Terra 55 Backpack - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have put the Terra 55 Backpack through multi-day trips with variable loads, and the Dyno Lift System makes a noticeable difference when the weight shifts on uneven ground. The women-specific fit and suspension combined with the cushy back panel means I am still comfortable at the end of day three in a way that a unisex pack at this price point has never managed for me."

The trailhead register is signed, the permit is in the hip belt pocket, and the miles ahead are exactly what we packed for. The North Face Terra 55 Backpack was designed for experienced backpackers who know that fit and comfort are not optional on a multi-day route, bringing a women-specific suspension system and torso length to a 55-liter platform that is ready for everything from weekend loops to week-long traverses. The proprietary OPTIFIT suspension system keeps the load dialed to your body, while the patent-pending Dyno Lift System self-equalizes the load lifters on the fly without adding any weight to the pack.

The back panel pairs a cushy foam package with breathable mesh that manages heat on long climbs, and the molded hipbelt provides the kind of structured support that keeps the weight on your hips where it belongs rather than your shoulders. A full J-zip opens the main compartment wide for easy access at the end of a long day, and the floating lid offers dedicated storage for a sleeping bag or tent so the main compartment stays organized for gear you reach for on the trail. A large front stash pocket handles wet layers or quick-grab items, the hydration sleeve keeps a reservoir accessible without digging, and a sternum strap with whistle buckle rounds out a pack that thinks about every detail so you can focus on the trail ahead.
