Mountain Gear (Fall 2008)
When you're looking to rip up the trail on an overnight trip, the Skareb 55 from The North Face is your best bet for low pack weight and uncompromised stowing capacity. Light but tough, the 7075 aluminum frame with X-2 suspension sports an E-VAP back panel and shoulder harness paired with a roll-top main cavity and a myriad of pockets so that you never run out of stowing options.
Features:
- Keep your H2O in the water-bottle keeper in the right side zip pocket
- Keep your pack in place with a direct-inject, no-slip lumbar zone and an active-cut, contoured hipbelt with a 3-point closure
- Minimize your pack size with the quick-pull front cord compression system and the dual side compression
- Rough and tumble is what this pack was built for with 7075 aluminum stays and an X-2 suspension system
- Secure your supplies beneath the roll-top closure, and store any little essentials in the zippered top accessory pocket
- Stability and low weight go hand-in-hand with a lightweight, perforated PE sheet that stabilizes the load and stiffens the pack
- Stay cool and less clammy with a breathable E-VAP foam back panel and split contoured shoulder harness
- Stow any extra tools on the front tool loop, in the large front mesh pocket, or in the zippered, left side pocket with rain cover divider and included rain cover while you carry your trekking poles in the trekking pole loops
