TNF Prophet 65

[chooooocolat_moose]

I have been looking for a new bagpack for weeks now and cannot decide : narrowed the choice down to 3 packs of which one is the TNF Prophet 65.

Anybody who has first hand experience with this one ? It is an alpine pack with great handling according to TNF, but yeah : I wanna hear it from you guys and girls !

Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter

Sorry, no first hand experience myself. However, you can find a review here on backpacker.com.

I have bought the TNF 65, medium size.

At first I was a bit disturbed by the unconventional way the bagpack was built. An enormous amount of straps and a X-shaped carbon fiber frame.

The straps took me 20 minutes to get used too, everything is adaptable to your personal taste and body shape. And really : the shape is very comfortable !

Then the X-shaped carbon frame : the pack is designed for 65 to 75l and only weights 1.6-1.7kg. That is very light. So I was a bit confused to find out that this is a very sturdy construction ! Wow ! I already took it for a walk (we have plenty of snow in Belgium right now !) and the construction is 'one with the body'. Even heavy loads fit nicely and are 'attached' to the back.

To conclude : one hell of a bagpack !
