The Tree Hugger is a large daypack with enough capacity for a short weekend trip. Although a pack's "coolness" factor might not serve much function in the wilderness, I received several compliments on the retro appearance while out on the trail.

Is it made in the USA?

I'm not one to pick things apart just for the sake of doing so, but, and I hope this isn't a stupid question, isn't wool one of those things that you pull out of the closet and you find yourself surprised that little critters have been feasting on it?

I found myself in The North Face store admiring this pack for its simplicity, tough materials and perfect size for what I need. I was sold on it BEFORE I wondered if this was the wool pack featured in BP. Honestly, I didn't realize it was made of wool. Holding this bag in my hands, I think this would outlast many other great bags I've used. The styling reminded me of classic alpine mountaineering photos of climbers in the Alps or Cascades. This bag also has nice modern features. I like the deep side pockets, double ice-axe loops and light weight. This one is a keeper. (If family members read this: think Gift List). I think TNF may have created a classic with this one.
