The media could not be loaded. When I bought this, I was in the market looking to find a bigger backpack that I could use while traveling to and from work and vacation. I am genuinely impressed with how many items this backpack can hold. It is even comfortable to wear even while it is full of stuff. The fabric is high quality and durable. After using it consistently for a couple months now, I have not noticed any defects, rips, tears, scuffs, or scratches. I love the design, and the pocket locations are very thoughtfully and strategically placed. It has a padded compartment for a laptop. The straps are adjustable and comfortable when wearing it. I have not had any issues with the zippers. I am a chronic over-packer, especially when I go on vacation, I still had room left over when using it as a carry-on backpack. This backpack was a major upgrade from the one I had previously. Read more

Smooth and easy to wipe down; not overly fancy - so hopefully folks won't be eye-catching for thieves. A lot of zippered pockets and great smooth zippers so a lot of my stuff can be logically separated. A real laptop sleeve which actually won't let it hit the bottom of the bag/ground. The backpack has the comfort chest and comfort waist buckles when you carry extra heavy loads to distribute the load. The size is perfect with side and bottom straps to expand or slim down as needed. So far, it feels durable. Read more

This is a great bag very adorable and has tons of pockets in space. My son is able to use it to walk around college campus and have all his stuff with him. The material seems thick and very durable. Read more

I was looking for an upgrade in size from Lenovo Legion 17" backpack for my gaming laptop and accessories. I found for my daily carry between a couple books, large gaming laptop, and accessories - I was maxing out the size and warping the zippers. I was pleasantly surpised at the 40L space finding there was plenty of room for my 17" laptop (madatory) and the large compartment has plenty of room for Moleskin notebooks, laptop charger, headphone case, and a controller with room spare. Love the color which is very different than my usual black backpacks I've bought for 4 decades. Good style, about right for the money and materials while staying relatively lightweight. Material thickness and padding around the laptop was really important and the best part of this bag in my opinion. Laptop is extremely well insulated and feels very safe. Probably not very versitle in the light brown color but black and grey Im sure is plenty professional but not for me this time around. Solid versalility and functionality is on point. Glad I did my research and quality of materials on Northface doesnt dissapoint. For someone that uses his backpack literally everyday - the Router is perfect. A+ recommendedation and though big - doesnt feel or look that way. Thanks NF Read more

I love this backpack. I splurged for Grad School after my original pack couldn't handle the heavy loads. Its very large, fits all my tech AND snacks AND toiletries for long days. I feel spoiled with the quality of the pack, it seems very durable and the seams stay tight even when I pulled really hard to check. The straps are comfortable and flexible due to an extra piece of canvas at the tops. I really like the unique front pocket, and that you can adjust the width of the pack to accommodate more or less stuff. On light days, I cinch it in so it's thinner and also brings the weight closer to my back. It is worth the price and I told my husband I will never need a different pack. He is thinking of getting one now! Read more

Overall, it's a great backpack with lots of room. I wish they had designed some of the outside pockets and their zippers in a different style. Lots of storage space, and flexible fabric. I've only used it once, on a trip, since I bought it. The only thing that would keep it from a five star rating is I'm having trouble keep the shoulder straps on my shoulders. I've got a big frame.

Great backpack for my new Lenovo legion 7 gaming laptop! Fits my llano v12 cooler in the main compartment and all my other accessories including my wires, and I'm planning to buy a portable ssd to put in the front pocket. Also, the fleece lined pocket works good for a mouse pocket. Read more

This is about the size of a carry-on in backpack form; about double the size of a standard North Face backpack (I own every size they offer). I absolutely love the quality and has pockets for everything! If you take trips, this is an excellent travel bag that should be able to fit everything you need. Read more
