The North Face Off Chute 26 Winter Pack - 1650cu in

Rating for this product: 5 September 17, 2009

for day touring this is the pack i grab. just the right size, weight, easy carry options. and, the white and black - penguin - color way jumps out visibly in a way that you would never expect. it somehow has the opposite effect than you would think and the white gets neon bright. easy to spot and be spotted.

Rating for this product: 5 September 17, 2009

i love many things about this pack but the biggest surprise to me is how the penguin color combo pops on the snow. i used it in really stormy weather and friends commented on it. i then lent it to a friend to heli ski in alaska. it popped out as well as any color did on the glacier - the white almost gets neon. when eyes on are critical this was an amazing help and surprise.

i have never had a bag that i did not give myself at least an extra 20 cushion when packing...until this one. the window in which this bag is comfortable is huge. it packs so small. i am finally saving the solarflare for true arctic cold and using this for winter trips. if i were buying one bag and were a four season camper this would be the one!

The North Face Atlantic Jacket - Women's

September 17, 2009

i agree with dave. i am a little bit messy, spill my coffee/cocoa combo daily but still roll with the white. it seems this fabrid sheds pretty well. i love the look of the white so i just wear it and generally hope for the best. this will repel dirt and spills and stay white better than most white will. the denim blue is really cute too though.
