I have a North Face backpack which I've carried daily for the past 7 years, so I bought this for my daughter to take with her to college. She appreciates the versatility and loves the style.

My kids have all used these through high school and college. This one is particularly great because it has enough room for all the books my high schooler may need, but is not bulky at all! Also very lightweight - wish the books were too!

My 16 year old daughter uses this backpack for school books and iPad during the day, for cheer and lacrosse after school and for trips, skiing and hiking on weekends. It's perfect for everyday, but also large enough and rugged enough for braving the rain and weather.

This backpack is a combination of style and comfort. You rarely get that from a backpack. I can bring my laptop to class and other gadgets, books, umbrella and water tumbler. Other than that, you can resize the bag to your convenience. It's adjustable straps can make it look slim or bulky depending on what you are brining or using it for. The quality of the material is also not typical. The color is wonderful that makes it stand for borealis (bright).

My daughter Uses This For School. Big enough to carry all her stuff and tough enough to get thrown around!

This backpack is great. The material is really thick and it seems durable. The back can be pretty stiff at first but I think it will eventually get more comfortable. There are plenty of compartments in the smaller zipper.

The backpack is so comfortable, even when it's loaded with college text books and a computer! It is very durable and will last me a while. & I love the trendy color options available.

- First time it came in and when I put it on, it felt like I wasn't carrying anything on my back. - It's so light in so many ways. - The comforting patches it has on the back feels fantastic. - The stitching is well and lined up. - Even the drink holders have so much room. - Zippers are also smooth. They haven't got jammed/stuck when I was opening/closing it. - It's amazingly water resistant when I went outside and it was raining. Every drop just amazingly slide off as if the book bag was made of rubber. - Keeps everything in place just like you left it.

Holds all my books and laptop perfectly for school. Shoulder straps are very comfortable for the 25 pounds of school supplies in the bag. Could use one more small pocket in the front for small things like coins.

I use this backpack at college for my heavy books. It is great for comfort and helps reduce back pain. I have fibromyalgia so comfort is huge for me. I have the sea foam green one and it is difficult to keep really clean, but otherwise It is great!

I use this backpack for college, and its incredible. It holds all my textbooks comfortably and stores my laptops safely. Its a great fit and has just enough extra pockets to hold my smaller things.

I bought this for myself because my other Vera Bradley bag was hurting my back and wearing out. As I high schooler, I carry around LOADS of stuff all day. I can fit my math textbook, math workbook(wich is about 4 inches thick), 3 one inch binders and a 3 subject notebook with room to spare. I can also fit perfume, Chapstick, my calculater, a day planner, a book, pencils, pens and whatever else I need in the smaller compartment. The only problem was that I purchased the black and origin blue, and the blue looks more white/gray in person.

I use this backpack for school and it's absolutely perfect. Even with all of my books and laptop, the backpack doesn't feel heavy at all. I ordered it in the mint green color. I love both the color and design and it's a stylish, yet practical way of carrying everything I need as a college student. I definitely splurged a lot on this product but it was so worth it.

I use this backpack everyday as I walk to class. The way it sits on my back coupled with the padding provided makes for a very comfortable fit. I can go through a full day of classes and come home to a painless back.

Purchased for my grand daughter whose prior book bag broken after 1 week of school. Excellent quality, durable and most importantly she loves the look and feel of the new northface bookbag. The construction and padding on the bookbag eases the burden of lugging these heavy books on your bag. Thanks northface.

I use this backpack for school and It's so much easier to use this backpack because it's also a vary light bag. The back padding is also a great part of it to because the is a cushion between me and the books.

I bought this backpack to use during my freshmen year of college and it is amazing. The straps ensure comfort and there's a pocket for your laptop or tablet. I am very glad I chose this backpack.
