55L PACK, IDEAL FOR
- Rocky Environments

OUR OFF-TRAIL CANYON COUNTRY PACK
Focus on finding your way through the thick of things with the burly NorthRim 55 and its capacity to carry everything you need to thrive on multi-day, off trail backpacking missions. Ideal for weekend, section, or thru hikes where resupply points are less frequent and/or for equipment flexibility. When the extra volume is not in use, the 55’s top can roll down enough to make the overall size similar to a 40 pack.
The act of creating trails that help people connect places has been an intrinsic part of human behavior from pre-recorded history to present day. For that, we offer a very heartfelt “Thanks!” There are those folks however that would prefer to get to wherever “there” is the hard way, and for them, we offer the NorthRim.

YES !
I walked 4000+ miles with a 3400 NorthRim, and I say : a BIG Thank You !
Very impressed
So much to love about this pack
“The One Bag Quiver “?
I was looking for a “do everything well bag” . I’m not made of $ so this was a splurge for me . I chose the N. Rim due to the additional advertised robustness . This bag is a bit of a chameleon. I purchased the add on straps & they make a HUGE difference in versatility ( strapping on snow shoes , or a zlite etc) . The front pocket eats my avy shovel ! The roll top takes a little getting use to but is clutch in volumizing , there is no internal sleeve , just a loop . I hook a caribener & I clip my wallet & keys to it , works great . This pack imo carries better 20-30 # than less . Have had 47# & well it was 47# ( just sayin) The dirt patina it picks up is also cool ! I use it for the approach , summit , overnight , weeklong , fly fishing skiing etc ( chameleon ) I treat the bag like garbage & not 1 single issue . I would like to see a internal pocket like on the other packs , I would do away w/ 1 hip belt pocket in favor of 1 gear loop , & it would be nice to have the option of removing the hip belt ( I’m literally being hyper critical) . I highly recommend this pack if you can reach deep enough into your pockets - don’t overlook the accessory straps !!!!
Exceeds Expectations
I have been jonesing for a new UL bag to replace my ~8 year old gossamer gorilla and my wife just got me this one for my bday (I've moved from east coast to west and replaced long distance trail w/ high routes in the Sierras) and this bag is everything. Super comfortable, HUGE internal storage capacity, and built like a tank.
I had extremely high expectations and was preparing myself to be a little let down, but holy heck, this bag is immediately my favorite piece of kit.
