The North Face Backtrack 80 rolls into town

Are you looking for a spacious adventure travel pack with an easy access removable daypack? If the answer to that question is yes, and I'm sure it is, then look no further than The North Face Backtrack 80. It has an ergonomic contoured shoulder harness, giving optimum comfort and stopping any of those niggly aches and pains that can be encountered after a long days trekking. The Air mesh back panel ensures you won't be suffering from 'sweaty back syndrome' and the tuck-away hipbelt provides a stable and secure fit.

The Backtrack 80 really does cover all bases, theres no three strikes and your out with this pack. (Sorry, I couldn't think of a non-americanised metaphor, I'll try harder next time I promise). The large main compartment gives an excellent gear storage space and the sleeping bag compartment has a wet and dry divider so you can keep your wet and dirty clothes seperate, because lets face it, who wants a soggy sleeping bag? The bags water bottle pockets makes sure you'll never be dehydrated and the removable shoulder strap provides you with a multitude of carry options.

The smaller attached daypack easily clips into place and again has a commodious main compartment with a secondary organiser pocket. The daypack itself holds 18L which is still a sizeable amount compared to the main packs 80L volume. Considering the amount of features you get with the Backtrack 80 it only weighs 2.865kg, impressive methinks! If the Backtrack 80 was a baseball player it would most definitely hit a home run! (Sorry again...).
