The North Face Prophet 35 Backpack - 2150cu in - 2008 BCS

The North Face designed the Prophet 35 Backpack with help from world class climbers Conrad Anker and Kit DesLauriers to ensure alpinists and ice climbers get just what they want. This streamline pack provides excellent support with dual aluminum stays, and the lightweight E-VAP harness system keeps you from sweltering on a hot approach to base camp. The North Face included two gear loops on the Prophet 35 Backpack's waist-belt to keep crevasse-rescue gear close at hand, and two ice-tool holders carry the winter necessities to your local waterfalls.
Bottom Line: Mountain ready.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I am College Student on a tight budget I am looking for a good pack that can hold all of clothing, water and gear on long hikes and outdoor trips. I noticed this pack is designed for climbers and although I am not an avid climber I really like the price. Would this pack be a good fit for me? also wondering about the fit I am 5' 11' about two hundred twenty pounds

Hey, I would not rule out the North Face Prophet 35 even if you are not using it for serious climbing....it is still a super clean design, lightweight and functional. It is a long time favorite in the TNF line for fit. I guess in the end you might let your budget decide for you... Good luck, hope this help.... cheers, renan

If you don't plan on using this pack for alpine climbing, I can't really recommend it for you- their are some sacrifices that you make with climbing packs (padding, suspension)that aren't necessary if you don't plan on using it for this application. Here are 2 packs that I would recommend more for hiking/camping:
-North Face Crestone
-North Face El Lobo
Hope this helps

I'm 5'8" and was wondering whether the size small would fit me comfortably or whether it would be too short.
Any advice? Looking for something to replace my small pack but be in between my larger pack size and small pack.
Thanks.

Much depends not just on your height, but on how long your body/torso is.
This page will give you a link to a sizing chart for TNF packs (based upon torso length): http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/prophet-35.html

This is a versatile pack that doesn't suffer from the the "too many bells and whistles" direction a lot of packs are going, and is a perfect crag, or alpine pack. This pack was designed for the alpinist who is carrying everything they need to survive on their back. The gear loops are great for spreading out the rack. While this is designed for alpine climbing etc, I've used it as a carry on, and a picnic supply transporter. Great light, well supported pack.

Hey Matt,
This pack would be too small for a 2-3 day overnight trip... you'd have a lot of trouble fitting in your gear needed for a trip of that length. If you are looking for a pack specific for a 2-3 day trip, I'd recommend looking into a pack that is from the 3000 - 3600 cu in range. Here are some packs that I've hiked with and absolutely love for long weekend trips:

a bit late but maybe the arc'teryx silo 40 will be great. i have the silo 30 and it is very comfortable, even with a snowboard and a pair of skis on it.

There are many good options out there, I use the Black Diamond Anarchist 42L which is both lightweight and has a backpocket for shovel and probe. Good ski carry and 2 ice axe holders. Quite big for the size and quite tall, so you might want to try before you buy. great suspension system and also has a insulated sleeve for drinking hose on the shoulder strap. There's also a version with included Avalung.http://www.backcountry.com/store/BLD0948/Black-Diamo
