  • Stop searching, this bag holds everything without acting like it’s a burden
Size: 35L Color: Meld Grey/Tnf Black
The media could not be loaded. When I bought this, I was in the market looking to find a bigger backpack that I could use while traveling to and from work and vacation. I am genuinely impressed with how many items this backpack can hold. It is even comfortable to wear even while it is full of stuff. The fabric is high quality and durable. After using it consistently for a couple months now, I have not noticed any defects, rips, tears, scuffs, or scratches. I love the design, and the pocket locations are very thoughtfully and strategically placed. It has a padded compartment for a laptop. The straps are adjustable and comfortable when wearing it. I have not had any issues with the zippers. I am a chronic over-packer, especially when I go on vacation, I still had room left over when using it as a carry-on backpack. This backpack was a major upgrade from the one I had previously. ... show more

  • Plenty of laptop space and padding for daily carry of my 17" gaming laptop. Love it. Go get one
Size: One Size Color: Timber Tan
I was looking for an upgrade in size from Lenovo Legion 17" backpack for my gaming laptop and accessories. I found for my daily carry between a couple books, large gaming laptop, and accessories - I was maxing out the size and warping the zippers. I was pleasantly surpised at the 40L space finding there was plenty of room for my 17" laptop (madatory) and the large compartment has plenty of room for Moleskin notebooks, laptop charger, headphone case, and a controller with room spare. Love the color which is very different than my usual black backpacks I've bought for 4 decades. Good style, about right for the money and materials while staying relatively lightweight. Material thickness and padding around the laptop was really important and the best part of this bag in my opinion. Laptop is extremely well insulated and feels very safe. Probably not very versitle in the light brown color but black and grey Im sure is plenty professional but not for me this time around. Solid versalility and functionality is on point. Glad I did my research and quality of materials on Northface doesnt dissapoint. For someone that uses his backpack literally everyday - the Router is perfect. A+ recommendedation and though big - doesnt feel or look that way. Thanks NF ... show more

  • Comfortable, Secure, and Customizable
I love this backpack. I splurged for Grad School after my original pack couldn't handle the heavy loads. Its very large, fits all my tech AND snacks AND toiletries for long days. I feel spoiled with the quality of the pack, it seems very durable and the seams stay tight even when I pulled really hard to check. The straps are comfortable and flexible due to an extra piece of canvas at the tops. I really like the unique front pocket, and that you can adjust the width of the pack to accommodate more or less stuff. On light days, I cinch it in so it's thinner and also brings the weight closer to my back. It is worth the price and I told my husband I will never need a different pack. He is thinking of getting one now! ... show more

  • Amazing Backpack for Someone Looking for a Lot of Space
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
This bag is HUGEEE. I use it for school and it fits my lunch, 8 folders, 6 notebooks, a pencil case, 2 books, my water, my iPad, and a bunch of miscellaneous things like money, phone, AirPods and more. It’s got so much room and when I’m carrying a lot of heavy stuff it is still comfortable.

  • Great utility computer urban hiking backpack!
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Navy/Tnf Black-npf
Smooth and easy to wipe down; not overly fancy - so hopefully folks won't be eye-catching for thieves. A lot of zippered pockets and great smooth zippers so a lot of my stuff can be logically separated. A real laptop sleeve which actually won't let it hit the bottom of the bag/ground. The backpack has the comfort chest and comfort waist buckles when you carry extra heavy loads to distribute the load. The size is perfect with side and bottom straps to expand or slim down as needed. So far, it feels durable. ... show more

  • Very spacious and good looking backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
Great backpack for my new Lenovo legion 7 gaming laptop! Fits my llano v12 cooler in the main compartment and all my other accessories including my wires, and I'm planning to buy a portable ssd to put in the front pocket. Also, the fleece lined pocket works good for a mouse pocket.

  • Great Everyday Backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
This is a great all around backpack and offer some degree of water resistance which is helpful when you live in a tropical climate where rain is a distinct possibility. Pros: Water resistance Laptop sleeve that is big enough for a MacBook Pro Durable materials Compression Straps Large compartment for storing a lot of stuff Chest Strap for helping better distribute the weight of a heavy backpack Cons: This has a waist strap that is generally pretty useless It lacks a reinforced strap for securing the backpack over the handle of any luggage ... show more

  • Sturdy Luggage
Size: 35L Color: Tnf Navy/Tnf Black
This is a solidly built, substantial piece of luggage. It's big enough that airlines may consider its dimensions as carry-on luggage rather than as a personal item. There is decent padding. It has various compartments, padded slots for PC/tablet, and zipped pockets. The water bottle holders are strong and deep enough. The shoulder straps are comfortable even when the pack is fully loaded. It has 2 handles for easy carrying. It has a lot of storage capacity at 40L. It may be too big and heavy to use as a day pack touring around town. But for a travel backpack, this fits the bill great. ... show more
