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.

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

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.

I use this backpack for school and it fits all my books, folders, binder, and papers! I love how easy the zippers are and it seems like it’ll last a few years. I love how it’s black so it doesn’t ruin my outfits or anything, because the color just goes with everything! And it’s comfortable to wear around all day and this style just fits everything.

This is the second North Face Router I've owned. The first one was used consistently for over 4 years, traveled on more than 100 flights, and got thrown around all over my car and house as I toted it from place to place. It never developed a rip or tear and held up wonderfully. I only bought a new one because my old one was the light grey and started showing it's age through impossible to get out stains. I carry my work laptop, personal laptop, iPad, notebook, and anything else I need for work and it all easily fits. I expect the darker color could last at least 10+ years but if not, I'll buy another one of these as my work backpack.

Size: Good for tall people. not that big but not that small. Waterproof: Not clear if the main fabric is waterproof or not, but it gets dirty easily and feels more like water resistant. Also, zippers do not look like they are waterproof! Comfort: Pretty comfortable to wear, maybe too large for not-tall people. Interior: interior design is good, though feels a bit dense inside maybe because the main compartment can not be fully opened as it can be on many modern backpacks. Color: blue is good but was expected to be more darker blue. Pockets: low front pocket is a bit weird: it is cool how it opens but need to get accustomed to it, I mean, what was the reason for this design it is not clear because it is not adding convenience. That "reverse" pocket on the front is an also kind of weird: why not to open it from the top? why opening from bottom? It can be ok for storing a t-shirt but no logical why it was made this way. Side pockets: they are good and have lot of room. Bottom: it has some kind of leather cover at the bottom so can put it on the floor and then wipe it easily. Overall recommended, price is good and lot of pockets and room inside.

This is a spacious yet still reasonably low profile pack, with great organizational possibilities and a suitable space for anything from laptop to water bottles to small gadgets and odds and ends. Intuitive and well thought out design. It’s a pity the zippers are not of better quality, they seem a bit “sticky” and I wonder how long they will hold up beyond the 10 days I have had the pack…
