The North Face Terra 35

£60.00

LFTO rating
Owners' rating

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, which includes a large one in the lid, two bellowed ones at the side and two good-sized mesh ones below these, is excellent. It’s light, too.

Verdict: A versatile, lightweight pack with plenty of room and some useful pockets. Very comfortable, as long as it’s not stuffed completely full.

Capacity: 35 litres

Main compartment: Lid/drawcord

Back system: TNT Supension (channelled)

The terra 35 ticks most boxes in my book. It has great stability and fits realy well and feels close to your back, the verticool space gives reasonable breathability. It also has a removable stiff board that can bend for different back shapes (difficult to get right so once you have it comfortable leave it). It has lots of pockets and realy nice thick shoulders straps. It is bigger than other 35L rucksacks with ruffly the same space it looks like you can get more things in but maybe its my packing.
