Customer Reviews The North Face Isabella 3.0

This backpack is perfect for commuting to work on both the subway and the ferry. I love the strap across the chest because it really helps distribute the weight.

Was bought for my wife she is a teacher. It holds all her supplies and she loves it.

Now that my kids are getting older, this bag is the perfect transition from a traditional diaper bag that I'm actually excited to carry!

Love this lightweight backpack. Perfect for a woman traveling.

This is my second Isabella after I decided to get an upgraded version. First of all, let me review the old one. Awesome backpack with its size and necessary pockets. The top small pocket for keys and headphone is definitely the best feature. The only complain is the water bottle pocket. It is too wide and shallow so my bottle often fell out in its own. Because of it, I have decided to go with the upgrade version which has a much deeper pocket. BUT the other pocket on the other side again is wide and shallow. Things can fell out easily! What is it for? What is the designer thinking? Another thing that bothers me is the zipper for the "middle" pocket. There is only one zipper head that goes all the way to one side which is not very convenient.

I got this backpack for my birthday last year for school. Its really sturdy but I have a really hard time fitting all of my folders on top of my computer in it. Also I have an issue with the water bottle pockets, if I have all of my folders and computer in my backpack and then try to fit my water bottle in the pockets my fingers always get crushed, the pockets are simply not big or stretchy enough. There is also two pockets on the side but if you try to put something in both of the water bottle pockets all of your folders on the inside get crushed and your computer won't fit. I would say that if you're planning on using this as a backpack for school, maybe look at one of their other designs but I would think it would be perfect for trips because the size and sturdiness of it is really good. Also this isn't their fault but if you get a lighter color it gets dirty, so especially if you're planning on taking it on a trip maybe buy a darker color.

Just got back from my first trip with this backpack and I loved everything about it. Perfect size, very comfortable to carry (clearly designed for a woman's shoulder size, A+), just the right amount of pockets and zips. I just wish it had a trolley sleeve. Not a dealbreaker, but it would have come in handy for travel by train and plane. Day trips, it's perfect.

Absolutely loved taking this bag on my trip, so spacious

This backpack came as I expected! Love the size and durability!

Bought this backpack for work! Great alternative to the tote bag I carried. Lightweight, durable and just enough space!

love this color, and it is light in weight.

Love the backpack. It's stylish and practical.

Perfect size. Adjusts easily. Cleans up well.

Wanted to get a bookbag that could withstand a little rain and this bookbag does just that. A good size for every day use and has enough space to put a pair of sneakers and gym clothes. Only issue if you put anything bulky in the front zipper pocket it makes it a little difficult to rearrange anything in the pockets behind it.

Love the pockets and sleek exterior! The fleece-lined laptop pocket is so soft and the mini pocket at the top is perfect for a phone/wallet.

Surprising amount of space while so sleek. Went with a different color, but honestly love this color as well

Great color, functional and great material. I love this backpack.

It's smaller than my Recon but I like how lightweight it is. I enjoy thats it's slim and easy to carry.

I use this backpack for school. The backpack is smaller than the Recon I used to have, but I like the compactness. It's light, has good space and compartments for school, and very durable. The water bottle holder is a little skinny, but fits my 18oz bottle.

I love the bag it fits my laptop. But I wish it was slightly bigger

Color, material are super cute! The compartments are good sizes and great support for laptop with all essentials!

The bag is really adjustable and comfortable. It is waterproof so I don't have to worry about the weather outside.
