The North Face Women's Primero Backpack relies on the trail-proven X-Radial suspension system, with crossed 7075 aluminum stays that pivot as you twist or bend. As a result, you spend less energy compensating for pack shift and have more juice to reach the summit. The EVA foam back panel cushions, breathes deeply, and resists odor. It wipes clean easily and retains its shape and consistency even after heavy abuse. The North Face designed this multi-day pack with a durable, water-resistant body, a waterproof bottom, and a waterproof hood to protect your gear from wet surfaces and rainy weather.
Bottom Line: The X-Radial-equipped Women's Primero Backpack coordinates with your every move.

Is the suspension system for TNF women's packs that much
Is the suspension system for TNF women's packs that much different fitting than for their men's packs? This will sound funny, but I much prefer the color of the men's Primero packs but am a 5'2" woman and am afraid a men's pack won't fit right. Are large packs designed for women really that much better for women?
Also, is there a rain cover available for this pack (I know the hood is mostly waterproof - but what about the rest of it?)

Im a 5'2" female with a small build.
This pack has now been with me for about two years and has travelled the country. I have lived out of it for over four months backpacking and working as well as taken it into the backcountry on extended trips.
Pros
I really like the roatating hip belt, how easy the straps are to adjust even on the move and the water proofing. Nothing I have ever carried in this pack has ever gotten wet despite suffering through several extreme storms. Also it was partially run over by a truck and there wasnt a scratch on it. The truck exploded my sunscreen which was in the top compartment but because of the waterproofed material even on the iside, it jsut wiped clean and none of my gear was damaged. I also like the expandible easy to use front pocket. This was super convienant but still keeps the bag streamlined so it does not catch on anything. Access is also excellent on this bag.
Cons
It tapers near the base, around the bottom zipper wich has caused numerous prblems for me in the past in achieving a balanced pack. The light coloured material goes see through when stretched, which though it has yet to happen always makes me very worried that the bag will tear easily. though the back supprt system is good, it still does not get small enough to fit me perfectly, though I have since adapted to this condition. The waiste belt pocket is only an annoying fraction too small to fit a standard sized wallet when travelling in cities. The top compartment does not detach to become a fanny or day pack wich would be very convieniant. The front pocket fabric is light in colour and does not clean easily. As a result I have an annoying bird poop stain that I cannot get out. On several occasions I have needed to attach something to the bottom of the pack. I would like to see it so the straps offer slightly more fexibilty for postition of such items
Are there attachable side pockets or pouches that will work with
Are there attachable side pockets or pouches that will work with this pack? I am used to small , easy access pockets for quick access of small items? Any packing hints to keep food, cooking and clothing separate?

There are side pockets available but I'd move up to a larger volume pack instead. Attachable pockets will give you about 700 more cubic inches which will move you into the next size category. They attach to the side compression straps. Check out this website for external pockets:http://www.granitegear.com/products/accessories/pack
