The North Face Terra 35 (2011)

£105.00

One of the few packs to use a padded, channelled back system, and it’s one of the best. Although warmer than mesh systems, the channels do help keep the centre of gravity close to the body, making this more stable for those looking to move a bit quicker or even scramble. It also keeps the weight down. There is a ...

The North Face Alteo 25

£80.00

A great looking pack with lightweight yet tough ripstop fabric and a big bouncy trampoline of a back system. From behind it looks a little squat, with fairly broad shoulders, but once loaded up on your back it feels fine and stays secure without hanging too far off. The back system is one of the best at keeping the air ...

The North Face Spire 32

£89.00

A thin, streamlined pack, with a minimal feel, perhaps more suited to Alpine climbing than anything. There’s no clever back system or lots of padding to complicate things, which does help to keep the weight down. Its long, thin shape allows for a great freedom of movement. The climbing pedigree means that there are no side pockets for water bottles, ...

The North Face Terra 35 2010

£100.00

The TNF Terra 30 won a Trail ‘Best in Test’ award in July 2009, and this features the same excellent pack construction, durability and comfort levels that made it stand out in that test. It’s certainly not light, although you can easily save weight by stripping out the back stiffener and rain cover. The technology here is packed into the ...

The North Face Angstrom 25 rucksack

£75.00

A compact and comfortable pack, the Angstrom’s lightweight harness has enough padding for small loads, and although the back system is quite basic, it does keep the load close to the wearer’s back where it feels most stable. There’s a useful array of pockets, including one on the hip belt, which is perfect for small items like keys; and a ...

The North Face Terra 65 2010

£130.00

There are two broad schools of thought in rucksack design. Either keep things simple by offering a stripped-down back system to ensure the pack is light and functional, or go for comfort with an engineered back system that adds weight but makes lugging heavier loads easier. The North Face’s Terra 65 rucksack falls into the second camp. It’s not as ...

The North Face Remedy 25

£75.00

The shoulder straps are quite wide, and may feel uncomfortable for women with narrow shoulders. The hip belt has no padding, so will not feel as supportive as some. Roomy main compartment with zipped access and a compression strap on each side to keep contents stable. The mesh back system allows a nice flow of air and sits comfortably. Useful ...

The North Face Terra 30 2009

£80.00

The The North Face Terra 30 is a stable, indestructible rucksack with all the features a hill-walker needs. Although second heaviest in the test at 1756g, it still wins. If you take out the 316g back stiffener and 85g rain cover, it weighs 1355g, which isn’t bad for a bombproof bag with 36 litres of space, extra comfy hipbelt, unobtrusive ...

THE NORTH FACE TERRA

£75.00

Review: Good adjustment and heavily padded straps. Quite heavy at 1,890g, but proved as comfortable as any. The channelled back is stable and cool. The Terra is huge with a split main compartment that makes it a little like a small backpacking rucksack. It carries nicely whatever the load and has great pockets too, but some may find it just ...

The North Face Terra 40 2008

£80.00

This rucksack has an airflow back system; well-padded back and hipbelts; mesh wand pockets; side compression straps; stretch side pockets; stretch front pocket; lower external access; hydration system-compatible; lid with external pocket; tough; men’s and women’s fits. But 2200g is very heavy; three compartments may be more than some users will need; back system offers more support and padding than ...

The North Face Primero 70 2008

£185.00

The bigger the load, the harder it is to make it a comfy carry. It’s natural to want to backpack light, but sometimes you need a stack of gear lightweight sacks can’t hack. To carry 25-30kg you need a sack designed for the job. Cue the Primero 70. The North Face designers started from scratch with this sack, looking at ...

The North Face Ligero 35

£80.00

This 30-40 litre rucksack has a moulded back system with airflow channels and good stability and comfort; wide, padded hipbelt; stretch wand pockets; compression straps; front stash pocket; zip-top main compartment closure; two large lid pockets; removable rain cover (104g). But you might prefer a conventional lid closure; it’s surprisingly heavy at 1500g.

The North Face Crestone 75

£140.00

This backpacking rucksack features a moulded back panel that is perforated for improved airflow. The shoulder straps can be raised to improve fit, and the hipbelt is designed to pivot. On the back this felt comfortable, and it provided a firm, stable carry that was quite different to other sacks here. The body has slightly fewer features than some others, ...

North Face Terra 35

£75.00

It’s difficult to fault the fit of this Terra rucksack, which has a lovely long back and plenty of adjustment in the harness. The channelled back system is well padded and nicely contoured to feel great. This is a huge pack, but the channelled back feels very stable, so it carries well. Against it, though, is its weight (1,950g), which ...

The North Face Terra 40

£75.00

The Terra 40 is a rucksack for all occasions. As with many of the 41-50 litre packs featured in this review, it would be as at home on the hill as on a backpacking holiday. For your holidays you can access belongings from the base of the pack by a zip opening and separate the pack using a panel attached ...

The North Face Outrider 75

£165.00

This backpacking rucksack, which comes in men’s and women’s styles, is 2640g, which is a reasonable weight. It is based around a back system that is designed to transfer load onto the hipbelt. It also has open construction of padding to improve breathability in the contact areas. You get a removable hydration system holder with shoulder straps inside too. The ...

The North Face Spire 33

£75.00

To be fair this daysack has features more suited to the high mountains, so the lack of a ventilation system is unsurprising. The lid is removable as is the hydration housing, to reduce weight. There is a small snow lock extension at the top of the pack to help prevent the weather entering. The front of the pack has facilities ...

The North Face Terra 25

£60.00

This daysack from The North Face has a long back, stacks of padding, adjustment at the shoulders and hips, and a very breathable, deep, channelled back system, making it a delight to carry. It’s very heavy though, even when empty. It’s over-elaborate and more clunky to use than many, though, and heavy for 25 litres. The huge lid pocket and ...

The North Face Terra 35

£60.00

This daysack from The North Face fits well and you’ll enjoy carrying it. But it needed careful packing when very full, as it is easily pushed out of shape so that the actual back of the pack makes contact with you, rather than the foam padding. The Terra is a good size for weekend trips, and the choice of pockets, ...
