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.

Perfect Carry-On pack for parents

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pack is HUGE. Fits everything I need when traveling - Small enough to not be cumbersome as a carry-on backpack whether traveling for work or personal. Functionally perfect to be a carry-on if you're traveling for both business AND personal. Fits my laptop and electronics and allows me to carry necessities for my 2 kids that need plenty of On-Plane entertainment.

Excellent for travel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bag is big enough to pack for several days travel with room left over for computer and accessories. It feels very sturdy and straps are very comfortable.

Let's see.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything seems up to par. Great design (kinda) strange having the zipper on the felt pocket on the bottom. (?) . AND why not put something over the zippers rather than having them exposed to the elements? I just received it, and will follow up in 3 months. But the material and quality of the build are very nice. I really want to love this bag.
