From Backcountry.com:
"When you need a streamlined pack for your fast-and-light summit approach, look to The North Face Prophet 45 Backpack to get the job done. Load up your gear, secure your ice axe into one of the multiple tool loops, and make a push for the peak. You'll shoulder your gear in comfort thanks to this lightweight backpack's molded E-VAP back panel and shoulder straps, and body-forming hip-belt. If you need to bring a bit more gear, this Summit Series Backpack expands by 20L (1220cu in) to accommodate your puffy and extra food. Removable aluminum stays let you cut down the Prophet 45's already paltry weight, and a removable bivy pad has your back for those unexpected nights below the summit."

"I have the older version of the Prophet 45 and use it for multiday backpacking. I bought it because it's light for the size and it is expandable.

The pack has one large compartment and is top loading. I've used it for a 3-day, 2 night trip to Channel Islands NP and it worked well."

"Best for weekend outing. Very comfortable to use. It only lacks back ventilation when used in tropical countries. The fabric used in this pack is tough but the coating easily strips off. The lack of pockets of this pack can be compensated by using mini carabiners because it has a lot of carabs attachments."
