The North Face Prophet 65 Backpack - 3800-4150cu in
Light & Serious
By Kim Havell
Ranked #77 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
July 6, 2009
One of the lightest big mountain packs out there. You save a lot of weight with the finesse of this pack with its light material and hip belt. It fits and handles big loads- I just used this for hauling up to 100lbs loads up on Denali. It also cinches down much smaller..also with a removable top. A simple, uncomplicated and reliable pack for multiple mountain uses. The A-frame ski carry works great, with enough loops and basic extras to attach what you need externally. There is a hydration back sleeve internally, excellent strap adjustment system, and a comfy back panel. Save the weight, and get the goods!
