The North Face Pivotal 60 Backpack is a mid-capacity pack that breaks the traditional mold of multi-day backpack design. Featuring a revolutionary suspension system that actually pivots with the natural movement of your lower back and hips, the Pivotal 60 ushers in a new era of backpacking comfort and performance. Simply flip the pack over and the back panel reveals The North Face's feat of engineering known as the Pivotal Suspension System. The Load Equalizer allows the pack to flex side-to-side with the natural movement of your hip and back. You get superb balance from the evenly distributed weight on your hips, regardless of body position. Climbing over fallen logs, scrambling up rock faces, and leap-frogging your lagging trail companions will all be worlds easier with the Pivotal 60. Getting this system custom fitted is a snap as well—this pack has a fully adjustable torso length and an interchangeable hip belt to fit bodies of all sizes. Of course, the Pivotal 60 includes a host of high-end backpack features: a side-accessed sleeping bag compartment, a removable lid that converts to a lumbar pack, an expanding side pocket, double Hypalon daisy chains, adjustable load lifters, D-zip side panel access, side water bottle pockets, and an Airmesh back panel for awesome breathability.

Bottom Line: We wish you could virtually try on The North Face Pivotal pack online, because the instant you do, you'll experience a huge leap forward in pack design.

It only took me 4 years to figure this bag out. I'd been making the pivot system too tight all over the world. What a waste. Now that I'm in the know, I'm much more impressed. This system is very comfortable. Surely it would have been the industry standard if it's secret wasn't so counter-intuitive.
