Why We Like The Vault 21.5L Backpack

As a casual backpack with durability for adventure, the The North Face Vault 21.5L Backpack sets you up perfectly to transition from the classroom or office and trek out into nature for an escape to unwind. With plenty of storage space for your schoolwork and hiking gear, the Vault’s large main compartment fits a few of your daily textbooks, while a smaller compartment keeps trail snacks close in reach. There’s also a padded laptop/tablet sleeve, so you can bring your work with you if you’re not quite ready to head back into town. Updated storage management in the front compartment houses smaller items in zippered security. And the Women’s specific FlexVent shoulder straps comfort and provide a bit of stretch and foam back panel cushion throughout your entire day.

Used as a school backpack - does the job

I've had this backpack for over a year now. Definitely not waterproof and smaller in size but it's been adaptive to many parts of my life and intuitive in use.

yes

I used this bag for school and overall it's a fantastic bag lasted me for almost two years and is super great, but is VERY small on the inside. I can barley fit two binders in here, I can't fit a lunch or anything, I do not recommend this bag if you are planning to use it for school. ALSO when full looks very funky.

strap broke after one month!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like the reviewer above me, my strap broke, but only after a month! I was on my way to work with a laptop, cell phone and not much else and it just broke. I thought North face products were reliable, but this is very disappointing. And since I didnt' buy it at north face I can't bring it back to a north face store to have it serviced. Instead I have to ship it back at my expense.

Strap broke after 6 months

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack for college (from Dicks sporting goods) and it broke after barely 6 months of use. I never had more than a computer, water bottle, binder, and a few small things in it. Never more than 3-5 pounds. The strap broke and fixing this issue has been incredibly difficult and costly. It's not worth it. I expected much better quality from the North Face. Also the front pocket design isn't great. Causes the bay to tip over a lot and it's really annoying.
