The North Face Women’s Trail Lite 65 Backpack

The North Face Women's Trail Lite 65 is the women-specific, 65-liter version of the brand's technical Trail Lite line, built on an internal frame with a tensioned mesh back panel, adjustable torso length, and women-specific straps and hip belt. A dedicated sleeping bag compartment combined with a top lid and front J-zip access simplifies packing for multi-day routes. At 1760 g for 65 liters, that's a 27.1 g-per-liter ratio — lighter than the women's Terra 55 or Trail Lite 50 in the same lineup, matching its stated use for multi-day trekking and lightweight thru-hiking. The 210D recycled ripstop nylon body with a PFC-free DWR finish combines durability with a reduced environmental footprint. A kangaroo-style front pocket, two stretch-mesh side pockets, hip belt pockets, and internal pockets provide organization, while two ice axe loops will appeal to hikers heading into higher terrain. Compression straps are side-only, and the pack has neither a roll-top closure nor an integrated rain cover, though it is hydration-compatible. A solid choice for women planning longer treks of roughly 3 to 5 nights where the volume-to-weight ratio matters.
