Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Surge

Daughter uses it for school! Lots of compartments.

Love the backpack. The tech pocket with organization is a little small you can't put too many things in there if they aren't really flat. Tons of pockets! The color is perfect! Really comfortable on your back. Hard to get the removable straps off the bottom of the backpack.

1. Style. I went with the classic Black and Grey. There are about 10 other color palette combinations and they are as equally chic. 2. Comfort. The SURGE is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association and I know why! Even when I've loaded it chock-full, it doesn't sag down my back or weigh on my shoulders. The padded straps are so secure especially with the two latches across your sternum and lower belly. I forgot it was even there. 3. Weather. When I arrived off my flight from Chicago, Atlanta decided to pour cats and dogs on me, yet The SURGE stayed 100% dry on the inside. My camera, clothes, and laptop were not damaged or wet in any way. The SRUGE's zippers are thick and hearty with a fold over the zipper preventing weather from penetrating into the interior. *One of the main reasoned I went with The North Face in the first place.* 4. Travel. The description is correct, TSA standards are met when carrying your laptop through the conveyor belt and scanner. I must say, I was skeptical TSA would allow my laptop to stay in the backpack, because it was part of their chant, "Shoes off, belts off, and laptops out!" Well, one of the main reasons I decided on The SURGE was for the 180 degree fold out section for your laptop. AND I had no trouble getting it through both times. My co-worker had to pull his out because his backpack did not allow to be folded out and another traveller picked up his grey crate with his laptop in it by mistake, because the other traveller also had the same laptop, honest mistake, but an ingredient for the worst trip ever. Luckily, I had The SURGE! 5. It holds EVERYTHING! A 15" laptop w/ charging cords, a pound of peanuts, Bose noise canceling headphone case, 6 pairs of socks, 4 t-shirts, a DSLR camera, a lapel microphone w/ receiver/transmitter, extra phone charging cords, ear buds, wireless mouse, two 200 page books, 2 button up collared shirts, deodorant, toothbrush & toothpaste, and water bottle in the side pocket. It's perfect.

This backpack is amazing. I want 5 more. It is so comfortable to wear all while carrying my mountains of school work. There is an insane amount of pockets and I absolutely love it. There is a space and pocket for everything you could ever need. On top of all of that, it's so cute. What more could you want? Nothing. Absolutely nothing because this backpack has it all.

My husband had a North Face backpack and used it for work everyday, and even in three years it looks brand new. So when my daughter's backpack broke over the summer, I decided to get her this backpack. She loves the color; dramatic plum/luminous pink, loves the amount of pockets and features, and she's really pumped for school now, so she can show it off :) As a mom who can't really shop, this makes me really happy. But the only thing I thought didn't work for us was that the shoulder straps seemed a bit stiff and a bit rough, and when she wore the backpack, the sides rubbed into her neck. That was the only thing we found that the backpack could have improved, but we're very pleased with it, so if you're reading this, I suggest you sould buy it!

This bag is very comfy and looks really nice. I've gotten many compliments on it since I've had it. It may seem a little pricy but it is definitely worth it. Your paying for the absolute best bag you can find.

This is a great size backpack for a high school student. It has plenty of room for books and binders. It also comes with a section to store your laptop.

Great backpack good quality - fit all my books and computer. Very comfotable.

Great for a commuter college student !

I use this backpack at college. I carry my laptop in the designated laptop sleeve which keeps it protected. I also fit several books in the main compartment. I pack extra clothes and gym gear in with my books and laptop so I have everything I need for the day.

Love Northface BACKPACKS !!!!

This is by far the best backpack I have owned. I had The North Face Amira backpack for years previously until I was looking for something a bit bigger. I use my Surge on a daily basis and could not be happier with it. The straps are designed perfectly and allow for comfortable wear. The padding is amazing in the lower back and very breathable on the upper back. There are so many compartments and a lot of space. I specifically really like how the electronic compartments are lined with this really soft fabric. I would highly recommend!

It is great when you have a lot to carry at a time since it is very spacious. Also, it is very stylish and looks great with everything. I don't see any flaws with the backpack.

My grandson, high school junior received this as a gift...a high-achiever, tennis player and extremely detailed ...never too organized, started his first day back to classes feeling prepared as he would say.. "strutting my new SURGE"! He left more confident knowing this backpack would enable him to locate all his school items without having to fumble around during instructional class time. Could not stop thanking me enough as he explained how important this school year is and now with the "SURGE"... "comfort" and "organization" with no time wasted. More time to concentrate on school work and tennis! Thank you North Face...we have the "SURGE"!

The previous NorthFace backpack I owned was the Surge from a few years ago. I use the backpack mostly for school, but my last backpack was used for backpacking across Europe all summer as well. I like the Surge because of the size and the separate compartment for the laptop. Because of it's durability, I refuse to buy any other backpack! I was a hesitant to buy this Surge because of the modifications, but I think that they've done a great job with the upgrade. I would highly recommend this backpack.

It has a lot of pockets for different things and it is great to use and also very durable

I love this backpack! All my classes are on the same day so i have tons of stuff to lug around, including my laptop. Everything fits perfectly and it doesn't feel heavy so its super easy to carry. I would absolutely buy this again!

I use this daily to carry items to and from work. It's comfortable, light, stylish, and generally an awesome product!

I bought this with my own money and I'd like I say it's one of my top investments. So practical and sleek in design.

Purchased for my high school age son who commutes to school. Invested in a higher end backpack for more back support. It's a bit heavier but great support.

I use this for college and it is perfect for my books and computer.

It is fantastic ! She loves the amount of space and all the pockets. It was well worth the price.

I use this backpack for college and for my laptop. The laptop sleeve does not fit my 15inch Mac with a slim hard shell case on it. If you don't have a case on your laptop it will fit very snug! Overall the quality is great, colors are vibrant and it's great for college!

I love it it's so much better than the previous surge!
