Strap Ripped at the Seam?!
Sad that the strap of this bag ripped at the seam and that North Face will not replace it because it was not purchased directly from them even though it is their product.

Perfect Blend of Style, Comfort, and Functionality!
After years of my daughter choosing backpacks solely based on looks, she finally listened to my advice and opted for the North Face Router Backpack (40L). What a game-changer! She now carries all her school books throughout the day without needing to constantly visit her locker, and thanks to the ergonomic design, her back doesn't hurt anymore. Not only is it incredibly functional with ample space and organization, but the sleek look and stylish design have made it her favorite for school, sports, and even travel. This backpack truly ticks all the boxes-comfortable, durable, and versatile. A total win! Thank you, North Face!

Great backpack for traveling.
Great backpack. Built with durability in mind but not the backpack is not heavy even with nothing inside. Very spacious. I was looking for a replacement of Osprey Ozone46 (which they no longer make) and found this backpack. I like that you can compress the backpack with straps if it's not fully loaded and love that it has multiple storage areas. I would buy this again.

Router backpack review
The Router Backpack is a nice replacement fo my Surge backpack. It's large and roomy with both the rear pocket with the laptop space and middle pocket. The 3rd pocket which holds smaller items such as pens and zippered pocket area is Ok, which is similar in volume as the Surge, although I remember when that pocket was much larger in earlier versions. The top "sunglasses" pocket is spacious but don't like the position of the zipper at the bottom of the pocket, where items could fall out if the zipper is open. Othewise, it's a fine backpack good for travelling.

Shoulder Straps Broke
After about 3 months of use (high school student), one of the shoulder straps has started to separate from the bag. The only option NF offered was to ship it off to be evaluated for repair or replacement and that it could take 6-8 weeks. I had to buy another backpack while that is being done.

I will be buying another one when this one needs replacing!
Love the bag! The only "complaint" I can think of is the small pocket that's made to hold glasses is shaped funny. Highly recommend the bag tho!!
