This North Face hiking pack designed for use in snowy weather conditions has proven to be very dependable, and long lasting. This is an older model of the Patrol Pack, but still has lots of life left to go for future hikes and other adventures. Only flaw with it being some minor stains on parts of the pack, but nothing too noticeable unless closely examined. All zippers and closures still work great, everything is fully functional on this pack, no strange smells or unpleasant odors. I have no doubt this North Face pack still has years of dependable use ahead.
