Why We Like The Banchee 50L Backpack

The Banchee 50L Backpack from The North Face has been redesigned to provide you backpacking comfort, robust load stabilization, and intuitive gear organization within a lightweight design. Eight plus total pockets keep you organized and keep your essential gear easily accessible. These pockets include a cavernous main compartment, breathable beaver tail pocket for wet or odd shaped gear, tool keepers, and zippered hip belt pockets that are easily accessible while you're hiking.

Providing load control, freedom of movement, and a comfortable carry, the T6 aluminum frame and Dyno Lite System make easy work of backpacking long distances. The Dyno Lite System allows you to adjust the back panel on the fly while still wearing the pack and features a newly designed trampoline-style back panel for airflow. Additionally, this back panel is constructed with The North Face's FlashDry technology for breathable and fast drying comfort as the miles add up or as the trail steepens.

Supremely comfortable, well pocketed, lightweight pack!

Wow, what an awesome pack. The harness is extremely comfortable, and the "single strap" load lifter makes adjusting it super easy. Honestly so impressed with this pack - so much pocketing at this weight point. Usually you sacrifice organization / pocketing at this weight but, two lid pockets, front pocket, generous side pockets ,hip AND shoulder strap pockets - It's great! They thought of a lot of niceties - the single compression that loops through the front pocket - strap holders exactly where you want them for every strap - "rest point rubber" to prevent wear on bottom - stretch mesh pockets on shoulder straps - huge hip pockets - tremendous mesh side pockets with clips for when not in use. Seriously it checks all the boxes. A couple tiny annoyances - the bag's "neck" could be longer - there's a true floating lid (thankfully),so why not extend the material up a little further to allow it to "grow" if needed. A little narrow at the bag's middle, but there is a bottom access (with divider if you want to use it), so not terrible. Still great to have a floating lid to throw ropes / tent between the bag and the lid, but, would be nice to have it a bit taller. And, the "zipper cover" on top of the bottom access point could extend over the zipper a bit more for water protection. But, I use a pack liner anyway so, it's all good. Time will tell on the material, but the bottom is double layered. What an awesome, supremely comfortable pack. Doesn't get talked about at all, but, give it a shot if you are in the market for a weekend backpacker that's light while still being comfortable and having a lot of pocketing.
