The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack - 3650-3950 cu in - 2007
If you're among the lot in the real world and can't always sneak away for more than a weekend, this is the pack you'll want to get. You can fit everything you need for a few days kicking through the backcountry in this bomber pack. The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack is a versatile pack for weekends in the woods, light mountaineering, or weeks of crashing in hostels. It's easy to adjust for comfortable carrying and easy to load though the top or side access panel. The X-Frame II suspension system floats on your hips and is pretty light on you wallet too. Of course it's loaded with North Face features including a removable hood that doubles as a lumbar pack, a separate zippered sleeping bag compartment, canted side water bottle holders, dual daisy chains and hydration compatibility.
The North Face Crestone 60 backpack has plenty of space for all your gear on a long weekend or short week excursion! This is the second pack I have bought from North Face and they are definitely the most comfortable packs to wear that you will find. The extra wide and padded hip belt and shoulder straps will keep even the heaviest loads comfortable to pack around all day!!
I've taken this bag on hosteling trips across Israel and E. Europe and on weekend trips in the woods. It's great. Here's the breakdown: Pros: Lots of room for a mix of conditions; lots of hooks and latches for attaching bags and extra gear; detachable hood great for eliminating that second bag; front access lets you get at all the gear without pulling everything out; 'sleeping bag' compartment doubles as a great space for dirty clothes/shoes; very adjustable harness balance most weight at waist Cons: fair amount of back-to-panel contact means it can get sweaty; some weight rests on shoulders; water pouch, when full, takes up a fair amount of space (just use bottles); not the lightest bag on the market
I took this pack on my first hike. Did about 15 miles and it felt great. Shoulder pads and hip pads made for an easier time. The ties really allow you to make the pack snug and compress all the weight. Definitely recommend this pack.
