I Love this pack however I love it more after making some changes.Here is what I did and why. I Installed thin, inner roll-up pouches along the inside seams, by hand sewing. Then cut the pack down each side, yea I know I was scared but I did not want to spend $600 on a new pack without trying so I took a chance and cut it down each side and took to a seamstress and installed ykk zippers down the sides.$30.00. The pack previously has a access zipper on one side and it did work fine and this fix does not need to be done at all but in my situation I need full access and a little more individual storage. When I lay the pack down, open it then I can roll out the pouches and access what gear I need. They are durable on the back side and lay on the ground creating a whole protected area. I can move faster now and more efficiently. I did all this because I did notice this pack was hard for me to dig through quietly and effortlessly while hunting, photography and just being in the woods in general. It seamed like things just got buried without any separation. However before I did this I did use smaller pouches and such to achieve this and it worked fine. With hunting and just wanting to see wildlife you have to be still and quiet. Now this pack can be used for travel a whole lot easier also, I can still fit the same amount of gear in it and keep separate the things I know I won't need at a glance or grab, can lay it out fully open, I have carried awkward loads now like a load sling type bag with the already installed side buckle straps. It is probably not covered under warranty any more but it is even more solid and usable now. Before I did this I noticed i did not use it as much as I would like even though I knew it was a great pack. Now I use it even more. If they design one like this I will buy when this wears out if ever.. I can get pictures if someone needs them.

I finally broke down and started converting to a more minimalist approach with my gear (I have been clinging to my tried and trusty 30year old Kelty frame pack) my back and legs are so thankful. I tried on a lot of more expensive packs but thought for comfort, price and reputation this pack would be sufficient. Well it has proven to be an excellent addition. Great fit, simple design, plenty of room for a 3 or 4 day trip. I also bought the Storm lite solo tent and I am very impressed with the Note Face brand. I am sure I will get years of use from these products. (Never found a use for the bottom zipper access)

I wanted a backpack that's trong and versatile, lightweight yet has all the bells and whistles. Built for expeditions and designed to last with lifetime warranty, The Terra 65 was the answer to my JMT thru hike I'm planing for this summer. I use the backpack on almost daily basis for training and I couldn't be happier with the suspension system. Very comfortable and centered on your body it feels like it can handle a winter Alpine Climb with ease.
The best thing I love about this pack is the pockets and loops... The North Face thought of everything and probably had the long distance trail hiker in mind as well.
Perfect for weekend getaways and thru hikes, The Terra 65 pack is my choice for Mountain Trail Adventure.

this is my second terra, i used to have a older version the 55L, now i bought the 60L i was a little concern if it was going to be to big to bring it into the plane, but i already travel fro the US to South America and from South America to Europe and i had no problem to bring it with into the airplain. For traveling is excellent the perfect size and for going out for adventures to the mountain is even better, i usually use it for hikes or riding my bike with it, really confi, reliable materials i just love this back pack.

I purchased my Tera 65 in July 2012. Subsequently it has survived nearly 2 years of collective day-to-day backpacking and trekking through 32 countries. This bag also survived around 110 flights and being handled in airports (a true test of construction).

It took a while to adjust and set the suspension system, but once I did I never felt much need to adjust it. Over time and constant use there was some stretching on the internal materials of one of the shoulder straps. I believe this is from airport workers picking it up and throwing it from the straps. For longevity I zip-tied the extra strap material to avoid snags and issues with baggage handlers; nicer elastic bands would have been greatly appreciated from The Northface as there is a lot of material for adaptability and adjustability (which I did appreciate). All things considered this backpack was incredibly well built. I had no issues with the zippers or the seams. All the plastic clasps held up and maintained their tight fit. I was a bit skeptical to the adjustment method of the sternum strap; it presented no issues though It seems the front pocket has been updated and has 2 zippers now; that would be a welcome additional as the front pocket is long and thin and access sometimes meant lots of blind digging for quick access items. I wish the shoulder straps were a little wider for additional comfort; perhaps this could have also slowed down my only noted area of degradation.

Nice simple top, bottom and side loading main compartment with segregated lower wet containment area. The top pouch is substantial for this size pack and worked perfectly for toiletries bag. There is a hook for a hydration system and a pass through as well. I only used it a few times and carried bottles in the elastic pockets instead.

I purchased my gal pal the Tera 55 after having such a great experience with my bag. This bag will be hard to replace. It feels like an old friend at this point.
