Hi, could anyone advise on the use of a 3 liter camelback bladder into the Golite Pinnacle (large). I understand there is an issue with refilling a bladder with the pinnacle, which isnt that much of a problem as I intend to refill at camp. My main concern is will it fit in the pinnacle before I go and buy the 3 liter camelbak bladder. Any comments greatly appreciated. The hot weather is comming so I need to carry more water.

I use a 3L MSR bladder in my Pinnacle and my Jam2, no problem at all! Enjoy!

Hi Quigs,

I've been using the 3L MSR hydromedary water bladder http://www.paddypallin.com.au/equipment ... ry-3l.html for about 3 years now and love it (tough and durable; wide mouth, easy to fill - you do need to take it out of the pack to re-fill it but that's no hassle; excellent bite valve/hydration tube with lapel clip - I've never had any leaks and the lapel clip allows you to keep the mouth piece where you want it).

If I need to carry extra water I use a collapsible 1 or 2L Platypus water bottle - http://cascadedesigns.com/platypus/wate ... e/product; and for wine (sometimes that's just necessary! :D)? I don't think you can go past one of these! http://cascadedesigns.com/platypus/wine ... ve/product

'Sounds like I am giving Cascade Designs a big plug (all 3 products are distributed by them), but I have no affiliation with them other than being a very satisfied customer. I find all of these products great quality, relatively lightweight and reliable - none of them have ever let me down.

Cheers,

JB

P.S. I also have the Large size in both the Pinnacle and the Jam2
