Description of The North Face Primero 60 Backpack - 3350-3950cu in:
|
Buying a pack that's deemed obsolete two months later is a bitter thing to experience. The North Face Primero 60 Backpack, however, is practically immune to outdatedness. Its sturdy foundation is The North Face's flexible X-Radial suspension, crossed 7075 aluminum stays that pivot with the twisting and bending of your body. The formable EVA foam back panel breathes deeply, cleans easily, and resists odor, and retains its shape through use and abuse. Durable, highly water-resistant shell fabric protects your gear from tough trail conditions, and The North Face gave this pack a waterproof bottom to block muck from seeping in when you set it down. A waterproof hood seals out light showers that try to soak your spirits and supplies.
|
|
Bottom Line: The lightweight, durable Primero Backpack moves with you, so you can move faster.

| It's advertised as "watertight" in Backpacker magazine and even a hose couldn't sneak any water in... well that's almost true. The fabric is incredibly durable, and water proof as far as I've ever taken it. The hood is completely watertight with a waterproof zipper to top it off. However, there is a long side access zipper down the bag that isn't waterproof.. and lets a lot of water in when it's pouring. Why The North Face would make a waterproof pack, but not include a waterproof zipper for the longest zipper on the bag is beyond me. There is a storm flap that covers it, but it doesn't help much. With that considered, here are the good notes- The frame is the most comfortable internal I've ever used. Although you can't really overload the bag or else the hip belts start to fail, around the 55 lbs and up range. Getting that much weight into a 60 liter bag is pretty tough for and average backpacking trip though. The 30 to 40 pound range is amazing! Rotating hip belt moves with you, great center of gravity, and the ventilation on your back works well. The zipper pulls are wonderful too, no little strings, but rubber finger loops. Great durable pack, that carries loads exceptionally well, but I wish they would have made it with a waterproof zipper. My experience for credibility- Trip guide for the past 4 years leading trips around the U.S.. |

| Used this pack in the Tetons 2 weekends ago and was very impressed. I was unsure how the expandable foam back panel was going to feel, but after 20 miles it felt great. This is probably the first large capacity pack that I have ever worn that did not create any hot spots while dialing in the suspension. The welded seams on the top and bottom of the pack are a nice touch and really eliminate the need for a rain cover. Carried very nicely with a medium load of about 40 pounds. |

| Ordered it and returned it. They attempted to make a waterproof pack but forgot to but waterproof zippers. I also don’t care much for the back panel. I know this type of back panel is popular and probably really nice but when ski mountaineering I don’t like the weight to be off my back that much. The bag is good for the price though if you don’t plan on getting in any down pours or if you don’t mind the weight a little off your back. |
