The North Face Prophet 40
The North Face Prophet 40 – my backpack of choice.
The North Face Prophet 40
is a Summit Series™ ski and climbing pack of choice for serious alpine assaults or sustained multi-day vertical journeys. A light, supportive tubular stay gives the pack’s shape integrity and together with a foam-moulded back panel and hip belt means you can carry relatively heavy loads comfortably. Constructed from indestructible Bombastic™ Cordura® nylon (auto airbag) fabric with a double layered reinforced bottom and additional SuperFabric™ reinforcements at axe attachment points to resist snagging.
The North Face® packs utilise innovative E-VAP™ foam in shoulder straps, back panels and hip belts to reduce weight and improve breathability and comfort. The lightweight E-VAP™ perforated foam panels encourage air to circulate, improving both breathability and evaporation, keeping the athlete dryer and more comfortable. Better yet, the wearer won’t get the damp, clammy feeling where the back and pack meet.
