"The Primero 70 Backpack uses The North Face's vented back panel to provide excellent air circulation and keep you cool during scorching hot days on the trail. When the temperatures spike and your hiking partners look like they're ready to melt, you'll be nice and cool while air flows along your back. The Primero 70 Backpack's perforated waist-belt keeps your hips from overheating.

"The Primero 70 is a great minimalist pack. I just returned from a week in Olympic National Park in the 7 lakes/High Divide area, and the pack performed flawlessly.

It is very comfortable and light weight, the waterproof top and bottom are a great addition to the pack and it rides well with up to 45 pounds, although that is about it's max."

"North Face really hit a homer with this pack. The pack is very light and comfortable; but can handle 35 -45 lbs. with ease.

This pack is also very weather proof; believe it! On a 7-day trip to the Maroon Bells, Snomass Wilderness in Colorado I really put this pack to the test and it worked great."

"It's a very good, but light and minimalist backpack, whit a very good fit. The waterproof top and bottom is very interesting, which will keep your gear dry, guaranteed!

But remember the minimalist aspect of this pack, and try to keep the weight of your load under 30 pounds! Otherwise the pack will become uncomfortable."
