The North Face Pivotal/Catalyst 60 Backpack - 3700cu in

Item #TNF0945 | 0 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Pivotal 60

By Ranked #489 - Weekend Packs (3000-4500 cu in) July 1, 2004

I just got back from a short 4 day trip this weekend using the pivotal 60. It was amazing--I had previously been using a fifteen year old Kelty external frame. There is absolutely no competition--when going up inclines the pivotal suspension moves perfectly with your hips keeping the pack from annoyingly shifting from side to side. While not the lightest pack, I highly recommend it for its comfort level.
