Very heavy,hipbelt does not work and plastic breaks easily
This luggage is 12lb when empty. That's much heavier than the competition. You would think it'd be durable, but it has plastic on top which breaks very easily. And the worst part is that the hipbelt does not work at all. There is a design flaw which allows the hipbelt to slide up, so all the weight ends up on the shoulders. Nortface is a pretty good brand, but they are new to the luggage business and need to fix this it.

Best Travel Bag / Luggage ever made!!!
North Face has thought of EVERYTHING when they designed this pack / bag / suitcase. The bag fits all occasions and circumstances. I was literally blown away by how practical this bag is. It works as a regular travel suitcase yet when you finally reach your off-the-beaten-path destinations you just zip out the straps and it morphs into an incredibly comfortable backpack. The bag is incredibly easy to load / unload. Unlike a traditional pack that you have to unpack to find that thing you accidentally packed in the middle you just - zip - grab it and zip again! The other cool thing about this bag is the detachable day pack. It's a fully functioning backpack with a sleeve for your hydration pack, plus a bunch of other pockets for organizing your gear. Unlike other 'detachable' day packs that I have used in the past, this thing is easy on / off so when you hit the hotel or check-in it takes only a second and your on your way. Speaking of check-in, there are some nifty little strap shortener doo-dads that will keep your straps from turning into confetti in the arms of automated baggage handling machines. It looks good, takes a beating, the black color is low profile for areas that are a bit seedy and speaking of seedy - it has a cable attached to the top handle that can double as a place to help secure your bag to something in unsavory areas / hotels. I would highly recommend this pack to anyone that travels for leisure or adventure and even better a combination of the two!!! I'll post back again after a full trial test through China, Tibet, Mongolia, Macao and Cambodia. Aloha!!!
