        The North Face Patrol 34 Pack - REVIEW

For the past few years I have been trying to get by with one pack that accommodates my winter backcountry skiing needs as well as my summer climbing needs. It kept things affordable and meant I had one less pack to store in the off season. This season the inadequacies in my 'one-pack-fits-all' approach have been exposed by The North Face Patrol 34 Pack. I have come to realise that I have been sacrificing heavily on design features that make backcountry skiing a whole lot more comfortable and efficient. Not to mention that the 'one pack' I have been using for everything is looking hagged, in hindsight two specialised packs have a longer life and therefore justify the expense and storage of two packs instead of one.


        It didn't take just any ski touring specific pack to change my 'one-pack-fits-all' approach. I have been looking at ski touring packs for some time now. The North Face Patrol 34 Pack is packed with features and then some.
