A couple of years ago I bought a Go Lite Trek, in an attempt to reduce the weight of my gear. Probably like the Pinnacle, it's frameless and just a bag. I've used it 2 or 3 times, but don't really get on with it. Although I use a sleeping mat rolled up inside to stiffen it and give it 'structure', it just ends up a lumpy, saggy mess. I also don't like the 'floating lid', which slips and slides around and often ends up hanging down. The hip belt is also very skimpy and not at all comfortable. I think there's been a redesign of the Trek since I got mine, but I think I'll go back to my Karrimor in future.
