What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "This pack feels incredibly balanced and comfortable right out of the box. The dual sternum straps and contoured back panel make a huge difference when I'm moving fast. I love the quick-access phone pocket on the shoulder strap and the easy-to-reach water bottle pockets." For fast-paced day hikes and long miles, the North Face Trail Lite 24L Backpack keeps our load secure and our essentials organized. The North Face built this streamlined pack with a breathable, contoured back panel and an ergonomic harness that provide all-day comfort without sacrificing stability. Inside, a large main compartment holds extra layers and food, while an internal mesh pocket and hydration sleeve keep gear sorted. Quick-access stretch pockets on the hipbelt and shoulder straps make it easy to grab a phone or soft flask without breaking stride. Two angled side bottle pockets, trekking pole carry, a bungee system, and reflective hits round out this thoughtfully designed pack. Whether we're tackling steep switchbacks or logging mellow miles, the Trail Lite 24 keeps the focus on the trail ahead.
