The North Face Basin 24 Litre Backpack

The hiking-specific Basin Backpack isn't for fair-weather explorers. It's rugged, durable and ready for whatever nature throws at you.

Constructed using a ripstop fabric with a DWR to keep the weight to a minimum, this backpack features an easily accessible and large main compartment for storing all your essential hiking items, while the NextVent back panel and shoulder straps offer padding and breathability for a comfortable yet minimalist carry. A concealed rain cover deploys easily and attaches to specific points for a precise fit and provides water-resistant protection and a two-point trekking-pole attachment holds your trekking poles. The backpack also features two quick-access water bottle pockets and an external stash pocket which holds bulky or quick-access items, and compression straps hold items in place. A sternum strap with a whistle buckle provides you with load distribution and a way to attract attention in an emergency, while the rugged polyester boot provides durability where you need it. Lastly, the webbing torso strap sits comfortably against the body, and an internal hydration sleeve (hydration system not included) provides easy hydration on the move.
