The best for family camping

Bought my first one and thought I’d never need more space. 3 kids later, we have 3 and use for all the gear to fly and then camp at end destination. Enough room for all gear and clothes to cover temps from desert to snowy mountains. First one is going on 10yrs and 30+ flights and still holding up great. Worth every penny.

What happened to the handles?

I have the large bag and use it constantly. Great Bag. Needed a bigger bag for longer trips, and got the XL. Then I realized it didn't have the wrap around hand carry handles. Worthless to me without 'em. I returned it.

I take this on all of my trips

I take this on my mountain trips and trips to cities throughout the US. Lots of room and this bag is durable and easy to identify (I bought the orange one)

WHY OH WHY?!

I own several of these bags in almost every size and I needed a new one for gear and oh was I disappointed. What happened to the straps? If I were to change anything from the straps, I would have made the shoulder straps easier to remove to have a quicker access to the inside, but no, you had to change a feature that apparently most of us miss. My overall feeling is why? Another thing that I miss is the color options, you had really cool bright (I do not mean hipster neon) green ones. Please bring the straps back.

Disappointed - cant survive a simple rain

Have to agree with NG's review from October 2016. I bought this bag in summer 2016 for camping specifically to keep my stuff dry in event of getting caught in the rain. It finally happened just this weekend coming back from a camping trip and had a 10 minute rain shower. Bag WAS completely and securely zipped. Was in the bed of my truck. Opened bag to clean out and found many articles of clothing damp and water droplets in the bottom. Items on the top of the bag were damp too. Will contact North Face customer service. Hopefully it was just bad batch.
