From Backcountry.com:
"Drawing upon years of pack design, The North Face gave the Primero 85 Backpack a unique back panel and frame system that provides both excellent support and flow-through venting. Both the back panel and waist-belt use injection molded EVA and perforated foam to allow top-notch ventilation for comfort in the hottest of conditions. The North Face's 7075 aluminum X-Radial suspension allows the Primero 85 Backpack to move fluidly with your body, yet still provide support for loads over 60lbs. Thanks to a large 5200cu inch volume and weather-resistant, durable fabrics, this pack easily holds and protects everything you need for a week in the wilderness."

Men's Primero 85

"Before I bought this Primero 85, I would have told you that North Face makes good value day-to-weekend packs, but nothing that would really appeal to the extended-trip backpacker looking for something in the 60+ liter range. So I was admittedly taking a chance on this Primero, but all the reviews I was seeing of it said that its new suspension system was the *real deal*!

The fit was great, and the quality attention to detail better than any other North Face pack I've ever seen."
