Good, but older model was better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The backpack is great, but my first impression is that it's a bit less sturdy than earlier models. This could be good because it is lighter, but I hope it holds up over time.

Good, but the older models were better

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a staple of the north face lineup, but it feels lighter and potentially less sturdy than earlier models. The lightness is good, but I appreciated the thicker straps on the earlier models. This bag has thinner straps and overall I just hope it will hold up over time.

Versatile protection for economic price

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lots of pockets to keep things organized. Lab top compartment that has a shell for extra protection. Water resistant plus storm flaps on the pockets. Lots of room. Economical price.

Pleasantly surprised by space, color and durability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack to replace an adidas backpack I'd had for 8 years but the strap broke. I'm pleasantly surprised by how many pockets there are and how much it holds. I thought it was going to be a bright pink but it's actually more like a muted mauve and I LoVE it!

Good find

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great backpack for a college student. Everything has a pocket and it doesn't feel heavy with a lot in it. Water bottle pockets even hold larger water bottles
