Not What It Seems

I looked at this pack in the store. It does not appear to have a laptop sleeve as it states in the description. Otherwise looks nice. Still in contention...

Did Not Meet My Expectations

I was leaving on a long trip and got this bag for that reason. I absolutely can't stand this bag. It looks great, the straps are comfortable, but the bottle holder is the pits! My bottle is constantly falling out and clanking all over which is super embarrassing. The only thing that has helped is tying my water bottle in the bag with a shoe lace which doesn't look good but it functions. Absolutely do not recommend this bag at all. Because I left for an extended time I can't return it either. It also makes me think the next time I buy something I will get it from a place which honors their products more and stands behind it longer, so I will make my next purchase with the competitor. Extremely disappointed here.

This Backpack Is Amazing, It Has So Much Space!

This backpack is great. I was a little unsure prior to buying the backpack because I heard of the north face backpacks not having enough space. But now that I have one, I can say that unless you have to fit a zoo in the backpack, that is not the case! I use it for school and it fits all the things I need (two binders, two notebook, a folder, two books, computer and computer sleeve, pencil case, makeup products, my keys, +more) and it still has a lot of extra room. On top of that it has a huge laptop sleeve, 4 compartments, and a bungee cord on the front that I like to put my hoodie in if I'm not wearing it. The only negative thing I can say is that it is very top heavy, since there is two compartments on the top half it does stick out a bit more than the bottom. But overall compared to all the positives, it is the best backpack I have ever used for school, and I would buy it 100 times again.

I Would Buy This Again

Used the backpack for a trip out of state and a few local outings. Great design, love the number of pockets, and it is comfortable to wear.
