The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack - 3350-3950cu in

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.

Bottom Line: Gear up for the weekend with the Crestone 60 Backpack.

North Face Crestone 60

I just recently got back from New Zealand where I did a four day Great Walk in the Te Urewera National Park. I hiked the 28 mile Lake Waikaremoana track and comfortably carried about 30-35lbs of gear up and down an 1185m bluff and other varying terrain. I love this pack! Although a little on the heavy side I was able to fit all my gear including: a sleeping bag (TNF Kilo), a few days clothes, food, first aid, emergency items, cooking supplies, two aluminum water bottles (filled), rain gear, and my heaviest item a D-SLR camera and gear. The pack fits securely, doesn't shift much, and is easily adjusted. My only angst about this pack is that after a full days hiking I felt strained in my neck and shoulders. All in all a great pack.

What is hydration compatibility of this pack? Is there a hole to allow a tube to come through to the outside? Is there a pouch and/or hanger on the inside for the water pack?

You can detach the hood/lid of the pack using the buckles. Under the lid should be another simple, but larger strap with a buckle that you can use as the belt. If you flip the inner tip (normally protecting the lid from rain) outward, you can have an easy-access lumber pack. I did find, however, that the lumbar slips often. It's not a replacement day pack, but works if you just need a small bag to carry around and don't want to be a two-bagger.

TNF Crestone 60

I bought this pack about a year ago and it has come with me on every camping and hiking trip that i have gone on. You will never regret this pack,it is insanely versitile and the perfect size. It has a great sleeping bag compartment built into the bottom that fits my Tressles great (A synthetic marmot bag, so it does not compress as much as down and still fits.) the only thing that i ever have to actually strap to my pack is my thermarest because ALL of my gear fits nicely in the bag. Once the sleeping bag is in, there is a thin pull string opperated fabric that divides the main compartment from the sleeping bag section, of course if you wish you can just open that up if you prefer one huge compartment. I own a Vario 23 tent (highly recommended) that compacts down to football size and just goes in my pack. but for any tent, you can take the poles out and they will fit in the bag because there are two holes in the 'floor' of the main compartment that goes to the botttom of the bag. all in all , not the lightest bag in the world, but you wont get a better bag for the price!

North Face Crestone 60

I purchased the North Face Crestone 60 Backpack Large Version from backcountry.com for a 2-day hike in Joshua Tree National Parl. I walked the California Riding and Hiking Trail for 36 miles. I had a pretty heavy load, I would say 30 to 35 lbs. The North Face Crestone handled it very well. I have to say that the pack itself is a bit on the heavy side (approximately 6 lbs). It is a good balanced backpack that offer a lot of adjustments. I am not sure that I carried it properly the whole way because my shoulders hurt a lot after the first day. I like the two side pockets where I had stored 2 bottles of water. It also has a sleeve for a hydration reservoir (mine is 2.5 liters), a large outside pocket that is easy to access (perfect for maps, sun screen etc...) and a few other nice features. One thing I am not a fan of is the sleeping bag compartment at the bottom: my sleeping bag is a North Face Cat Meow (Large) and I had a hard time inserting it through the bottom opening. When it was time to get it out, I couldn't, it was stuck (even though it had been compressed as much as I possibly could). So I had to take it out through the top, no big deal. Bottom line: for the price, it is an excellent weekend pack with plenty of nice features and built to last.
