I Would Buy This Product Again.

This is my second north face backpack. Had the first one for 15 years and took it all over Europe. Love this product.

Durable And Practical Backpack

The materials are very durable. The backpack has lots of pockets. The compression straps also help secure water bottles or other tall items that you can fit in the side pockets. I use this backpack everyday on my commute to work. I've taken it to weekend trips, to hikes, and even to a 2 weeks trip to europe. The chest and waist straps help a lot to distribute the weight of the backpack. During one of my bike commutes, I stumbled with something on a gravel road, and I got projectiled from my bike, landing/sliding on the very rocky gravel. I partially landed and slid on my backpack, which actually helped to soften the landing. The backpack barely got a few scratches. That happened about a year ago, and the backpack is still in perfect condition.

I Would Buy This Over And Over Again.

I love this backpack, I needed an upgrade for college and this does everything my old backpack couldn't, on top of that it is super comfortable even with a bunch of textbooks inside!

Great Backpack

This is an extremely durable backpack that appears to be well made. I have purchased this backpack in two different colors.
