Hydra 38L Backpack - Women's

Out of Stock

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Backpacking Packs in stock than that.

Why We Like the Hydra 38L Backpack

Head off on your day-long missions with the Women's Hydra 38L Backpack from The North Face. Its minimalist design reduces weight while still allowing quick access to the contents of the pack when you're traveling long distances. We love the Dyno Lift System because it doesn't add any weight yet features self-equalizing, on-the-fly, adjustable load lifters for comfortable carrying through the miles.

Shoulder straps too big for women.

I love everything about this pack. All the innovations work well: super-light frame and fabric, functional load lifters, quick tug-open main compartment, gorgeous colors. But those shoulder straps are too fat, stiff and wide for women. They're men's straps on a women's pack. Not comfortable. Certainly didn't work for me, or my guiding clients who tried it on. Such a small pack does not need such heavy-duty shoulder straps. The load is carried on the hips, not the shoulders. The shoulder straps are (or should be) for balance, for centering, for keeping the pack in place on one's back, not for suspending the weight. TNF: please update this pack with female-specific shoulder straps (lighter, thinner, softer), and it'll be one of the best daypacks ever.
