The North Face

Surge 31L Backpack

Fantastic looking backpack w/ some limit

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I bought the charcoal version (not currently sold) and it looks fantastic. I still look like a bit of a goober with it when I rock a suit to work, but much less of a goober than anyone else with a backpack. Build quality seems high. It is comfortable. I have the equivalent pack in light grey from patagonia (3100 vs. 3200 cu. in.), but the Northface pack feels much smaller because of the pocket orientation. I hate this part. The patagonia pack could fit all of my office stuff + random stuff (keys, etc.) + gym clothes and gym shoes. I can mostly fit this stuff into my Northface, but it's a lot tighter. I think the designers should have used fewer pockets (there are like 10 total) and opened up the main compartment a bit. But again, for looks and general functionality, this is the pack!

Extremely functional work backpack !

Perfect work laptop bag.

North Face backpacks are the best

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loyal to this bag. Looks good. Holds a ton. Comfortable. Lifetime warranty. No brainer.

Great bag for school

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for college in an area where it can snow or rain. I love the color and durability.

Great backpack, not as much room as the many pockets seem

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great backpack. Love all the functional pockets for storage. The only issue I have with the backpack is the outer pockets. Those pockets essentially share the space with the main compartment. So if I add stuff to the outer pockets, you lose room in the main compartment. There's room enough for a change of clothing, a light jacket, and a small toiletry kit. I would like to give it 4.5 stars, since I really had only that one issue.

I love this backpack! The Ultimate Warrior!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this bag. I purchase mines 2 years ago from North Face Ala Moana Goes with me on all my excursions on Big Island and travels to Europe and Africa. I can house my Canon R7/R6Mk2 and 16" MacBook Pro with no issues.

Would buy again

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite backpack. It holds a lot. Very durable
