Good overall but not for my trip, one gripe with the day pack connection to the main pack

The North Face Backtrack 70 Backpack - 4250cu in

The North Face Backtrack 70 Backpack - 4250cu in

Rating for this product: 4 November 26, 2008

Its a very attractive pack, has good compartmentalization options in both the main pack and removable day pack, and neat small features and small pockets tucked everywhere (including the shoe compartment on bottom which can instead be zippered open to be included as extra room directly with the rest of the main compartment).

The included rain cover is really nice. It is comfortable on. I am about to set out on a ~7 month world trip and am finding that its just on the small side when all my clothes, tripod, sleeping bag, and gear are packed in (even considering I have a slightly more useful day pack in addition to the mini one they provide [it's pretty small] that I plan on wearing on my chest).

But ultimately, I think I am going to have to return it for a combination that offers slightly more room for my purpose. The one factor that pushed me over the edge, and that is more applicable to everyone's potential use, is how the removable day pack clips to the main pack. It just kinda hangs and can be moved around a lot and DOES NOT SEEM VERY SECURE in the least (especially a concern for airport travel in my case). It seems that the straps connecting the two packs could easily be torn or cut for that matter. Other companies like Eagle Creek (the Grand Voyage) and Osprey (the Waypoint) make the removable day pack not only clip in but entirely zip in, which is much more attractive to me.
