The North Face

Prophet 85L Backpack

When you're putting in high camp on an unsupported mission on Denali, you want a comfortable pack that can haul your gear efficiently. The North Face's Prophet 85 Backpack won't make breaking trail through knee-deep snow any easier, but it will keep your tools organized so you don't have to waste time rummaging around for your crampons in 50 mph winds. The Prophet features a safety sleeve at the front for quick access to your avalanche tools and an oversized crampon pocket to keep your spikes from tearing up your parka. The side zipper lets you access the main compartment from anywhere on the pack so you can access those chocolate-covered espresso beans you conveniently placed in the very bottom, and the ice axe and rope carry let you stash your tools for efficient hiking.
