I wanted to ask you something, actually. I'm always currious what reasons people have to watch a video. You've thad the backpack for quite some time, so I wonder what inspired you to watch this video? Maybe your answer can help me create more content like this that would be useful for people when they already own the gear. Thank you again for watching :)
Yes, the rain played nicely. It was suppose to rain RIGHT while I was talking to my parents in Germany, but instead, it waited an extra hour or two so I could get set up outside :D
Very good review, I am a big fan of North Face, the lifetime guarantee is also a fantastic reason enough to buy. ( My experience with the free repair service on zipper of 2 coats was excellent.)
That's a great point, Marie! I completely forgot to mention the lifetime warranty! Ugh :D Yes, I love this pack, although the new model might be a bit better. :)
Thank you for watching. It's a great backpack for sure, and if I ever need another one, I'd go for the Terra series again. What do you use yours for, mostly?
@@adventuresandreams Short weekend hiking and overnighters. It's too heavy of a pack to use on long trails even though at my age long trails are probably in my past. For distance I use a 40 liter pack that weighs 26 ozs. With food and water my pack a everages under 20 lbs. Its a young adult pack, that cost me $2.50. New they're 60 to 80 $'s. Its shown on my past videos. Green and black pack.
Hi Aubri, thanks for watching my video. I'm glad it was helpful :) I bought the size M/L for myself. I'm 168 cm (5.5') tall if that helps you decide. Also, you can adjust the torso length quite well, so even if you're somewhere in the middle of those two sizes, you will very likely be OK. As for the rain cover, I just bought a one-size-fits-all one. That's all The North Face offered at the time. I like that it's a bit bigger because I don't have to fight putting it on, and I can have extra gear in my side pockets and the rain cover still fits over all of that.
This is a really helpful review! What size of the Terra 55 do you have? I am considering buying the women's model but there is no size guide on their website so I'm not sure whether to get the XS/S or M/L. If anyone can tell me what size they bought and their height/torso measurements that would help me work out what I need!
Hi Jess, thanks for watching my video. I 'm glad you liked it. :) I bought M/L for myself. I'm 168cm (5.5') if that helps. It's very easy to adjust the torso length with their Optifit feature, so even if you buy the wrong size, you will likely still be able to use it. I hope this helps. You will like the backpack for sure, especially the newer version that fixed some of the problems that mine has.
This size refers to your torso length and a few other measurements. The shoulder straps slide up and down to have the perfect fit for you, but it only goes so far. I'm not sure where you're buying the backpack from, but you can check out the difference between S/M and L/XL here. It is in inches, you'll have to convert it if you are used to the metrics system. Good luck and let me know how it goes! :) The pack is great. www.rei.com/product/894629/the-north-face-terra-65-pack
@@adventuresandreams ok thanks, i'm a male 5'3 weigh 130lb i have an 18" torso... just ordered a s/m. Got a small discount on this bag so after tax $233 Canadian, hope this bag is the one!! Ordered a 38L gregory stout and for some reason it looked like a decent size online but when it came it was so small for a 38l... hope this terra 55 is the one plus the quick side zipper sealed the deal for me to order it i think that is way more better then the bottom zipper for quick access.
@@manchuk1d Awesome. I'm glad the info helped. The 55L is great for weekend backpacking in the warmer months. I've used it for a 3-night trip in early Spring, and that was pushing its limits for sure. Yeah, 38L is pretty small. The photos online always look more impressive :D
@@adventuresandreams it looks like your 55l is an older version the terra 55 i ordered has no 2 front zips but instead it's just a strechy pocket on the front... hmm i don't do winter backpacking only mid fall and spring mostly as a traveling backpacking, ugh i don't get why it doesn't come with a rain cover now i have to go look for a decent priced one or wait for the north face cover to be in stock again..
@@manchuk1d Your updated model is definitely better. It should also have an adjustable hood that has straps in the back. Mine is fixed, and I can't pile things on top of the pack. Yeah, the rain cover is a pain for sure, but any cover for that size pack will fit. They are pretty big. In a pinch, you can also take a big trash bag with you and pack everything in it, basically use it as a liner inside your pack.
Hi Rebe, sorry for the late reply. I was out on a trip :) That's a good question. I would say if you are not too tall and have a shorter torso, it would work. The torso height can be adjusted quite well, but I suggest trying it on if you can. There are also multiple sizes available that are unisex. I hope that helps. :)
This one is for women, yes, but they do have this model for men as well. I believe that the difference is in the padding on the hips and the torso length, but honestly, they are so adjustable that they can be worn by anyone.

I enjoyed how calm you are. Thanks for posting. ❤️
Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it :)
Thank you for this video! I've had this backpack for years and yet did not know about some of the features, like the whistle
You are most welcome! I still love this backpack and used it last week on my 4-day backpacking trip at the Sierra Nevada Mountains. :)

Love that the rain co-starred, in time, for the backpack review. Nice review!
Yes, the rain played nicely. It was suppose to rain RIGHT while I was talking to my parents in Germany, but instead, it waited an extra hour or two so I could get set up outside :D
Thank you for such a thorough and honest review! Very helpful.
Wow! This backpack looks awesome with all the adjustments offered. Very nice and complete review by the way! :)
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. It's a great pack for sure. :)
Such a amazing video! Love how detailed it is
Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. Leet me know if you have any questions. I'm still using this backpack a lot :)
@@adventuresandreams Absolutely!
Thank you for the review
Thanks, Rene. I hope it's helpful. :)

@@adventuresandreams The advantage to buying the older model is savings, they come on sale whenever a new one is released lol.
Thank you. I have the Terra 50. Quite close to the features here.

@@rainbowhiker Ah, that's a good use for it if it's a short weekend trip. What an amazing price! I'll check out your videos too :)
great video! Thanks!!
Thank you, Marcelo (and sorry for the late reply). :)
Awesome! This is what I was looking for. You got a new subscriber. 👍
Thank you so much, Nefi! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for the sub! Spread the word :D
Thank you mrs for the review
You're welcome. I'm glad it helped :)
Thank you for your very helpful review! Do you mind sharing the sizes of your pack and rain cover? I'm not sure which cover size to purchase. Thanks!

@@adventuresandreams thank you! I think I will go for the M/L in that case as I’m just a little shorter than you :)
@@Jess-cv9gi Sounds good. Have lots of wonderful adventures with it, and if you think about it, please let me know how you like it :)
Hi there i'm looking to buy the backpack for men but it asks me to pick s/m or L/XL what type of sizing is it for?
This size refers to your torso length and a few other measurements. The shoulder straps slide up and down to have the perfect fit for you, but it only goes so far.

is this suitable for men as well?

The torso height can be adjusted quite well, but I suggest trying it on if you can. There are also multiple sizes available that are unisex. I hope that helps. :)
What's the size of ur pack, S/M ?
Hi Francis, I bought an M/L
is it only for women ?
This one is for women, yes, but they do have this model for men as well. I believe that the difference is in the padding on the hips and the torso length, but honestly, they are so adjustable that they can be worn by anyone.
Try speaking quieter
Will do
