awesome-better than 2 for 1. i almost bought one of these last year. The large size fits 4000-5500 cubic inch packs and we have GG Solo and Quetico packs so these are perfect.
FWIW-when i went to check out online i was able to use my dividend to pay for em!

Did ya see? The LINK function worked this time!
I have the XL size already, not currently reduced but used recent %20 sale. Not sure if I like them or not. Definitely less bulk than the plastic liners, but so slick it's not any easier to fill pack (at least in my practice session of cramming multiple sleeping bags into a pack to try it out). Also, I tend to "fill" my current packs and getting a good roll-down closure on that liner seems hard.
I'll keep playing with it and see where my $$ priorities are before trip number one this year.
No sign of dividend - gonna go check online.

Would this particular liner be too big for CCS Pioneer Pack? The liner is listed as 7400 cubic inches (38.5 x 23 x 12.5 in) and the Pioneer Pack is 4700 cubic inches (24 x 18 x 11).
How much extra capacity would be okay before it's too big for a particular pack?
Thanks,
Steve

These liners are meant to be "rolled down" and clipped back in the center. There should be no problem rolling them down MORE than the requisite 3 folds to be waterproof. The narrow plastic band that you roll down is about 1/2" wide, no reason you can't keep right on rolling if you don't fill it up.
