  • Fun, durable, and worth the money!
I recently purchased a North Face backpack, and overall, I’m really happy with it. The color is absolutely awesome—vibrant, stylish, and easy to spot, which makes it stand out from other bags. The durability is excellent as well; the material feels tough and built to last, perfect for daily use whether for school, travel, or outdoor activities. I especially appreciate the comfortable straps and sturdy zippers, which add to its reliability. Inside, I do wish it had a little more room to accommodate extra notebooks or larger items, as the main compartment feels slightly limited for heavier school or work loads. However, it makes up for that with a variety of fun and functional pockets. There’s a place for everything—laptops, water bottles, smaller accessories—making it very practical for staying organized. Overall, it’s a durable, stylish backpack that’s versatile and dependable, even if it could use just a bit more space. ... show more

  • Durable and roomy
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
This North Face backpack is perfect for my high school daughter! It’s very roomy and has plenty of space for all of her school supplies, books, and everyday essentials without feeling overly bulky. The black color looks great and goes with everything. It feels sturdy and well made, and she loves it. Definitely a great backpack for high school! ... show more

  • BEST BACKPACK EVER
Size: One Size Color: Forest Olive/Utility Brown
I am SO EXCITED about my new backpack. I basically work out of my backpack all day long. I have an office, but I'm rarely there. This thing keeps me packed, organized, and comfortable on the go. I should have tossed my old Jansport YEARS ago. There is a pocket for everything in this. Everything has its place. Feels good on the back. Totally worth the money. The interior main pockets are a bit narrow, but it just forced me to organize a bit better. Works well for me. ... show more

Bigger and more rigid than I thought. Can carry everything you need for easy travels.

  • Very good backpack
Size: One Size Color: Forest Olive/Utility Brown
It's spacious, has many pockets and attends my necessities completely. If you need a backpack for daily use I'd very likely recommend this one. The fabric is water repellent so it helps in the rainy days but doesn't dismiss buying a backpack cover for rain if you live in a rainy area. The color is just like in the ad and I love it. The design also helps a lot with carrying weight as I don't find it makes my back hurts as my previous backpack! ... show more

  • Great backpack! Amazon can't be beat on cist or color selection.
I bought the North Face Women's Surge Backpack for my daughter's freshman year of college, and it has been an excellent choice. North Face has been our go-to backpack brand for years due to their amazing durability, and this model did not disappoint. The multiple compartments and built-in laptop protection sleeve make organizing easy and keep her tech safe. One of the standout features is how well it hides dirt from sitting on classroom floors, keeping it looking clean. We found the best price and color selection on Amazon, which was a big plus. The only drawback is its size—at 31 liters, it's one of the largest backpacks out there. However, with all the books and supplies she needs to carry, we couldn't go any smaller. Highly recommend this backpack for any college student! ... show more
