Customer Reviews The North Face Router Transit Backpack

The bag works well for transporting items to class, generally I can get my class material and workout clothes into the bag. The bag doesn't carry beverage containers well. Coffee mugs and water bottles consistently pop out. I'm afraid I've littered my campus with my travel mugs that worked their way out of their pouch. The mugs I have recovered after their jumps are scuffed and dented.

Wanted to improve on my selection of backpack to haul my ski boots around. This bag is perfect. It may not work for people with really long feet, though. For my 26.5 ski boots, it's great. It's LOW PROFILE so it doesn't make you hunch over to balance it. Love it. Thanks North Face for doing this one right.

Son wanted a larger bag for high school - Router Transit fit the bill. Tough and unbelievably roomy - he sometimes carries 5 binders, a textbook or two, gym clothes, laptop, and lunch with room to spare Flat-zip laptop sleeve is genius.

Got it for a gift for school and I love it! It's very roomy and protects the laptop well. You can really pack a lot of stuff in it. Would definitely recommend.

I needed a bag that could accommodate the lead brick my company calls a laptop, while I travel from site to site. This bag works perfectly. I can fit the Mini-van laptop in one pouch, three days of clothes, and still have room for a tablet and chargers. I've had the bag for about a year now, and there are no visual signs of wear. I would definitely recommend it, for anyone that does a lot of short trips on short notice.

I bought this backpack for my daily campus use. I carry a mac and some personal items. This bag is super comfortable. The materials used are top grade. I am in love with this bag.

I have bought NF backpacks for my sons in school for several years now. I have never been disappointed and Im definitely not, again, this year! He wanted a large one so I got him the Router Transit and he loves it. So much room with so many padded pockets for all his things. He carries all his books from the 10th grade and the contents of his entire locker, because he doesn't have time between classes to go back to his locker. Carrying that much stuff would be too heavy except for this backpack makes it a snap for him. Very padded and comfortable, expands to fit whatever gear you have, yet compact to carry! Perfect for him and from past experience, this one will look almost new at the end of the school year! Great backpack!

Ignore the 2-star review. Many people choose to assign blame rather than take ownership of their own mistake. The user who posted said review failed to consider whether or not the advertised features and benefits of the product aligned with his needs. He simply chose a product that was not ideally suited to his needs. For savvy consumers who perform adequate research, this bag will perform exactly as you'd expect from TNF. I absolutely love this bag.

It is not waterresistant. I just bought one and tested it out and I got a huge pool of water at the bottom of my bag. I ran it under the sprinklers for 10 secs and that's what I got.

Truly disappointing this bag isn't water resistant or waterproof. One would assume a north face bag would be weatherproof but I guess it's just a logo and an expensive product because of the logo. My books were ruined in the rain and laptop was soaking wet.

I needed a bag that would carry my laptop and my gym clothes for my morning work out and this fits everything with ease. It's very comfortable and spacious. I love how the laptop section is very separate so I'm never worried about putting my sweaty gym clothes in the main section after a workout. There are also several compartments that help you stay organized. I absolutely love the bag.
