User Review: The North Face Catalyst 75

Rating: rated 1.5 of 5 stars
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: 100 € (on sale)

Summary

Poor materials: particularly the film near the zips is all broken after only one month; and all the latches are made by too little parts, very very breakable. The form is not correct so that the back zip risks to be forced every time you have a lot of stuff.
Not recommended.

Pros

  • big

Cons

  • very breakable
  • not so comfortable when full
  • heavy
  • not enough straps inside to arrest your stuff

It doesn't fit well when full charged, even if shoulders belt are ok, because the hip belt is big but not precise, so that it moves and you can't bind it as you want.

Poor materials: particularly the film near the zips is all broken after only one month I use the backpack.

All the latches at the end of the side straps are very very breakable.

The mould of the back pack is not correct so that the back zip riscks to be forced every time you have a lot of stuff inside, even if you try to block your stuff using the inside straps.

The pockets on the bottom part are not so usable.

It's heavy and not recommended.
