The North Face Skareb 65 Pack/Bag: an ingenious feature set and unprecedented load-carrying capacity in a remarkably light large pack.
When it comes to fastpacking, the motto of "less is more" can't be overstated enough. For those who meticulously plot out every inch and ounce of gear, this remarkably light and large pack is the perfect container to stash what you'll need. Weighing just over three pounds, this pack combines heavy-equipment, parachute fabric with the revolutionary X Radial™ suspension; a pairing that dramatically decreases user fatigue. An injection-molded EVA foam back panel features contours and channels that optimizes airflow and evaporation.
Designed for heavy loads and minimal weight, the North Face® Skareb is a light hikers dream bag.
A backpack with all kinds of comfort features isn’t much good if it weighs ten pounds (empty). The North Face Skareb 65 Backpack combines X Radial suspension and a molded EVA back panel at a modest 3lb 12oz. Durable parachute nylon fabric shrugs off trail beatings, the molded E-Vap foam lumbar panel channels airflow while you hike, and the anatomically contoured hip-belt disperses load pressure. Stash rain gear in the large front stretch pocket and secure your trekking poles to the Spectra pole loops when you hit flat ground.

Review Title | |
| Rating: |  |
I've have used the original version of the Skareb for 3 or 4 years, and have always liked the suspension and feel of the pack. I was not a huge fan of the roll top, and in general the exterior of the pack was a bit busy. North Face seems to have solved all of this issues with the current Skareb. I usually have to spend quite a bit of time and 2 or 3 trips to really get the suspension dialed in, but on a recent trip to the Tetons, this pack felt just about perfect with very little adjustment. I also liked the larger size moving up to 65 liters. I really like the approach of building a lighter weight pack, but not sacrificing all of the durability, and still having a legitimate suspension. Very nicely done- still the great feel of the last generation, with nice updates to the back pannel and much cleaner pack body. They took my favorite pack and made it better. | |

| I loaded this pack up with 40+ pounds for a multi-day backpacking trip and it worked like a champ. I would have liked an extra pocket on the outside (it has a top zip pocket and a large stretch pocket plus a small hip pad pocket). It would also have been convenient to have access to the pack without digging into the top. But overall, it was light, comfortable, and roomy. | |
