The North Face Terra 65
By S. Dee Davis
This is another good one if you’re a first-time backpacker. The Terra 65 is a little smaller, and it can be found relatively cheap. The downside is it uses polyester, which isn’t quite as durable, instead of nylon. However, if you’re not quite ready to rumble on the high peaks or bushwhack through a thicket where there aren’t any trails, this pack has plenty of other features to help you have a great first trip. The sleeping bag compartment is separated from the main by a trampoline divider, and comfort is the name of its game with an Opti-Fit frame and mesh fabric on the back area to wick away moisture. All in all, a solid pack. This pack is available for $100 to $160.

- Capacity: 3950 cubic inches
- Weight: 5 pounds 1 ounces
