Awesome Pack

This pack has been great as a backcountry daypack due to to its abilty to stuff itself quite small. The only issue I have with it, and other people have addressed it before, is that a nalgene will slip out of the side compartment at times depending on how everything is packed.

Awesome pack. Looks good, very lightweight, holds my gear. Only issue is the water bottle compartment. Holds a 32oz Nalgene, but doesn't have any elasticity on pocket - so it can easily fall out. Not a deal breaker, but the only reason it didn't get 5 stars.
Stellar Pack...

I'd all but disintegrated my old daypack from 3 years of trail and city out-and-abouting abuse. My girlfriend got me this pack for Christmas and it's been so great to use thus far! I took it snowshoeing in RMNP and on several day hikes since and it swallows all of our cold weather layers, holds extra gear with all of it's lovely webbing and loops as well as sits a whole lot more comfortably on my back than I thought it would! I love the idea of doubling as a compression sack.... I would only suggest swapping out the cord locks for each set of cord webbing, though, as mine always wanna pop off when I cinch them down as tight as I'd like...

Fantastic pack, stuffs up in almost nothing. Great to throw in your larger pack for walking around when traveling. Also, fits perfectly in a bike jersey pocket for picking up groceries on the way home from a ride without having to carry a sweaty pack through your whole ride.
Careful though: put a DSLR and a lens in there without a rain shell or something as padding and it's gonna jab you in the back all day. Would be perfect if it had a little more structure to it when in use, but that's the trade-off for portability I guess.
VERTO, I HEART YOU VERY MUCH

OH Verto, You are the Bomb
I couldn't say this with enough Aplomb.
That is why I have written this song.
Everything is right about you nothing is Wrong.
When it's summit or plummet you are my queen.
The best on route pack that I've ever seen.
With perfect design, minimal and clean.
You help me send the gnarly and mean.
From the Himalayas to Alaskas big walls.
From Yosemite to Zion or wherever duty calls.
You are the dreamy pack that I always need.
My love for you is deep, true yes indeed.
And when I need groceries,
Or to cary some Schwag.
Well For those Uses.
Your also a GREAT BAG.
Fantastic Pack
Szczepan Obrzut

Summary: Great pack, very versatile, durable, useful. Two minor details that are annoying.
I bring this pack on every outdoors trip I take, whether its two weeks of backpacking, a couple of days of skiing, a day of rock climbing, or anything in between. It weighs next to nothing, takes up almost no space when packed, fits enough for a day hike or a day of climbing, and can be very meta. It's held up to four seasons of abuse so far, and looks like it will continue to do so.
I do, however, have two gripes with the pack.
The first is the water bottle compartment. The fact that there is only one means that when your bottle is full, the pack tends to be a little strangely balanced. This isn't a dealbreaker by any means, but it can be uncomfortable and difficult to adjust at times.
Likewise, depending on how the rest of the bag is packed, nalgenes have a tendency to slip out of the compartment after a while. Needless to say, I think that The North Face needs to put a bit more thought into this.
My second problem is the fact that the webbing is shiny smooth. Normally this might be a good thing, but in this case it means that however you adjust any of the straps, they will loosen over time. When you're just walking, this is an eventuality after an hour or two. If you ever end up running, this takes place in a matter of minutes. Again, this isn't awful, but it can be an annoyance. Now that the pack has seen some use and the webbing is a tad dirty, it doesn't happen quite as quickly.
One last thing, is that this pack is not waterproof at all. This becomes a problem if you don't have a drybag in everything beyond light drizzle. I think I'm going to try to treat it with some DWR and I'll post on the efficacy of that after I test it.

Where is the hydration port on the Verto 26? I received one as a gift and for the life of me don't see any route of egress from inside the main compartment except out through the main opening. Is it possible mine is an older model or something?

I have been in the market for a summit pack for a long time, most are just too small. The Verto is nice and roomy, tho it is ment to be a summit pack there are times when you need more space, winter clothing, climbing gear etc...
So far have used it once and was pretty happy. The top pocket in the lid is pretty handy as is the pouch it stuffs into, when the pack is unstuffed this pouch turns into a handy internal pocket. Placing a sit pad inside against your back helps make it more comfortable and gives a bit of structure or support when you have a heavy load.
Very Light Summit Pack
Ryan Hamilton
Member since
If you're looking for a light, no frills summit pack, then you're in luck. This pack is super light, 13 oz, and packs down fairly small. 1"x4"x6". The straps are all very narrow, 3/4" webbing. Buckles are all small and light. Minimal padding on the shoulders. It has a zipper pocket in the top lid and an open, nalgene size pocket on the back. No padding or frame sheet on the back so be aware that what you stick in the pack may be jabbing you in the back. I had a shell in there that I packed along the back and it kept my extra water and other bits from causing any discomfort. Ultra light backpackers will probably love this pack. The 26 liters seems to be accurate for size. I've only used it once so I can't speak to any durability questions but the material and construction seem to be of a very high quality.
Could anyone tell me the actual measurements...
James Morgan Ayres
Member since
Could anyone tell me the actual measurements of the pack straps on the Verto measured from where they attach to the pack to the end of the padding?
I have a problem finding rucksacks with straps long enough. Im a bit thick through shoulders and back, some say head also. I wear a size 48 jacket, and many pack straps fit me so that the buckles are right in my armpits, total misery.
A Backcountry Must Have
Dave Madsen
Member since
I have always struggled between either using the undersized top pocket waist pack off my big pack or packing in a seperate pack when headed into the backcountry. This pack has solved that problem completely. It carries well and I found if I throw my thermarest lite seat (http://www.backcountry.com/therm-a-rest-lite-seat-camp-chair#review_200110152) inside along the backpanel it makes it even more comfortable. I can't think of very many trips that I won't be bringing this along, in turn it is a must have.

does the north face verto have a place for a water bladder inside the pack and if so how big of water bladder can it hold.
Arthur Debowski
Member since
It does not have a dedicated pocket for a hydration bladder but does have an exit port so you can run a tube out of the pack from a bladder that is in the pack.
Dave Madsen
Member since
It also has a reservoir hanger inside the pack, I have put a 100oz reservoir inside without a problem.
Perfect pack
und4541650
Member since
I took this pack on a recent trip overseas. I was gone for a month and so it was perfect since it stored in its own pouch and I was able to shove it in my check baggage. I used it every day for everything from carrying a laptop and other daily necessities to backpacking and rock climbing. It held up very well and I had no issues with durability. It also did really well keeping everything dry in some light rain. I would highly recommend this pack for anyone looking for a compressible pack.
Awesome idea, not burly

Great top-loader for alpine trips. You can use it as a stuff sack in your approach pack and break it out for light is right summit attempts.
I've tried multi-purposing this pack and using it for long trad multi-pitch, but you have to be careful with it here. It performs only mediocre in this role. No chimneys and no hauling for sure. After a single route, the pack developed 2 small holes in the nylon where it had scraped against sandstone. I patched them and took it as a lesson to not overuse this pack.

James Jenden

Does it come with the cording on the front?
Peter Kaminski
Member since
It comes with two pieces of cording that are in the top lid pocket. You can lash them anywhere you want on the pack. They're not elastic or shock cord, basically just nylon cord with toggles for tightening or loosening.

Is there only one side pocket? If so, why not two?
Peter Kaminski

It has only one, and it's to save weight that it doesn't have a second!
Nadav Herman
Member since
I do not agree with Peter. the Verto is a summit bag ( you pack it in your backpack and on the day when you do you summit approach you use the pack ) so you do not need allot, one side pocket is good. you do not want to pack a lot it is minimalist type of a bag
