Customer Reviews The North Face Surge

I use this backpack for daily use, going to and from campus, and carrying all of my books and supplies. The amount of pockets are great for the variety of things I have to take with me. I can fit notebooks for four classes, my laptop, planner, a pair of shoes, scrubs, and much more. The only thing is that the straps don't always stay the same length, but that is easily fixable.

My friend was super excited to pack his new backpack for a trip to NY and for other traveling needs. He has always wanted one but he hadn't found one that is as practical and efficient as this one. Also, being that it's NorthFace he is sure he will have it for years to come. I got massive brownie points for this gift!

I purchased the Surge backpack online for my son for school. We have had them before and they are excellent backpacks. However, the one we received had a faulty zipper, which we discovered when we tried to zip it shut the first day of school. I didn't have any of the info that came with the bag, not even the order number. I called Customer Service. They looked up my order by my name, sent me a FedEx mailing label and put a new one in the mail within one day. The new backpack arrived within a week, and has the usual NF quality. Easiest exchange I have EVER made.

I've been looking around for a backpack and this one was perfect

This backpack is used to haul all of our daughter's heavy textbooks and accessories to and from school. She has an hour scho bus ride each day and has extra room to pack things to do. Absolutely love it.

Love it! Perfect for back and forth from college classes

Had to have a bag that all my nursing books would fit in and provided good support to my shoulders and back since they are so heavy

Great backpack for high school Laptop fits nicely and is protected

I use it for school holds everything and maintains its structure.

using it for school, great product. Having a lot of room for books and other school supplies, but it is a little heavy bag.

I use this product for school and it works great!

Really love this product. Being a college student with several textbooks, the backpack feels great. Fits both my textbooks and 15" laptop comfortably. I highly recommend this product to students.

I am in law school right now and I bought this backpack after my old one broke (not a north face) and I love it, totally worth the money.

great size, opens wide to accommodate large binder or laptop. Designed to fit a woman's body comfortably, padded for comfort, reinforced for strength

I highly recommend this backpack!!

This year I was very in need of a new backpack for college. After some searching I came across this one and it was the best thing that ever happened. I'm absolutely in love with it! One of my biggest concerns was being able to fit all my big books and notebooks in it and with this backpack that is not a problem. There are lots of convenient pockets to hold all my pens, pencils, highlighters, snacks, etc. I'm also able to fit my planner in with my laptop so it's not getting torn up by the bigger binders and books. I am a college softball pitcher so carrying a heavy backpack usually causes quite a bit of pain on my shoulder. But with the design of this backpack it is very comfortable and I've had no pain in my shoulder or back! Also ordered the Zinc Grey/ Surf Green color and was a little hesitant to how it would look in person. But I love the color!

Perfect for travel. Easy access to each compartment, loads of room!

Great, well organized backpack. Plenty of room for books in addition to a laptop.

I use this product primarily for travel and work. But I also utilize it for day to day activities to hold baby supplies - much more convenient that the traditional diaper bag!

My teenage daughter picked this out to use for her school backpack. Nice padding on the arm straps and back. Lots of compartments to keep your school items organized. The laptop/tablet section is elevated so it won't hit the ground when placing the bag down on it's bottom.

Amazing product by North Face as always. I use it for school and it as all the space needed for books, laptop, etc. Can't go wrong with this product.

This thing has a ton of storage. I really like that I can store my macbook pro in there without a case and still feel safe about it. The major pocket doesn't look big when you first open it but it expands and you can store a ton of stuff in it. I have no complaints about this backpack and definitely would buy it again.

I bought this for my daughter for school, she loves it. She loves all the compartments, even one for her IPad.

As a dancer, I have long days where I don't go home. Therefore, I need a backpack that can hold everything I would need in a day.

This is a great backpack. It is large enough for me to put everything I need in it but it's not to big to carry. It is extremely comfortable and I love it.
