A Great Backpack For Commuters

I'm sure glad I purchased this backpack. It's a large capacity for things I purchase and there's been a lot of instances where I just filled it to the max while shopping. I love the padded hip belt and the chest clips. It keeps the backpack close to my body while I am walking to and from home the backpack is well balanced, and has enough compartments where I could put more things on the exterior. It's a great backpack thank you.

Great Pack Would Recommend To Others

Great pack. I love the different compartments and appreciate that I can carry my 32 oz water bottle in one of the front pockets or in the side water bottle holders. Plenty of space for all that I need. Like that the computer holder is elevated off the bottom and keeps the laptop from hitting the ground when I put my pack down. Lots of pockets to separate your stuff. Just know that filling one of the compartments does take up volume in the other parts of the pack (these seems obvious but is important). Only thing I would change would be better places to keep pens in the organizational compartments. Mine keep disappearing down in the front compartment!

Surge Backpack 2025

I use the backpack daily for work. I have own several north face surge backpack. The 2025 I'm highly disappointed. I have to struggle to get 32 oz water bottle in the side pockets. They do not stretch like the previous years edition. The inside are much smaller. The same items I had in my 2020 surge edition does not fit into this 2025. north face please go back to the old formula. I should not have to struggle to get my water bottle in my side pocket because it does not stretch. after I put a 1 inch binder, laptop, chargers and pen in my backpack it's full. my previous backpack held binders, laptop, sweatshirts, scrubs, pens and chargers and had room left over.

It Held Up A Few Months But Straps Are Ripping

I use it for work moderately, not too heavy but would average 10lbs there about. However after a few months of wearing the strap is ripping and I will need a new bag soon. Really don't want the same quality, as I would like something that lasts a little longer.
