Its Pivotal suspension system won the 2005 Backpacker Magazine Editor's Choice Award for the support and free movement it gives this pack. As you walk, bend, step up, lean over, run, climb, or jump, The North Face Pivotal 60 continues to transfer weight directly to your hips and won't throw you off balance like rigid packs can. Top, side, and bottom access points allow you to find your sunglasses without unloading every stitch of gear, and the removable hydration sleeve is perfect for short side trips away from camp."
