Product Reviews and Questions
Grand Canyon
Incredibly comfortable and an amazing pack!
Great pack for all levels of backpacking adventure
Love this pack!
Great fit and weight
Not many gears can survive the hot, humid, and wet climate of the jungles of Borneo. The tropical rainforest is my workplace and I'm glad that the NorthRim 55 so far can survive it. Braving the torrential rain while on a 3-hour boat ride then facing the scorching heat of the tropical noon sun. I will continue testing its endurance and so far it survived me and my working condition.
First Ultralite Pack
Took it on it's first shakedown, 5 days on the A.T. in Tennessee. Loved the weight, getting used to be light after many years of heavy packs.
It’s cool but ….
It’s pretty good at most things , tough sure , but it’s a little on the overdone side , it’s like wearing a lazy boy recliner - they should use the same materials on a version of the porter , I’ve since started to carry the arcetyrx alpha fl 30 instead , I bust out the northrim when I need extra capacity when hauling gear for my kids or glamping
