Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

This pack was perfect for all my multi-day hikes. Plenty of space, durable, versatile, lightweight, and comfortable. The Opti-fit system was great for exacting adjustments and it made this pack fit like a dream. Streamlined designed minimized bulkiness and helped make my gear stay secure and distributed well. Large enough capacity for everything I bring (about 20.2 lbs.), and had enough cushioning against my back to prevent cramps and other pain. The only setbacks that I had were no outside clip-straps to hold down sleeping mat/tent gear. Not enough pockets/storage compartments, and the sleeping bag compartment wasn't quite as big as I had hoped. Overall a great pack, that worked wonders for all my adventures. Definitely consider this pack for all your outdoor trips! Big enough for all my gear and then some. Hands down a great pack.

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

45lbs. was about the max i would carry in this pack before the hip pads and shoulder straps break-in. With 3 days of food/ water this pack was extremely comfortable, and light. I will continue to keep 25-30 lbs loads for comfort. It is also water RESISTANT but, if you water proofed the outside it would be the ultimate all around pack. One downfall i did come across was the mesh material on the back padding does pick up pine needles and they are a pain to get out. Overall a great pack.

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

This is a really nice pack for the price, im used to an old external frame pack and this bag is much nicer. I really like how much capacity it has and how well it handles a heavy load. I threw in my gear and two weeks worth of supplies and it was really comfortable, amounted to about 45lbs. The side mesh pockets hold 48oz nalgene bottles well. Also tried the Aether 60 with 40lbs deadweight in the store and it definently wasn't even a quarter as comfy as this one. If you buy this pack you wont be dissapointed. Will write review after 1 month backpacking trip in a week.

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

I tried on 5 packs in the 60-65L range. Each was loaded with 30lb.

I'm 5'11"/170lb, and thought this was one of the most comfortable for my frame.

I haven't been on a trip yet, so can't say much else except that it is about 1 lb heavier than some similar sized packs...

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

Very nice pack. I am a big NF fan which is why I got interested in this pack. I almost didn't get it but it was so comfy I went ahead and bought it. Problem I have is fitting my gear in it. i have a sleeping bag, tent(strapped to bottom of bag) compression sack for clothes, empty one for dirty clothes, dry sack for food and food supplies (dualist and instant food), water purifier, ENO with the pouch connected on outside, extra blanket that folds tight and a few other small things but I find it hard to pack and keep light! but I am still working on new ways to pack it and to pack lighter the more I go the more I know what I dont use.

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

After trying several different packs I settled on this one for its overall quality, simple design, and affordable price. This pack has a sleeping bag compartment, a few extra loops on the bottom for strapping on extra gear, good back support, and TNF quality. The only real CON is its bulky, large hip pads.

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

This oack felt great after you set it uo right, carries a bunch of weight, started our 30 mile 4 day hike with 50+ ended with 35+ and no real back problems. only gripes are that this pack didnt come with a rain cover, sleeping bag compartment is a little snug and the hip belt kept needing to be retightened and it needs more pockets on the out side. but for the price you cant beat it.

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

Used this on a backcountry 3day, 2 night trip with my 11yr old son. Loaded it a bit too heavy for first use...50lbs. The shoulder straps had too little padding for this type of load. If you're planning on using for 30-40lb loads, you should be fine, anything heavier and you need to layer up around the shoulders as you will feel it. Other than that, excellent pack. Held everything from extra change of clothes, stove & fuel (MSR Pocket Rocket), filtration kit (MSR Mini) and dehydrated foods. Also has water bladder pocket and drink hose cutout with strap downs on shoulder straps, held 100oz. bladder perfectly. Hip belts were outstanding! While descending, loosened the shoulder straps and let weight drop to hips and didn't get fatigued. Love North Face products. Front zipper pocket nice, especially with expandable material. Especially liked side access zip outs to get stuff in middle of pack for 1st night so I didn't have to "unpack". Hiked 7.1 miles summitting 2 peaks in Rocky Mtn National Forest...worked great!

First time pack

Comments about The North Face Terra 65 Pack:

If it wasn't for the shoulder straps being a little thin for my liking, this pack would be perfect. I'm 6'2 with broad shoulders and have a 22" torso. I'm use to packs with a lot of padding but then, those types of packs are designed for heavy loads.

I tried this pack with 30lbs at the REI store and it didn't feel all that bad. I tried on other packs that were two to three times more expensive than this that fit perfect. They were marginally more comfortable, definitely not two to three times more comfortable.

But the two main features I like about this pack aside from the price are the extra tie downs at the bottom of the pack and the side zipper access.

Those tie downs can be used for a bedroll or even a tent and the side zipper access will come in handy because this bag doesn't have many pockets.
