AMAZING PACK!!!!

Rating:*****

I have an older version of this pack but never the less, it's amazing!! I've comfortably carried enough food, water, and equipment to last a week in this bag at one time. Great storage space inside. Really love the Top, Front and Bottom access points. In my older version, the sleeping bag compartment opening was larger then this one. I've carried I think around like 50lbs+ in this pack. Make sure your load adjusting straps on the top are set correctly otherwise, the pack will feel like its all on your shoulders and not your hips. I still like my pack better then the new one cause in mine you had a better front access pocket and more storage space in the front pocket. I recomend this to anyone looking for an amazing pack for 3+ day long to week long backpacking/camping trips. It also works well for hiking in from basecamp to the climbing crag and carrying all your gear (rope, harness, shoes, helmet, a full rack), food water, and more. I couldn't ask for a better backpack!!!!!

"with this pack gazelles can be beaten in a race"

Rating:****
Ya this product is pretty sweet. I once beat a heard of gazelles in a marathon while I was wearing this pack. With its awesome comfort and support i took a shortcut through the african jungle to tell the tigers to feast on the prancing gazelles the tigers didnt eat me of course because me and the tigers r tight. So as I sprinted through the jungle I came back to the race and saw the gazelles being torn to shreds by the tigers. As I crossed the finish line while I drank water out of the resevoir I had placed in the pack I laughed victoriously and set up camp right there. P.S. hahaha I beat u Jon!!!!!!!!!

Nice Pack, Good quality, Solid purchase

Rating:*****

I bought it and have loaded it way down with all sorts of backcountry hunting and backpacking gear a few times already and have been pretty impressed with it. It is defintely well made and once adjusted and loaded properly will carry heavy loads comfortably. Did I say it was well made? This is the second North Face product I've bought, I also have the Flight bivy sack. I'm pretty picky when it comes to gear , flaws in quality I find unacceptable and frustrating when they finally arrive and pulled out of the package. This backpack did not let me down, it is a quality product. Money well spent.

Great pack

Rating:*****

This is a great pack, I really like it. There are plenty of places to store your stuff, the outside pockets are pretty handy for keeping little things for quick access, and the side access to the main compartment is really great. It has a lot of compression straps on the inside and outside to keep your load secured and close to you. The ventilation on the back panel is great, very effective. This pack is very comfortable, can carry a big load, and still feels great.

"Great Buy!"

Rating:*****
This pack has space hidden inside of more space! Everywhere I look there is a place to put something, and you can easily access everything at every point in your pack from various openings. It fits very comfortable, and the V-Stay suspension makes it feel light as a feather. This is a great pack, and on top of that I got the always lovely service and wit of the Moosejaw team...how can you go wrong with that winning combination!?!?! BUY THIS PACK!!!

"Awesome backpack"

Rating:*****
I bought this backpack for my fiance as a wedding gift. I haven't given it to him yet, but I am thinking that I want one now. The backpack is amazingly comfortable, has tons of space and extra storage compartments, plus it is adjustable so you can fit is just to you. The clasps are easily undone but hold everything in place perfectly and the overall construction of it isn't confusing.

fits all and a kitchen sink

Rating:*****

I used my recently purchased Crestone 75 twice already on trips to SC/NC mountains and have nothing but praise for its ability to haul stuff, comfortable fit, looks and finish. If packed smartly, you can fit clothing for several days, 100 oz filled hydration bladder, sleeping pad, light tent, sleeping bag (ultralight), compack stove and more and still hike for several miles without much back discomfort. Great pack indeed.

Perfect Pack

Rating:*****

I lave used this pack for about a year now (once an month overnighter). This is very comfortable and can fit all the stuff I usually end up taking on my hikes. It is extremely comfortable and I have never worn another pack like it. For the money this has been a great investment!
