It appears that the whole site is having a problem. I can't even get to their home page or any page for that matter.

Thanks for the discount code. I've been eyeing one of the new 2011 backpacks they recently released for sale.

That's what happens when 10 000 HF members try to buy something at the same time. Crash........ I want a new Quilt!!!!!!!!!!

The site is coming up with a runtime error. I have bought enough stuff lately, but it's hard to pass 40%.

I also have one of the Ultra 20s. Not sure if it is the older or newer, it seems to have pretty close to the overall rated loft to me. Still not sure if I could do 20 in it without some puffy clothing. Certainly 25 or 30.

But, what's the deal with the 40* quilt weighing about the same as the 20* rated model? Mine long quilt only weighs ~21 oz.

anyone ever use the pinnacle pack. It looks like it might fit my needs probably more then my needs but how does it ride.

I really like mine. I probably don't ever carry over 20-25 lb with it, and it carries great with those loads. But it has enough volume ( ~ 4000 ci ) to allow some of that weight to be bulky. I most often use my MMP these days, I got both packs about the same time. But the Pinnacle works good and is the lighter approach.

I carry a pinnacle and have no complaints. Rides well took it to Gregory Bald last June 21mi with a 4000' climb in two days. Legs hurt but back was in good shape.

the site seemed to be having issues yesterday as well.
eventually I was able to add an item to the cart and check out.
took a while though, with the disco it was worth a little bit of annoyance.

I've used my Pinnacle pack once and I liked it. Gonna use it again on my next trip.

I have a short version of the Ultra, and the down seems fine. I got it for the kids, but I can barely use it (had it on the Goose Creek trip). I'd like a regular sized one for me, though.
