I must say I'm a firm admirer of 'The North Face' equipment and accessories and this was no exception. I bought the Backtrack 70 to travel through Europe and it was reliable, durable, ergonomically friendly and comfortable. This pack is a must for any backpacker going on both short and long haul journeys. The bag is extremely capacious and large enough to fit in 3 months worth of clothing. The straps can be adjusted to your desired setting and the hip belt ensures the majority of the wieght from the pack is exerted to to hips therefore the heavy load you (may) be carrying doesn't at all feel heavy. This isn't only a safer way to carry the luggage but also a more practical way. The bag has various compartments for bottle storage, food, footwear, anorak etc, this makes it far more easily accessible. The day pack is also an extremely handy thing. This bag is essentially two bags in one, and the day pack easily unclips from the main sack making it hassle-free. The quality of this pack is second to none and the price is guarenteeed with the size of the warranty. I seriously believe this back to be 100% dependable.
