Customer Reviews The North Face Router

Great pack, middle big pocket could be easier to use. Rest is all good.

Great bag use! I use it as a long weekend bag

Bought this for my son to use for school. After 10 months of use the stitching on the strap came undone. I thought the warranty dept. was warranty & repair, but it's not. We were able to get the backpack returned to us and I've repaired it.

I returned it because the old router and the router transit are better. Bring back the good ones.

Great backpack for a high school student

My daughter loves her new book bag. It's perfect for high school!

Seems well made and us very comfy. Great product support as well.

Is a large backpack. You can get lost searching for stored things with so many places for storage.

Glad to recommend this backpack. It is my new everyday backpack. I use it for commuting / running errands, on foot or bicycle. There are lots of pockets to keep organized. The internal laptop pocket is great. It took me a bit to figure out my routine - what stuff goes where. Its big enough to fit clothes and stuff for a short weekend trip. Chest and waist straps keep the pack snugly attached. It is sturdy - and a bit heavy.

Big and spacious. Front pocket is odd and the front zipper pocket is weird to use.

I bought a new blue North Face Router backpack to replace an old red Surge backpack by North Face that I had since January 2008. I have grown attached to my old backpack since I travelled the world with it. I found in many ways the old backpack had much superior construction and better features than the new one. The zippers were tucked under a flap hidden from view. The pull cords were much thicker and terminated with an easy to grip tab. The side pockets were made of a strong mesh and had a pull cord that could tighten to prevent smaller items from falling out. The strap that goes around your waist could be tucked into hidden pockets built into the back padding. Thick loops on the back of the backpack and rings on the front shoulder straps could be used to tie or clip it to additional carry items. I did not find any of these features on the new Surge that my daughter has or the new Router that I got. I didn't find the layout of the pockets of either new backpack to be as good as my old backpack, but maybe I was just used to the older layout. The new Router is slightly bigger than the new surge, so that is why I chose the Surge this time. The Router is still a well constructed back pack, but North Face decided to to pinch pennies on its construction and it seems more geared to city slickers than the outdoor. So I'm a bit disappointed that I got a run of the mill item and not the quality that North Face built it's reputation on. The reputation that used to symbolize the rugged outdoor.

The best bag I brought in years!! I had 3 coworkers tell me they will be buying the same one when I showed them all the compartments in the bagz

My son uses this bag for school Super roomy and sturdy Bit on the heavy side

Amazing book bag , very spacious , alot of packets to keep everything organized, main compartment has three 5 subject notebooks and the laptop compartment feels very safe. Overall great bag

It is the biggest size

Bought this for my daughter for school. Very good size but straps could be stronger.

I use this backpack as a college student and usually fit my iPad and binder with 3 notebooks and a book. One thing I love about this backpack is that it's able to adapt to the size you need. So you don't need to have your backpack look big while it's empty. It's able to change to whether you're carrying a light load or heavy load by loosening the straps and allowing the backpack to expand.

I bought this kind of backpack for eldest last yearNow my youngest son like it too thats why I bought another one recently. It works great and my two sons love it.Light but durable.I would recommend this to anyone to buy this kind of backpack.
