  • I traveled two weeks in Scandanavia with this pack
I went to Stockholm, Copenhagen and various cities in Norway, including Northcape, with only the clothes I was wearing and whatever I could squeeze into this pack and a fanny pack (about a week’s worth of clothes but more socks and underwear and no jeans). I stayed in hotels but did a variety of touristy activities including city exploring and hiking, including Pulpit Rock. It was doable but I had some issues: - It was raining a lot of days and everything in the bag got soaked so you will need to buy a separate rain cover. The outer shell is nylon but the zippers are the fail point so you can’t just use weather proofing spray. - The stretchy mesh pockets are very stretchy but not really that deep. There is an adjustable strap but it doesn’t keep things in or secure unless the pack is always right side up. I had a 32L hydroflask that dropped way too many times. Also the pockets show wear quickly (knicks and holes). It is fairly comfortable for hiking or city exploring though. I consider it more of a glorified backpack. Yes there are some technical features like a whistle but I’d prob go with something else if you want a real solid hiking pack. ... show more

  • Very nice!
This backpack is a very nice product. The fit is almost perfect. The straps seem a bit small, but it’s adjustable. I’ve used a different backpack for quite some time, but had extra pockets that weren’t used much. In this backpack, I was able to use up all the space perfectly, and it has a very nice interior design, especially for the laptop compartment. The backpack itself looks much better in person, and I believe this design is pretty underrated as of 12/25/19. The interior itself looks rich and should last a long time. A suggestion would be for the third compartment, where there is mesh, and a smaller pocket, would be maybe to extend the space a bit more. I found it a bit small, but overall 5/5 stars. The fabric for devices is pretty soft. It’s more soft and more rich feeling than the backpack I used before. The backpack itself is hard for it to stand up, but it’s pretty fixable with setting it at an angle. I believe for the price it’s at, this backpack is pretty good in value, and worth the buy. Would definitely recommend this backpack. -Daughter ... show more

  • North Face Quality
After reading some of the reviews I hesitated. However it is built with the quality you expect from North Face.. I have dealt with them and they always honor their warranty. This is a comfortable fully adjustable day pack. If the shoulders are uncomfortable you have it adjusted wrong. The shoulders stabilize but do not carry very little weight. You may need to read how to adjust the straps to get a good fit. The material is strong and sewing is excellent. The compartments our perfect for a laptop the main reason for buying one. Most day packs have skinny straps. These are large and padded. One person thought is was to heavy. It is heavier than some but there are some with thin straps and made of nylon which s okay if that is what you want, Perfect pack for a day of hiking. I got the green cameo looking pack because it was at a giveaway price. I love the color. ... show more

  • Another high quality product from North Face! We've never had a better brand.
Se spend the money on these backpacks because they LAST! Our five kids ALL use North Face backpacks and have for many, many years since I discovered how well they hold up to being tossed around, LOADED with way too many books, and the typical wear & tear put on them by kids. Our oldest daughter had been carrying the same backpack around for four years and probably just got tired of always having the same one. We were happy to fulfill her request. I plan to wash the older model and I guarantee one our other kids will like it, be ready for a change, and will BEG for a new backpack. No problem! I'll already have a high quality backpack that looks brand new ready for them! ... show more

  • Good bag for college!
I got this backpack for my sophomore year of college. It is very cute and had plenty of room for my books and MacBook. But on the other hand this bag does not like to sit up right by its self, and is always tipping over. Which for me I don’t like because I have my computer in there with books and don’t want the books to fall on the computer. Other then that it’s a good bag. ... show more
