The North Face Crestone 60 Backpack - 3650-3950 cu in
Perfect for backpackers
By Joshua Dormont
Ranked #866 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in)
October 10, 2007
I've taken this bag on hosteling trips across Israel and E. Europe and on weekend trips in the woods. It's great. Here's the breakdown:
Pros: Lots of room for a mix of conditions; lots of hooks and latches for attaching bags and extra gear; detachable hood great for eliminating that second bag; front access lets you get at all the gear without pulling everything out; 'sleeping bag' compartment doubles as a great space for dirty clothes/shoes; very adjustable harness balance most weight at waist
Cons: fair amount of back-to-panel contact means it can get sweaty; some weight rests on shoulders; water pouch, when full, takes up a fair amount of space (just use bottles); not the lightest bag on the market
