    • ludicrously capacious bag
love it. big bag. I have within this nylon sack; a knitting project in a pouch, a pencil case, a waterbottle, a perfume, a wallet, 2 notebooks, a big planner, a pouch of necessities, a pouch of lip products, a pouch with another pouch, a disposable camera, hand sanitizer, a lint roller, phone, keys, my mom, her house, my house, everyone's house. The only real issues I have is with the convertible strap (the one that gets pulled to make a backpack)that ,if you accidently grab whilst not grabbing the other, causes your bag to scrunch and spill all of those pouches if not zipped. If you can avoid this, then its solid and dependable. If you are looking for an organized tote, this is not for you. There is some semblance of organization but it is not very meaningful. There is a mesh pouch that zips that does well to keep certain items separated, and a thinly padded "laptop sleeve" (I use this for my various aforementioned notebooks instead), as well as two side pockets, and one small front pocket. Useful for me who just needs everything, all at once. Not for someone who gets stressed if there things aren't in certain fashion Overall, worth the money for me. Feels like it will last and like I will be able to beat it up! nice. ... show more

    • I love this bag
I’m pretty small and a lot of laptop backpacks just look ridiculous on me so I wasn’t super optimistic about this bag, but I have to say this might be one of my favorite bags I’ve ever purchased of any kind (I own A LOT of bags.) I was sent out of state for work for two months and used this as my travel bag and then everyday work bag, and so far it’s held up beautifully. The bag feels sturdy and looks attractive. Fits my MacBook perfectly with plenty of additional space for chargers, adapters books, change of clothes, etc. It’s got just the right amount of pockets and zippered pouches for me (I’m not someone who needs a whole pouch for organizing individual pens) and the side pockets are wide enough to fight an extra large water bottle. When I was contemplating this purchase some of the reviews mentioned that the bag was not really usable as a backpack. This was not an issue for me and I actually use it primarily as a backpack—but again, I am pretty small, and I could see how for a larger/taller person the straps would be too short and tight. But if you’re on the small side and looking for a great travel or commuter bag, I highly recommend giving this one a try. ... show more

The tote is super spacious Mac fits perfectly along with all my other purse essentials irritated because it was said to convert into a backpack with I and giving it 4 stars for, not well thought out nor did they have and extra reinforcement straps. Or a extable cross body strap incase the backpack conversion didn’t work for wider shoulder people’s it is literally the most uncomfortable when converted as a backpack… other than the two I mentioned I hope north face will understand the need for comfort at thier price. Make some changes and I’ll keep purchasing ... show more

    • Good for middle school
Size: One Size Color: Khaki Stone
CONS: straps aren’t adjustable & not easy to overfill. Also more color options would be good. PROS: functions as backpack/tote which is good for school which restricts where backpacks can go. It has zipper pouches and a padded laptop sleeve which is good.
