The North Face Trail Lite 12L Backpack

Comfortable and practical with handy on-the-fly access, The North Face's new Trail Lite Backpack serves as a crossover between a hiking pack and a technical companion for a host of outdoor pursuits.

Crafted from nylon material with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, the Trail Lite keeps items secure and protected from your environment and elements, no matter the activity. With 360-degree reflectivity, you can stay visible and safe in low-light settings, keeping you pushing on no matter the conditions. Featuring a NextVent back panel, the Trail Lite offers a highly breathable yet contoured fit, with shoulder straps that are super comfortable during wear. These straps feature a stretch mesh pocket to either fit a soft flask or small essentials and a secure zip pocket for a mobile phone. To secure the fit, a dual sternum and hip strap has been added to the design, stabilising the weight on your back. A large main zip compartment holds most of your items, with an internal sleeve for a bladder (not included) for quick and effortless hydration, while an internal mesh pocket holds small essentials and features a key clip. Then compress the load down with the side compression straps to centralise the weight and boost your stability. The backpack also features holds for water bottles on the side that can be easily accessed, a trekking pole and ice axe hold and a bungee system on the front to stash items, making the Trail Lite a great all-rounder.
