Spacious, sleek, & practical! Great Birthday Gift!

I got this bag as a gift for my boyfriend! He needed a new commuter bag to take to work with him and he loved this one! It had just the right amount of pockets. Big enough to fit extra clothes for the gym, along with work supplies in the second compartment. Highly suggest!

Solid Backpack

It's a solid backpack that is perfect for hiking on the trail or in the city! I love how sturdy and well made it is plus there are plenty of places to store stuff! Would recommend to anyone looking for a new backpack!

Uneven shoulder straps

I wanted to love this bag but I received one with shoulder straps of different lengths, returned it, and received another with the same problem. It has a lot of great storage features but I found the uneven straps intolerable and returned the second bag.

Perfect backpack!

Sharp looking backpack. Wish the waist strap was larger. Have a bigger torso, but otherwise functional for everyday use

Would definitely purchase

I love North Face backpacks I use this to travel because it's so big but can be used as a personal item. No spot for computer but I will just buy a case.
