I bought this for a 2 week combination business trip/vacation in Europe. I did a lot of research and chose this based on the great Zappos customer reviews. My 17 inch laptop fit well with some room to spare. The bag held all of my work papers and the balance of my personal vacation items. Side mesh pockets were perfect for my water bottle. The bag is a bit big for daily use, but for a vacation carrying lots of stuff, perfect! Highly recommend!

This is the best bag for me! It is so comfortable and fashionable too! I am very happy with my purchase. Zappos shipped it so fast too. I've received my bag in two days after I laced my order. Thumbs up!

Have been using this pack for day trips throughout SE Asia. Capacity is quite generous. Nice pockets, strong zippers and durable materials. My only complaint is that the shoulder straps are rather wide, more appropriate for men than women. I have the ink blue and love the color!

I loved this bag! It was exactly as Zappos described it. It arrived very quickly and was just what I was hoping it would be like. I purchased this bag for a trip to Europe in the Fall, so I haven't actually used it yet. I really like the inner utility/media pocket. It has a place for just about anything including: MP3 player, cell phone, journal, calculator, etc. I also like the reflective tabs on the front of the bag, which make it easy to see or be seen in the dark. North Face products are always high quality, so I'm sure it will hold up just fine. I'm looking forward to putting it to the test soon. I would highly recommend this bag, especially the brown/black combo.

I ordered the bag for my boyfriend because he carried an old, ugly, back in the day lap top bag. He wanted a backpack that would fit his 17" laptop and this was it. He loves it. He can fit his laptop along with a couple books and materials such as pens can be organized in a separate pocket. It is a sleek design, not bulky, and provides adequate protection and space.

I have a small frame and it fits perfectly on my back. Worth every penny! Great pockets...I managed to fit everything I needed for a weekend getaway.

I commute on foot or by bus and have neck issues so a backpack has worked the best for me (instead of messenger-style or duffel/tote bags). Tried out different styles and brands and so far, this has worked out. The sizing is great; fits my shoulders and the length is just right (I'm 5’3�.) It is large enough to fit all my stuff, distribute the weight well, is sturdy with good zippers, and I don't look like a high school kid. I use this backpack every day to commute to work with my gym stuff (shoes, clothes) and has enough room to fit an extra change of clothes. I don't carry a laptop in it (though it has a deep pocket with a strap to hold it to the back of the pack) so put my gym shoes (sz 8.5) in there. There's 2 mesh pockets on the outside that can hold water bottles. I find it very useful to carry a banana in the outside pocket without the banana getting all brown by the time I get to work. I thought I'd never use the bungee on the outside but it's been great to strap in a light jacket. It's also a handy place to stick your hat in it when you have your pack off while riding the bus and pulling it out when getting off the bus. So far I've only used it while the weather has been nice, we'll see how it does in the wetter and stormier months. Need to comment on the color. Gypsy Pink didn't tell me much but the coloring is awesome. Most of the pack is purpley-red, with a panel of brighter red in the front with accents of bright pink (bungee, and a few strips in the front) and grey. It's a adult girl's pack. :)

I love this bag! I got it for camping this summer and it is great! It has quite a bit of room and is very comfortable. The different pockets and holders are nice. The best part is that it looks great! My boyfriend is thinking about getting one as well.

This very stylish backpack is professional-looking enough for me to carry it to work and to MBA classes interchangeably. It seems to have a lot of straps hanging off it at first, but you can easily remove and store the waist belt straps for future use. The bag has good organizational features and I like its ability to carry a couple liters of water. Overall a great bag.

I originally ordered a 29 which is my normal size and i had exchange them. Didnt even button up, so i think they run a little small...
