Why choose a North Face backpack? Any trip in the great outdoors demands a backpack and a good quality backpack provides the piece mind of robustness and durability to ensure a smooth and stress free trip. We need a backpack for our outdoor expeditions to enable us to carry everything necessary for the trip. When selecting your ideal backpack you should know what its primary use will be. A backpack is now a key component for the traveler and camper.

There are many types of backpack available on the market today and can be split into the following categories:

• Day packs
• Full packs
• Assault packs
• Military packs

A day pack is as it says, a type of backpack that is used to carry things needed throughout the day. So it will not need to be as big as the other types but wont hold as much. A day pack is ideal when trekking for a few hours so you can carry a few supplies for your trip.

A full pack is a much larger type of day pack, suitable for the more serious outdoor pursuit adventurer. It will be more durable, better waterproof and will certainly carry more supplies.

The assault type of backpack is probably the most largest in size so are used for expeditions up mountains and the like. These packs can come complete with an internal frame or external frame. The frame helps distribute the load evenly through the pack. The internal frame would probably hold less than an external frame backpack.

A military backpack is designed for the most extreme of conditions such as snow and ice or high desert temperatures. They are very tough and very hard wearing but still flexible and very useful. Surprisingly, this type of backpack may not be quite as large as the other types of backpack, but is the most robust. The fabric used on a military backpack is extremely hard-wearing and long-lasting and should last for years.

The North Face provides the very best in high quality backpacks whose reputation is unsurpassed. You can buy in full confidence in the knowledge that you can't really buy better when it comes to outdoor equipment.
