Hello,
has anyone out there created hip belt pockets for their Golite Pinnacle. If so can you post a pic so I can get some ideas to create my own? Much appreciated, thanks.Mar 28, 2009 at 10:23 pm #1489508I am also looking to make some. Anyone make their own?
Mar 31, 2009 at 10:00 pm #1490253I'm sorry this isn't exactly what you are both looking for, but for design ideas you may want to check out MountainLaurelDesigns pack pockets. I ordered two of the size medium (4"x6") from them for my PCT thru-hike this year and they fit perfectly on the hip-belt wings of both my Golite Jam2 and my Pinnacle packs. They can easily be sewed or safety-pinned in place to keep them from sliding around while you hike or when you take your pack off. As a bonus, they are made from the same material as the Golite bags and look pretty good (just a tad lighter than Golite's "grease" color).
For a capacity example, one of the medium pockets can easily fit my small Canon digital camera, a tube of chapstick, and my Leatherman Squirt with room to spare.

Ditto that suggestion, except mine is not too small.
It makes a convenient container for camera, ditty bag, FA kit, water purification stuff, TP (don't let Clelland read that:-) and other personal hygiene items.
And topped with a 4x4x1.5 inch piece of open cell foam it makes a very usable pillow.

It was the perfect length for the hipbelt space I had (I'm skinny so it's small). Two pockets, one main one keeps my camera and another one has a fleece-y lining that's meant to carry sunglasses. I cut it up to save weight and sewed it on with dental floss. It's perfect and cost was only $5.
