The North Face Pivoter Backpack
Comfortable TNF Daypack
The well-designed North Face Pivoter Backpack looks great and performs well. In addition to the bright bike light loop for improved nighttime visibility and the side water bottle pockets, the Pivoter Backpack also has a front utility pocket for storing daily accessories.
When it comes to carrying support, the Pivoter is equipped with a number of comfort-enhancing features. As is the way with the North Face Jester, the Pivoter Backpack is fitted with ergonomic shoulder straps and a cushioned air mesh back panel for increased comfort and breathability.
A strong 500D Cordura shell and a protective inner nylon lining give the Pivoter Backpack the strength and durability to withstand the demands of everyday use. Moreover, The North Face’s goods are backed by a Lifetime Product Warranty, which ensures that they are free of material and manufacturing defects.
The North Face’s rugged Pivoter Backpack is a dependable unisex storage option. When compared to a comparable North Face competitor, such as the North Face Recon, the Pivoter Backpack offers more straightforward everyday usability. Additionally, the Pivoter’s laptop and tablet sleeves are fully cushioned and finished with a fleece lining.
