He loves it. Great size, plenty of room and separate compartments for everything he needs to carry with him. The laptop compartment has xtra padding and protection. It’s a good looking backpack and I’m hoping this lasts him for a long while. (I will update if it’s needed.)

It is a great bag and has the most comfortable harness and strap system for shoulders, neck, and back out of 7 different top rated backpacks i tried. The bag is well made and has a good amount of organization small and large pockets as well as solid protection for a laptop. Few things to consider....North Face, here are a few changes I'd like to see... 1. YOU HAVE TO ADD A LUGGAGE PASS THROUGH 2. Wish the front pockets were a darker grey inside, they are too light and I could see them maybe looking dirty over time. 3. My old Surge which I loved for 8 yrs around the world had a place to stash the waist straps so they are out of sight and out of the way if not using. Why does this new model not have that??? 4. Would be cool if you had one or 2 little secret zip stash pockets somewhere 5. Hard to explain, but front looks a little sloppy compared to some other bags I've seen so if you can somehow tweak that and also make the logo way smaller, more incognito would be good. Overall, it really is a solid, lightweight bag and more comfortable to carry than anything else I tried. With those changes this thing would be PERFECT as my every day carry and bag i bring on plane while traveling, hiking, exploring, etc. For reference, I'm a 20+ yr world traveler and every NF product I've purchased has been extremely reliable over the years.

I bought this backpack for my daughter and she says it has the exact amount of storage space she needs and more! It’s so easy to use! And dare I say it’s so in style these days. The quality is absolutely amazing and I love it. The use is so good. I’m too obsessed with the style.

Absolutely amazing backpack! Super functional as it can hold SO MUCH, while still keeping everything organized. I love the computer sleeve, which will keep your computer nice and protected.

This is the perfect backpack for high school/college students. It feels comfortable to walk with all day and efficiently distributes the weight. It feels light, which makes it more comfortable. It feels a little bulky and rugged compared to other backpacks. It has very good storage capacity, more than enough for any student. The rain protection is also pretty decent. My only gripes with the backpack are that the sternum straps are hard too take off and that it doesn’t stand up when put down vertically. It is very functional.

This bag replaced an old, workhorse backpack that I wore daily and put to many uses, from carrying a laptop and meeting materials, to farmers market and grocery items on weekends, to carrying water bottles, cameras and trail mix on hiking trips. The North Face Surge has the functionality I was looking for in a replacement: a padded pocket for my laptop, an adequately sized middle pocket, two external side pockets for water bottles, and three, smaller zippered pockets (one on top, two on the front) providing generous storage space for pens, iPad, notebook(s), etc. The shoulder straps and back of the pack are well-padded making for a comfortable carry. The pack also has a sturdy, convenient handle at the top for those times when accessibility is required.
