First time pretty happy
I never had a north face back pack however between the other models this is the one. Everything is functional, love the pockets and the comfort. Only detail, please add a luggage belt. Beside that I love it

I wish I bought something else
This bag did not meet my expectations! Plenty of pockets for storage but as you fill each pocket it got tighter and section kind of invaded the other sections space. The laptop storage, thank god I did not bring my laptop or iPad with me. A day out in rainy condition the laptop storage was wet inside, I'm guessing from the zippers? The rest of the bag seemed to shed off the water well. Wish there was a suitcase strap to put in the carry-on bag while at the airport. Bag was kind of heavy with the thick padding for the back and made the bag feel heavy after a few hours. Even worse when it got wet.

Perfect Backpack
I've had this backpack for 3 years now. Perfect for the past 3 years of college. I even bring it on trips and it's perfect. I literally love this backpack and recommend it to everyone. I fit multiple notebooks, iPad, large laptop, chargers, pens, pencils, headphones, calculators, and more in this thing and still could put a sweatshirt or something if I needed to.

Almost the perfect bag...
The configuration of the pockets is well-designed and laid out. Took it on my first trip this weekend and was almost perfect. The only missing feature is a strap to hold the bag on a suitcase.
