The North Face Terra 65 Trekking Backpack

This season's updated Terra Backpack proves once again that carrying heavier loads needn't be back-breaking. This classic trekking backpack, designed for many days on the trail, features a strategically-patterned back panel, shoulder straps and hip belt that are both comfortable and breathable. The large 65L volume eats up gear, but don't worry about having to rummage around at the bottom to find what you need; the two-way u-zip means you can open up the main compartment and quickly find what you're looking for. The cinch top expands to accommodate extra gear and the compression straps help you cinch it all in to create a more streamlined shape. There are trekking pole and ice axe attachments; it features an internal water bladder pocket and the large front pocket comes in very handy for quick access stashing of your shell layer.
