From Backcountry Outlet:
"The North Face Badlands 75 Backpack is constructed with a carbon fiber frame that provides lightweight suspension that can comfortably carry a full load for week-long outings."

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Generously equipped with versatile features, The North Face Badlands 75 is a multiple-day backpack priced for budget-minded backcountry enthusiasts. Like the high-end Stamina series, the Badlands 75 also features The North Face X-Frame Suspension system, an ergonomic design that mirrors the natural movements of your back, but it relies on heavier aluminum stays instead of the carbon fiber supports. If you can deal with a few extra ounces of weight, you won't be disappointed with the Badlands. It has a sleeping bag compartment with a drawstring divider that allows you to customize the internal organization of your pack. There's plenty of tool loops, mesh side pockets and even a tool shed front pocket for organizing your gear. You can also fill the internal bladder sleeve with your favorite hydration system. 450-denier polyester ripstop fabric with 600-denier and 1200-denier reinforcements X-Frame Suspension with aluminum stays Newly redesigned shoulder straps and hipbelts Tool shed front pocket for dirty clothes or a wet rainfly (or both"

"Fits me like no other pack. Lots of straps in and on the bag can be an inconvenience sometimes, but it is versatile. I do miss side pockets so I added a lash-on one on one side.

The outer center zip pocket works nicely and holds more than it appears."

"It is one great pack. I've hiked around 100 miles on the rocky Tennessee trails of the AT and I have had no problems and surely no regrets. I love it."

"This is my second pack and I love it. I bought it in winter and tested it out on a treadmill for like four hard miles. That is when I fell in love. Recently I went on a four-day backpack in the Adirondacks with it. This hike was a hard hike that covered most of the great range in the Adirondacks."

"It is a fine pack that fits extremely well. The only problems that i've had is that a small metal plate that fits between the two carbon fibre back supports tears the material and sticks out through the pack. This then allows the pack supports to move together and creates an uncomfortable fit."
