Great backpack, not as much room as the many pockets seem

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great backpack. Love all the functional pockets for storage. The only issue I have with the backpack is the outer pockets. Those pockets essentially share the space with the main compartment. So if I add stuff to the outer pockets, you lose room in the main compartment. There's room enough for a change of clothing, a light jacket, and a small toiletry kit. I would like to give it 4.5 stars, since I really had only that one issue.

Great bag for school

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for college in an area where it can snow or rain. I love the color and durability.

I love this backpack! The Ultimate Warrior!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bag. I purchase mines 2 years ago from North Face Ala Moana Goes with me on all my excursions on Big Island and travels to Europe and Africa. I can house my Canon R7/R6Mk2 and 16" MacBook Pro with no issues.

Great Travel Bag

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Though I have not been able to use this backpack yet, it has all the compartments that I will need on our trip to Iceland this summer. There is ample room for extra clothing, water bottle and camera tripod. We will be traveling by van and will need these items close by as we exit and enter the vehicle.

I'd buy again but wish all zippers were metal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality! Bigger bag for taller people. The laptop case is very protective. Only thing I wish the zippers on the top were metal. They'll eventually snap off. Part of the bag has metal zippers they should just have every compartment that way. It's worth the additional cost.

Happy with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There are a lot of positives to this backpack. It's a great look. I was a little bit unsure about the j-shaped pockets, but they're actually really nice and it's easy to get stuff out of them without having to dig. It's a little tough to fit a lot into the big compartment because the laptop compartment is so sturdy but if you have a nice laptop, I could see that being a benefit (having a quality laptop compartment). All in all, I'm happy with that I bought this backpack.

Great new upgrades to the surge backpack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great upgrade from my previous surge backpack that lasted many many years. The distribution of the pockets and sizes are great, and I love the new and improved water bottle sleeves on the sides that hold all sizes of bottles a lot better. It is very comfortable and great for commuting to work on my bicycle.
