Description of The North Face El Lobo 65 Backpack - 3480cu in:
|
Wearing a hefty backpack can make you feel as quick and agile as a turtle. The North Face thought you’d appreciate a pack that moves with your body so that hiking over those rocks and deadfall with a full load is easier. The El Lobo 65 Backpack features The North Face’s new X-Radial suspension system: Aluminum tubes form an X, and the X’ s central hub allows the tubes to move forward and backward to match the sway of your hips and shoulders as you walk. Just because this suspension is flexible doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice support—carry 60 pounds in El Lobo without wincing. The North Face also gave this expandable pack a padded, breathable back panel for comfort and a removable hood that converts into a large lumbar pack for day hikes from base camp.
|
|
Bottom Line: Feel like a slightly weighted-down wolf instead of a turtle.

| Great Pack 06-09-09 |
| Scott Bowers (12): |
| This pack has very good support and distributes weight well. When it's fully loaded it doesn't feel nearly as heavy as it really is. It has great features, I'd list them but they're all up on the tech specs. It does have a mesh pocket on the right side waist strap that's pretty cool (perfect for a camera). Very comfortable on long hikes, the X frame is awesome. I think this is a great pack for a good price. |

| I bought this for my first pack. I like to get quality gear right off the bat. I figured that NF was a top quality brand and it's be a safe bet. Not so much. First day i had it, i was packing my gear to see how it would all fit and a zipper pulled off the sleping bag compartment. Another zipper pulled off the brain on my second trip out with it. Not a big deal but for two trips its kinda aggrivating. The really bad news is the frame is starting to wear through the mesh stuff on the back of the pack. For only having it out for a total of 8 days, its not holding up like i hoped it would. maybe i got a lemon but I dont think ill get another NF pack anytime soon. |

| An Excellent Purchase 05-29-09 |

| My old Kelty external frame was worn out so I began researching a new internal pack and came across 'el Lobo'. I bought it without ever seeing it or trying it on, which is silly, of course. But it has been excellent in the mountains of North and South Carolina. It distributes weight very well, and I've overloaded it on purpose with good results as well. The various gear pockets are great, offering flexibility and options for storing your gear and accessing it in different ways. It is rugged and handled rain on and off without a problem or a pack cover. I have not been in serious showers with it yet. To conclude: its versatile, tough, and well worth the money. |
