Great travel backpack

Giving 5 stars even though I decided to return. It's a perfect travel backpack but just too much for someone who is only commuting to work. I loved that is has it's own dedicated laptop pocket and that there's so much room but it was just too much for me. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a good amount of space in a bag!

Worst backpack EVER!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hello! To begin I got a north face backpack a couple of years ago and loved it! It lasted for years! However I bought one with my own money last year and the quality is just awful! The pockets tear so much so that I can't put my water bottle in on either side! I will NOT be buying one again!

we take this bad boy to Disney

We don’t use this bag for school or work... we take it to Disney for those grueling park days with no break back at the hotel. We are park commandos and go from open til close. This backpack has seen many airport and theme park trips and has never missed a beat. Holds anything we need and more while being comfortable and a decent size to lug around all day.

Would buy again.

This pack rocks. Bought for my son that’s in college. He loves it. It has a hard back so if he drops it with his laptop, it’ll absorb the shock. Good looking. Also has side pockets for water bottle.

Worst backpack I ever used

I bought the backpack with a lot of hope. It was such an uncomfortable backpack. The ergonomics was so bad that it was hurting my back. Had way more expectation with such an expensive backpack.

Pretty Solid Backpack

Very spacious, great compartment placement. I personally wouldn’t trust the padded laptop compartment or the backpack’s water resistance, but for a daily college bag it has not disappointed me.
