The Prophet 65 is The North Face's premier lightweight alpine assault pack for heavy loads. The lightweight carbon-fiber X-Frame suspension mirrors the rotational movement of the body so you don't fight the load and create undue fatigue.
When you have an extended approach on your next alpine climb, pack your gear into The North Face Prophet 65 Backpack. The North Face outfitted this large technical backpack with everything an expedition climber needs to summit. Load your climbing gear into the Prophet 65 Pack's voluminous 4000 cubic inch interior, organize your pro with the color-coded straps, and secure your ice screws and ice axe into any of the multiple tool loops. You'll shoulder your gear in comfort thanks to this lightweight backpack's molded E-VAP back panel and shoulder straps, and body-forming hip-belt. If you need to bring a bit more gear, this Summit Series Backpack expands by 610 cubic inches (10L) to accommodate an extra rope and food. Removable aluminum stays let you cut down the Prophet 65 Backpack's already paltry 3lb 9oz, and a removable bivy pad has your back for those unexpected nights below the summit.
The Prophet 65 is our premier lightweight alpine assault packs for heavy loads of mountaineering pursuits.
"I might as well have this pack permanently attached to my back I use it so much. From cragging to burl-gnar alpine approaches, and even as a carry-on, this is my go-to pack. With the Prophet 65 I always find a way to make it fit." - Cedar Wright, The North Face®, Rock Climber

Summit Series for the serious | |

Fantastic, do-all pack that was able to easily hold all of my gear in an efficient manner without looking like some ragtag bum who carries all of their %@$# precariously on the outside of a pack. | |

Excellent light weight pack | |
| Rating: | |
| This pack is light and simple, but it delivers big! I've used this pack on a Mount Rainier climb as well as many one day climbs of differnet Cascade peaks in all seasons and weather conditions and the pack is comforable and very stable will climbing and descending. The 65 liters, holds a sleeping bag, clothes and extra gear very well for multiday trips. Beware, if you like to carry lots of extras, you'll need a bigger pack, but for easy maneuverability this is a good volume pack and frame/harness design. The external loops provide good anchor points to strap down extra gear. Cramp-on pocket is a bit cramped to fit your 10-points, but it works. | |

One of the lightest big mountain packs out there. You save a lot of weight with the finesse of this pack with its light material and hip belt. It fits and handles big loads- I just used this for hauling up to 100lbs loads up on Denali. It also cinches down much smaller..also with a removable top. A simple, uncomplicated and reliable pack for multiple mountain uses. The A-frame ski carry works great, with enough loops and basic extras to attach what you need externally. There is a hydration back sleeve internally, excellent strap adjustment system, and a comfy back panel. Save the weight, and get the goods! | |

this is the pack i have used the most of all. i use it for ski mountaineering, backpacking - i pack it very heavy and use it also as a summit pack. there are just enough features without to many. although not a ski specific pack i find plenty of ways to attach axes, crampons, tent, and skis. lightweight but durable. my primary pack. | |

Good Backpack | |
| Rating: |  |
Great Backpack. Comfortable lots of storage and other great things. The only problem is the lack of small compartment and no real division in the main pack which makes it hard on very large trips so i suggest putting one outfit in a large zip lock bag put stuff in it and then through it in the bag. | |

Shoulder strap broke 2nd day into hike! | |
| Rating: |  |
I have had this pack for about 6 months now, good pack although on the 2nd day into a week long trek the shoulder strap snapped off! I only had about 30 lbs total!! I had some twine and was able to fix it, now it seems to work better than the weird design it had before! Other than that the pack is good, ultra light-weight, but cant handle heavy loads. | |

Let me down | |

One of the shoulder straps broke on my first day of a month long trip thousands of miles away from home. I only had about 13kg of gear in it, too. THE FIRST DAY! Maaan...talk about a long trip after that. I know it must have been a fluke, but I'm still apprehensive when it comes to TNF now. | |

main belt broken | |
| Rating: | |
On Aconacagua at 6000m (=cold) the attachment of the main belt of my Prophet65 backpack BROKE with a load of approximately 22 kg only!! The attachment (only about 0.5 mm thin !!) seems to be very lousy to me ... Otherwise the backpack is ok, but this defect is absolutely not acceptable. | |
