Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Surge

I use this product mainly as a high school backpack. It has more than enough room for laptop, binders, and textbooks. I had it a year and it's been holding up nicely. Perfect school backpack. Water bottle pockets a little on the small side but will fit most.

Honestly got this bag for school, but I have ended up taken it back country snowboarding, hiking, camping, across the U.S, and even on my hunting, and fishing trips. Now I never write reviews for things however, I definitely owe it to the bag for saving the skin off my back, and shoulder when I got hit by a car on my motorcycle last October! Bag got torn up a bit, on back left side where the thinner material is, but not enough to throw it away. Still 100% functional, and I use it everyday. It's a great reminder to me how well North Face products are made. I would definitely recommend this bag to someone interested in buying it. For sizing info if you're interested... I am a 5'11, 160 lbs male, and it fits great. Extremely comfortable, and not to bad with a heavier load, or while jogging. Thanks!

overall this bag is awesome. I bought it for school as the bag I had before was too small. In this bag im able to fit my laptop and all the books for my 4 college classes (3 small books, 4 full sized books). The pocket for the tablet works great, however i use it for a portable battery pack. The fleece pocket for my sunglasses work great and the two vertical pockets work great for my phone charger, calculator, and etc. Would definitely recommend this backpack to others. When it comes to hiking this bag is also great. I have plenty of room for water and my camera bag fits in this bag as well. The chest strap and waist strap work great as support while on long hikes.

The pack fits very nicely and is extremely comfortable. The padding against your back is thr best I have encountered.

Great laptop bag for frequent air travel. Appears well made and durable. Well padded and comfortable. Front pockets could be revised to be more practical but overall a winner.

I used this backpack for school. I've had previous north face backpacks which I found were too small. I decided to upgrade to the surge. It's very lightweight and comfortable even when filled with heavy books.

Got this for my boyfriend and he traveled with it to Utah/Arizona. He said traveling with it is great cause it has a lot of space and its comfortable but not to hike with. It's bulky and big and made him really hot. Still great bag.

Very happy with this backpack it has plenty of room for everything I carry. I use this pack daily to bike to work, I carry lunch bag, rain gear, extra jacket my phone & still have room. The pack handles the northeast weather like a champ super comfortable & sturdy. Best backpack I have ever owned.

Backpack is very comfortable. Has numerous pockets to hold all my IT gear (numerous and various electronic gadgets). Easily accessible pockets. Made of sturdy materials. Love this item. Wish there were more color options. I love all things red!

I am a pastor and use this bag primarily for carrying my laptop, tech accessories, big books, and running clothes. It serves all it's purposes without making me look like an old stuffy unapproachable reverend. I'm only 31 and I'd like to stay young as long as I can. Plus I can use this on trips.

An avid NF user, it was time for me to update my everyday pack for cpl reasons. Most important was the legacy of reliability and privilege. My last pack I've had for 5 yrs. Flawless, fierce and fully maximized. My young son was jealous not having the luxury of ownership and so I decided to let him inherit my original pack and acquire the Surge. Two happy campers with one purchase. His smile is priceless wearing the pack to school. Pride in what was his Dad's, and what his Dad has complete and full trust in.

I ordered a smaller backpack but could not fit my daughter's lunch bag in it. We went up a size and it is perfect. Everything fits, not too big. Love this backpack. Highly recommend.

This backpack is incredible! I am such a fan! Even though I'm a woman, I didn't like the color options of the women's version so I went with the men's and I'm so glad that I did! I'm a math major and a double minor so I'm always lugging around lots of books and this makes the load seem so much lighter. Not to mention it is incredibly durable!

Used for work and travel! Makes it easy to take out laptop or iPad when going through security because each has its own compartment.

it's very good and have a lot of choices and i like it so much but the only thing needs to be in this model to mixed with leather to can fitted to formal and casual

I purchased this one for my son who is going up to the 7th grade. His school started giving all the students CromeBook to carry and this backpack is perfect for that and all the daily school needs for a teenager. The backpack is light and it doesn't give much pressure on my son's shoulders or his neck, which was my most concern for this growing teenager. Each pocket is very useful and the zippers are working smooth. The fabric is strong enough to endure through out his school years. We live in a place with very cold winter and lots of snow, and I believe this backpack will keep all the important stuff inside secure. I'm happy with all these functions, but what my son was most happy about was the whistle attached to the strap. This backpack is for his school, so he may not need a whistle, but it certainly is an attractive feature for this teenage boy. Even if you are not a hiker, this book is perfect for daily use!

Nice bag, sturdy, well constructed. Designed for women, it's a little more compact. May be a little small if carrying a lot of books and a computer. Bought as a gift so don't know for certain. Overall, I recommend this bag if looking for something descend for a person with a smaller frame.

I bought this for my boyfriend for college and he loves it. He loves the padding for the bag and said it is comfy to wear.

This was a gift from My husband, but I pick it up cuz I need it some specific, like the special space for the computer, really glad I got it, is a really great Backpack, lots of space, soft, easy to load, colors are just great, good Mix!

Use the backpack for casual commuting and to carry work supplies. It is very comfortable and easy to access.

Purchased the Surge Backpack and then ordered Shoes and a Coat. The shoes feel like slippers and the coat fit perfectly. I was concerned the sleeves would not be long enough for my 36" arms, but it was as if it was tailored. Everything produced by Northface is outstanding! I will definitely make Northface my first stop if I need anything they offer. Northface is the best of the best!!!

Very good product great price
