Customer Reviews The North Face Surge

It's the most amazing backpack, can hold everything. Went on a trip for 5 days for a wedding I was in and it fit everything even my hair dryer, curling iron, and flat iron and even though that isn't really the purpose I had in mind for it. It works as a dual book bag and suitcase! I bought it to carry all my heavy med school books and it's great. It's very sturdy. It's well worth the price in my opinion. Plus it has a great laptop protective pocket and it looks good. I love the green color.

Works well with my new laptop and has room to grow and other everyday activities, gym workout gear - and large enough for a weekend getaway.

I purchased this for my teenage son. He wanted a backpack for school and international travel. He loves it. He has already used it on one trip to the Middle East and he was surprised how well it performed.

I ordered this for my husband who travels often for a few days at a time. He's had it for six weeks now and no complaints. The laptop compartment is well protected, works for a 17". He can carry enough clothing and things for work for about 2-3 days. Seems to be holding up well so far, though it's early. No issues with straps or zippers or seams.

The bag expands to carry a big load. I use it traveling on planes and it does the trick for a 1 day trip.

Great bag for travel, work and beach! Was able to hold my 17 inch Mac Book Pro, a handful of work files, my shoes and other miscellaneous necessities all at once. Probably the best bag I have ever owned!

I purchased this pack for travel. For a family of four it is perfect to pack everything we need for a day away. When I travel for business I prefer to take this instead of a briefcase. My computer, iPod, headphone, and books all fit perfectly. The drink holders are awesome. The fit and finish of the product are excellent, and the pack looks great, too! Zappos had the best selection by far! Thanks.

I love this bag! I think the very front pocket is sort of awkward and not that useful, but other than that it’s awesome. This bag fits my mac book and my work HP, but not at the same time. Seems very durable. All in all a great investment!

Great bag. Lots of pockets and room. The extra padding for a laptop is great.

Perfect for what I needed it for. It hauls a Dell 630 laptop comfortably in the designated pocket, also I have a Dell 430 in the pocket beside this one. It has ample room for other daily or laptop necessities. Perfect to use for an overnight business trip, along with the laptop you got enough room for a change of clothes and any other personal items. Fits perfect in the overhead storage on the airplane and it's not too big to fit under the seat if you have to place it there. Very comfortable straps and ergodynamics you literally could wear it all day. Along with all this, it's very easy to get into such at the security checkpoints in the airport, actually had several positive comments from the TSA workers on the bag. That's enough, it's a great bag. I can't think of anything negative to say about it. Cannot go wrong buying this one and with the super great service from Zappos, you'll have a very positive experience. Zappos is just awesome.

My kids usually went through at least 2 60-80 dollar backpacks a year until I bought this one for them. It has been 3 years going now and still no rips. It is large enough to hold everything that a high school student needs. It is a bit pricey, but it is a good cost per use value.
