded.My wife met me with my old Lowe Alpine Appalachian 60+15 wich was heavier, but for more comforable to carry,and I completed the rest of the walk with it.I would avoid these lightweight gimmicks in future. They are just not robust enough. 2 stars

Bummer. Chris Townsend had problems with his 2010 Pinnacle too.  He rated the older onefor durabilty though

I have an older one (2007/8?) which has done hundreds of miles and is hardly worn.

The back 'stiffener' is pretty useless - I use a loosely rolled karrimat as a 'tube frame' or a folded thermarest

Damn, you can get one for 60£ on line at the moment and I thought it would be ideal to upgrade from my cheap Hi Gear 65l...

Anyone has a good word to say about it?
