Customer Reviews The North Face Kaban Backpack

I am using this bag to commute to work. Inside I carry my laptop, Nintendo Switch, a portable foldable camping stool (for my long waits at the bus stop) and all my accessories (portable battery, cables, wireless headphones). Did I mention it has ample side pockets for beverages!

Great product for college students who don't need to carry much, and certainly don't want to sacrifice durability for fashionability.

I have a feeling he is going to put every penny that went into it to good use.

Truely recommendation about this Backpack.

Everyday computer bag

Very stylish bag indeed

Great backpack!!!

I use it for light travels and cycling.

Got this to maintain items for my online courses. Plenty of room for my laptop, books, noise cancelling headphones, and random cords for connecting my computer to a larger monitor. Also in the military so needed something that would protect my computer but also blended in with the rest of my gear.

The computer slot is perfect for a Mac book pro. And the book pouch is perfect for all the note books I need during the average college class schedule.

I love it more than what I think.

I bike from Brooklyn into Manhattan regularly for my commute. This pack is solid. It carries my laptop, change of clothes, extra shoes, and my daily essentials. The back of the back is harder than most, which is a really good thing when I'm biking - I really like the support it gives. I took a pretty bad crash with this thing on my back and it barely took any damage. The design is also sleek, so it looks like a professional bag, but is still super functional. Really well built pack, highly recommend.

I love how it has enough space to carry all the things I intended to use the backpack for.

Super nice backpack! It is roomy with a lot of packets for different uses. The design is cool and stylish. I really like it!

Been searching for a backpack for my commute since my last one broke. Went through two bags but no love after using a few months.... then this came to my attention... read all the reviews and checked out all YouTube reviews as well. Made up my mind and ordered this one. Was a perfect fit for my purpose. Light enough to carry everyday and roomy enough hold all my daily belongings including my laptop and iPad occasionally. Quite sturdy outer material with weather proof feature. And it is stylish!!! So handsome!!! Couldn't be happier with this backpack. Anyone considering commute backpack, I strongly recommend this one, wholeheartedly!!!! Cheers.

This backpack looks so sleek and fits everything you need it to.

This backpack is a dream to walk around with, great shoulder straps. Amazing pockets with the outer smaler one ideal for small things you use all the time! Powerbank/wallet/cream/anything small. The only thing people might dislike is the fabric on the back? It will get scratched no matter how careful you are. I personally don't mind this, as it just shows that i use it.

I use this for school. I am in 8th grade with a school with about 10-30 minutes of homework a night. This works well for me. It can hold 2 binders that are 2 inches but when you get to 3 it can get tough. One thing they don't show is that the front compartment that has all the organization the zipper only goes down the side of the back pack on one side. I was a little disappointed to see that but I like it overall and on the side where the zipper does not go all the way down there is a small compartment with a zipper for anything that needs quick access

This backpack was to replaced my older backpack and boy it definietly met the standards! it was a really well investment, good space for books and very light! I definitely knew I'll be using this backpack for years

I'm engineering student who loves all things tech and needs space for it. This bag does exactly that, even though it doesn't have as many compartments that I would like, it definitely makes up for it by the space in each compartment. I carry quite a heavy laptop and some other gadgets and the weight of these things add up quick. In my older backpack it was extremely uncomfortable to carry a heavier things but this backpack does the ABSOLUTE BEST at distributing the weight of the bag!

The Kaban is my work backback. I carry my, a large laptop, water, umbrella, etc, etc. I do a lot of walking too and from the office, appointments. This backpack is extremely comfortable, has plenty of room and is a slim design. It is very professional looking, but durable and handles the NE weather perfectly. Love it!

i settled online for the Kaban backpack to accompany me on my everyday commutes to work by electric bike. i wanted a sleek, simple looking bag that would cater for my commuting requirements. i am thrilled with it. the size and shape are perfect for riding; the slim width and hidden zippers give it a compact, tidy aspect, while retaining roomy volume and great comfort. it is not a lightweight bag, but the vented backplate and ergonomic strapping make up for this. i get a little tingle of excitement every time i zip and strap up; it has become synonomous with the freedom of the road :-)

After losing a laptop in a rainstorm where my old backpack turned into a bucket, this was just what I needed for winter in Seattle. Super roomy, sylish, and dry on a wet day. Has a stiff back pad, which can be good or bad depending on what you want. I like it. Protects the laptop better and keeps the pack from slouching.

Very simple design with many organization & storage options. The Basecamp material panel protects my laptop from the rain which has its own dedicated sleeve. The sternum strap and foam back panel allows me to comfortably carry any load. It does however get full very quickly and i had to replace the zipper pulls because the piercing jingling drove me insane. If i could change the design i would add a second zipper to the main compartment and replace the metal zipper pulls with cord ones.

I have only been using this pack for a few weeks but but it is completely weather resistant ( I live in the PNW ) and it has more than enough storage for all my daily activities
