The North Face Hammerhead Hydration Backpack

When you've brought one layer more for insurance, the midsized North Face Hammerhead Hydration Backpack has a convenient back bungee stash for quick access. You could stuff it in the large main compartment or secondary compartment that has a front stash sleeve, try to slip it in between the internal organizer, or even stick it in the generous side stretch woven pockets, but the bungee is where it belongs. Oh, and you could also take out the 100-ounce reservoir 100-oz Nalgene® reservoir to make room there, but you wouldn't want to leave home without liquid just for another layer, or would you?

  • Fabric: 210 HT ripstop Cordura® nylon
  • X-Vent™, mesh trampoline, back panel system
  • E-VAP™ and Airmesh shoulder harness
  • Removable, adjustable sliding waist belt
  • 100-oz Nalgene® reservoir
  • Dual over-the-shoulder hydration routing
  • Side compression straps
  • Articulated magnetic bite valve
  • Large main compartment
  • Secondary compartment with front stash sleeve
  • Internal organizer
  • Generous side stretch woven pockets
  • Volume: 730 cu in (12 liters)
  • Dimensions: 18" x 10" x 7" (45 cm x 25 cm x 18 cm)
  • Avg Weight: 1 lb 10 oz (725 g)

Looks great.
I haven't used it yet, but it looks like its going to be a great pack. My brother has told me to abandon Camelbak and try out North Face packs, and I see why now. I can't wait to use it.

Great Pack, Great Value
Looking for a hydration pack for the past few weeks and finally grabbed this one while it was on sale. Typical and expected North Face quality. A small profile pack, not too large, but enough room to actually store some gear and carry a decent amount of water. Easily fits a shell, random gear and plenty of Clif bars. No issues with the hose connection at this point. Using it for short hikes, snowshoe excursions and some backcountry skiing during the winter. A great day pack. Would recommend to others.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No

Agree with hose problem
I've had this pack for over a year and the hose will not stay connected unless you're staying still. Forget running or any rough hiking with it unless you have a different bladder in it. TNF should really address this problem. Other than that, the rest of the pack is comfortable and roomy and light.

Great Pack!
After thoroughly looking at similar packs from Camelback I chose the North Face. The reservoir is much easier to remove the pack and clean. Also, the overall design is great and I really like the magnetic mouthpiece keeper. Lots of room for equipment and easy to access in the pack.

No complaints!
My wife and kids gave the hammerhead hydration backpack to me for fathers day, we immediatly hit the trail that afternoon with a full load of water and equipment loaded in the generous storage compartments. After four hours on the trail in mid June central Florida whether, the six of us had drained the pack dry. What a relief to be able to hike with kids and not hear the complaints about haveing to carry thier own water bottle! This is a great day pack that is easy on the back, and the budget. I highly reccomend this top quality North Face product.

Nice addition
I have really enjoyed the Hammerhead. It has alot more room, light weight and the magnetic bite piece is nice. I can not only pack a lunch but dry clothes. It's great for day hikes.

Excellent Day Pack
I researched day packs quite a bit and am glad I bought this one. It is about the perfect size for day hikes, including for the entire day -- everything fits, including maps, sandwiches, rain jacket, sweat shirt and misc items. Previously, I seldom carried more than 2 litres for the day (usually going 6 - 9 miles) but I find with this pack I drink more water because it is so easily accessible, which is probably healthy. I had never before used a hydration bladder, but now cannot imagine not using one. Also, the Hammerhead is a longish and narrow pack so, unlike other day packs, you can use the waist belt to cary weight on your waist (toher seems to strap across my mid-stomach area). This not only makes the pack light but you can then loosen the shoulder straps and have a nice vent space on your back, so it feels light and doesn't get hot. I love this pack and would highly recommend it. Personally, I find the e-vap back to be a bit of a gimmick, but for other reasons (mentioned above) it works well in hot weather. Highly recommended!

So far so good
The size is perfect for one day trek. The hydration bag looks not strong enough but OK.

GREAT FOR 1/2 DAY TRIPS
GREAT PACK FOR HALF DAY TRIPS. HOWEVER I TEND TO ALWAYS PACK MORE THAN I REALLY NEED SO THE PACK DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH STORAGE SPACE FOR ME FOR FULL DAY HIKES. HOWEVER I BOUGHT A LARGER PACK AND PUT THE HAMMERHEAD BLADDER IN IT SO EVERYTHING WORKS OUT GREAT

Run with it!
Well-suited for ultra trailrunning. Adjusts to fit an athletic women's frame better than the Mako version. Big plus are the easy-access ext. mesh pouches for on-the-go fuel replacement. One design upgrade I would like to see is more top-loading compartments so weight rides higher.

Typical North Face Quality
This is a dynamite little hydration daypack. It holds a whopping 3 liters of your favorite liquid (mine is Accelerade)and the reservoir is easy to clean. Lots of space for all your daytrip needs with plenty of well thought out compartments and pockets for storage. Typical North Face product in that it's well designed and well made. The E-VAP back and shoulder harnesses are a top notch touch! This pack should last for years to come. One way to improve this pack is to put on a beefier waist belt; the flimsy 1" belt betrays the North Face quality a bit. How about a 1/12' or 2" padded belt?

Great Pack -- Poor Tech
The layout of the pack is amazing. It is bigger than it appears. My quick connect hose is leaking after 6 months of light use.
