The North Face Terra 55 Backpack - Unisex Hiking Pack 53–57L | Cinch-Top, Pole & Ice Axe Attachments

Overview

The North Face Terra 55 Backpack is a mid-size, multi-day pack designed for hikers who value a balance of capacity and comfort. Built to support organized gear and a stable, confident carry, it helps you prep for longer trips without feeling overloaded.

Comfort that carries you

On long days, comfort matters as much as capacity. The Terra 55 features a padded back panel, well-padded shoulder straps, and a supportive hipbelt. Load lifter straps, a cushioned sternum strap, and a removable frame sheet work together to distribute weight evenly and maintain breathable support as you move across rocky trails.

• Customizable fit across S/M and L/XL to accommodate different torso lengths
• Breathable padding helps you stay comfortable through ascents and warm afternoons

Smart storage with quick access

The main compartment opens with a full-length two-way U-zip, allowing reach to the top, sides, or bottom without removing everything. The removable lid includes an internal zip pocket and a key hook, while the external stuff-it pocket tightens with an S/R buckle for a tidy, compact pack.

• Two-way access lets you grab layers or snacks without unloading gear
• The lid pocket and key hook keep small essentials within easy reach

Trail-ready features

Built for rugged trails, this pack offers hiking pole and ice axe attachments, zip hipbelt pockets for quick-access items, an internal hydration sleeve, and two stretch bottle pockets. Side and bottom compression straps help cinch down bulky items or secure a sleeping pad.

• Attachment points secure tools while leaving room to move
• Hydration sleeve supports on-the-go sipping on long days or varying elevations
