Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Surge

The backpack is extremely comfortable even with heavy books, laptops, cameras, etc. Plenty of room too!

The backpack is a little bit heavy but it feels nothing when I wear it on my shoulders. I am carrying more weight in this backpack than the old one but I feel much lighter and less stress on my shoulders and my back. The laptop space is the best. The design is amazing, there are just lots of rooms for this compact-looking backpack.

This pack replaces one that was to small. The interior pockets are lined to protect my items. Plenty of room for my office gear and personnel items (sneakers, shorts, etc). Really comfortable and looks great.

I usually purchase Vera Bradley Backpacks, however, they don't offer much support or protection for my items. I decided to purchase from the North Face and I was not disappointed. I have no complaints, it was well worth every penny. Thank you North Face!

I love this bookbag, i just got a second one because my dog ate the straps off of my old one. Definitely would recommend this to anyone that wants an everyday useful school/travel bookbag.

Love the bag

It fits a lot more in there than you would expect and it is very comfortable and durable!

I use this Surge Backpack, for school purposes. The North Face is an amazing brand, so why not buy this. My old backpack was heavy and uncomfortable. But with this new one, I have the same exact stuff, and it's much more comfrontable and breathable. The only flaw would be there's not enough main carpartments.

This was a gift for my college bound daughter. Truly, the most durable backpack she has had and spacious and safe enough for her electronics as well as not being overly bulky. She is a small girl, but the backpack isn't overwhelming in appearance.

We have a granddaughter graduating from high school. We've searched and searched for the perfect gift. We're delighted we found these wonderful backpacks. Perfect style, function and fabrication. We're certain it will the perfect addition as she heads off to college in the fall and useful for all her adventures in years to come.

I like how this backpack improved upon the last Surge model I owned. This one has better ventilation on the back and more padding making it more comfortable. There is an additional pocket in the front which is good for holding headphones/keys and the laptop sleeve is nice as well.

Great for school. Pack fits well and can store all books, computer, etc. without feeling heavy.

"The bitterness of poor quality lingers far longer than the thrill of a low-price paid." I heard this years ago and I've never forgotten what it means. I purchased a North Face Recon 0ver 15 years ago, and this Surge is the replacement for it. Great comfort, room enough for travel with camera equipment and clothing, heavy-duty enough for backwoods hiking and camping, versatile and stylish enough to commute with everyday. I purchased the black / green color and love getting compliments on the style! North Face equipment stands the test of time and use. My first internal frame pack was a North Face Summit Series and it was worn to the nub backwoods hiking and camping; once you own quality there is no reason to settle for less. I own numerous North Face products (Convertible pants, tent, anorak, etc.) and they all carry the same thread; quality. I will always look for The North Face first for my outdoor needs, and enjoy the fact that I can buy them locally and support local merchants.

After 2 good weeks of use, I must say, this is a very nice bookbag. very nice style, roomy, and has a lot of pockets. Ive been using this product for school purposes mostly and it is amazing.

13 yr old son loves it!!!!

It is the best in confort and you can use it to basically anywhere such as hiking ,school, office . It is an amazing bag

I have used these backpacks for high school, college and now graduate school and I will never use another brand. The comfort and storage compartments make this backpack perfect for my schooling!

We use it for school and traveling. The surge definitely meets all of our needs.

Great for travel!!!

Good quality

As a little kid I was taught the importance of a backpack from my older brother. He told me as I graduated High School and went to college that every man needs a good back to get through life. Whether it be for making it to class on time, day trips with your buds, cross country travel, cross hemisphere travel, or just for a bike ride down to the beach. Over the last decade and a half I've been a fan of backpacks straight from the action sports realm and decided to test out North Face since I have many products and believe in what the brand represents. This backpack has everything that I have been seeking in regards to organization but it also comes with a sleek style. I like to call it the perfect bag for the action sports athlete that has grown up now and doesn't want all the colors and logos that most brands have these days. You will definitely not be disappointed with this product. My friends and colleagues have already asked me about it and Im sure it wont be long till we see some different colors around the factory or on our trips searching for surf or snow.

I'm a law school student and I LOVE IT! This is my third backpack this year and I'm not sure why I waited so long to order it. I can fit 3 (!) hornbooks my laptop and all kinds of other random stuff like my planner and supplements. The best part is that I can barely feel it on my shoulders. The two bottle pockets on the sides are huge and held a 50 oz water bottle! I haven't used it to travel yet but I'm sure it will be awesome for the airport. In love for sure! LAW STUDENTS! This is the backpack you've been searching for!

So many pockets! I love it!

I used this backpack for college and it fits all the books I need and is slim.

Great for travel and everyday use. I own a Jeep Wrangler and can't leave much in there with the top off so this backpack is always with me.
