The North Face Chugach 12 Winter Backpack - 753cu in
Backcountry minimalists rejoice: The North Face Chugach 12 is ready for adventure. You typically don't bring the kitchen sink along when touring. Just the essentials will do, which is why The North Face designed the Chugach with a generously large avy tools pocket and the Hinch tuck-away ski/snowboard carry.
- The North Face-exclusive Bombastic nylon—the same stuff they use in airbags— provides ultimate abrasion resistance and features a PU/silicone DWR finish
- High-abrasion zones in the front are reinforced for extra durability
- Backcountry essentials checklist helps you keep track of necessities in case you have a brain fart
- Insulated hydration sleeve in the shoulder harness means you have water nearby when you work up a sweat on your ascent
Bottom Line:
Light in weight, heavy on readiness.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.
