Customer Reviews The North Face Surge

Very good

Love this backpack! Got it for my brother, he loved it!! A must have!!

I brought it for my son. He's in 8th grade, he likes it because it has a lot of packet.

Perfect for lots of gear! Comfortable and reliable! We love this bag!

Perfect school backpack. Enough storage for books and lunch bag

This is one of the best work/school (even a day trip) configured backpacks I have ever owned. Device, open center, front access, and hidden compartments. I just love this backpack; it's outstanding.

Lots of room and useful compArtments.

My son likes the backpack. Just as described. Seems well made. Unfortunately, we did not have his college email when we ordered the backpack so we did not get the discount.

allows me to put a lot of things in lots of specific slots

We got this Surge pack to replace an OLD North Face pack and it has been great! It is the right mix of size for smaller trips without being too heavy and bulky. It has enough adjustments that I could use it as well as my daughter. We also used it as a carry-on for a plane trip.

This backpack is great for high school use. It has tons of pockets and fits all materials needed as well as gym gear.

Great for back to school

Great Backpack and perfect for teenage son.

Great backpack large enough to carry all the necessary items for college, including a MacBook

Great pack

Using for school, lots of space and compartments to organize my stuff

Great backpack!! We ordered a new one this year for my son as he loved his North Face backpack from last year.

This product is excellent and is a great investment for the price!

Using for school

Great quality back that is perfect for everyday use!

Brought this pack for college. It's really well made, the material is water resistant, however I wouldn't say it'd keep rain out in larger storms. The harness system is really well padded and adds nice support. The laptop compartment is extremely well padded and there is a decent false bottom so you can be sure your laptop won't drop to the floor when you're placing it in. The two external pockets as well as the hidden fleece lined pockets are all very spacious (the right pocket can easily fit a 32 oz hydroflask), however I do wish the mesh pockets for the admin panel and external pockets had more elasticity to ensure cables, pens, etc won't fall out if the bag was turned onto its side or upside down. The 2nd "main compartment" is really spacious and can easily fit multiple days worth of clothing or textbooks. The removable hip strap is a plus as well for those of you who don't like it. The sternum strap is infinitely adjustable as it slides up and down on rails. However this bag has slight drawbacks (at least in my opinion) that I think would truly take this bag to the next level. I wish the bag had side compression straps rather than just two at the bottom. Additionally, the admin panel pocket only goes down about halfway down the bag. Thirdly, if you hook the pack on its grab handle, the hook or whatever your using to suspend your pack will leave an impression in your grab handle which is annoying. Lastly, I wished that they had hooks on all of the zippers to keep it consistent as well as ensure all zippers are equally as easy to access. Overall though, I'd still highly recommend this bag and it seems to be very well made, have excellent features, and able to last for many years to come.

My son loves it!

I got this for my 9th grader. They do not use lockers at school. He loves it. Comfortable, tons of pockets. That was his main request, lots of compartments. He's super pleased!
