Why We Like The Router 40L Backpack

Stash your laptop in The North Face Router Backpack, hop on your trusty, two-wheeled steed, and enjoy the ride across campus. A little jostling is no big deal to the Router, which features a padded laptop compartment for your most valuable asset, as well as a secondary compartment for books and binders. When the weekend strikes, dump the electronics and load up on gear and snacks for a quick day hike with the friends.

Outstanding pack. Comfortable back support. Recycled and durable materials. There were more pockets than I expected. I have enough room for my laptop, class notebooks, flight gear, and my overnight kit. From packing snacks during the day, to work, to the after work hike. Good pack

My Grandson loves it!

I gave this backpack to my 14 year old grandson for Christmas & he loves it! His previous backpack was a NorthFace backpack also but the strap broke, but not before he got very good use out of it! He needed one with more room to it & the 'Router' fit the bill!

Definitely worth it!

I got the North Face Router Backpack (40L) for my son in high school, and it's been perfect for him! It's roomy enough for all his books, laptop, and extra stuff like sports gear. The padded straps make it comfortable to carry, even with a full load. It's tough, water-resistant, and looks great too. He loves it
