The North Face Solaris 35 Backpack - 2150cu in
Too Small!

This is a one size fits all backpack. I have a 19" torso. I got the 35L pack and the waistbelt rode up at my belly button. the info at TNF states for 17-20" torsos, not true. i emailed TNF about this to see if the 40L Solaris had the same frame, and it does. the person said that the straps can be worn tightened up for shorter torsos or mor lax for longer torsos, but if i did that, the straps didn't sit right. i bought this pack for dayhikes, etc. if you have a small torso 16 inches then it would be great. otherwise this is a school backpack and nothing more. looked like a neat pack, but they need to make some different sizes. this is the same thing they did with the Terra packs which are pretty cool packs as well.
