  • High quality pack
Size: One Size Color: Thyme Brushwood Camo Print/Tnf Black
You really get your money’s worth, this is my work pack, I got 7 years out of my last one until the main zipper was worn out and wouldn’t hold together. I have other north face bags for weekends and day trips. It’s the only brand I buy. This one was $30.00 off so I snagged it Thanks

  • Downgraded version of the NF "surge"
I ordered this bag because the "surge" I've had for several years is getting a little worn around the edges. Since it's used for my mobile office and is viewed by the public, and doubles as a day-pack, I thought a new one would look a little better. I was disappointed to find that NF changed the pocket adjoining the laptop sleeve so that it is webbed. This reduces its capacity and eliminates its use for hauling the legal sized portfolio that fits snugly in my current bag. NF also downgraded the two exterior zippers on the face of the bag. While they are larger and open more quickly, they are no longer weather proof as the ones on my current bag are. Anything in those pockets (e.g.: cell phone) will be soaked in a rain storm. All in all very disappointing. ... show more

  • Awesome bag for work and travel
This is an awesome bag for work and travel. I looked at about 10 backpacks including Osprey Cyber and Thule Enroute Escort; the Surge was the winner. It’s well made, has plenty of pockets and organization, can fit a weekend’s worth of gear, keeps my laptop secure, and (depending on the color) fits in in a corporate environment. ... show more

  • I love this backpack. Exactly as advertised.
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
Great bag for everyday use. Lots of pockets. Great zippers that are durable. I find it very comfortable on my back and shoulders. This is my first surge pack. I had a vault before this surge. I like the surge much better. Would buy again.

  • Best back pack
This is the second surge I have. The first one was the surge I from 2014. Great backpack, I used it almost everyday for college and then for work, zippers never failed, great durability. This new models looks great and has improved usability. Totally recommended!!

  • It wasn't the same.
I have a previous version that was damaged, so sought to replace it. What I received is not the same bag I thought I was getting, although the product name is the same. The pockets are not the same, so when expecting to move items from one pocket to another, the pocket either was missing or of a different size. There is an additional pocket to hold a Kindle or something smaller than a laptop but the lip of the pocket aligns with the iPad pocket, making it difficult to slide something into it. I didn't even notice the additional pocket for a couple of weeks. Had I known of the reconfiguration, I would not have ordered it. ... show more

  • Replaced my bulky laptop shoulder bag with this.
I use to use a big bulky shoulder bag to hold my gear since I telework back and forth to the office and home. This bag has alot of storage for my daily use. Absolutely comfortable to wear. Even holds 2 of my Yeti 36oz. Ramblers in the side pockets.
