Why We Like The Phantom 38L Backpack
Built for the most extreme day-trippers among us The North Face Phantom 38L Backpack holds all our gear without weighing us down. Whether it's an ice climbing expedition or all day hitting fresh backcountry powder we're never at a loss for gear with this bag. The bag uses lightweight spring steel to maintain its shape while the tough outer layer resists abrasion and weather to keep our tools in good shape.

Lightweight but poor design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight pack but at too big a cost - lack of pockets makes it super difficult to use as a day pack. Hooks don't keep ice axe, poles, other tools secure. Similarly, hook securing lid/brain doesn't stay put. Definitely wouldn't use again for expeditions.

Good product. No frills, basic and seemingly built well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This will not be my primary backpacking bag but will get used on overnights and some day hiking.

After one use it seems like it will be great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lightweight and feels very durable. Simple layout and plenty of space for a 2-3 nighter. After researching this bag and making the decision to buy it, I have also seen it on several youtube videos, recommended by people whose opinion I trust and respect.

A great bag for alpine missions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the bag. My wife and I purchased the same bags for our alpine climbing missions and it's great for that. We can fit about two nights worth of food/gear including our climbing gear with some things attached to the outside. That said, a few things that I would change #1 the strap in the middle on the front is incredibly long - I'm really not sure why it's so long - kind of strange. It also compresses the bag in a weird way in the middle, especially if it's not all the way full. #2 - the sizing is a bit weird IMO. According to the size chart I'm a S/M by waist size (5'10" 163lbs, 31 waist) however the shoulder straps end up a bit shorter than I'd prefer when wearing it. It works, its just not totally ideal. Going up to the larger size I'd be worried that the waist wouldn't get tight enough. Anyway, overall I'm satisfied with the bag. Has all the right features and it's super durable and light weight. Maybe the next generation will fix these small issues. Cheers!
