Customer Reviews The North Face Surge

Love my surge back pack so far. I am 6ft. 2 in and it's comfortable. A great travel and every day pack with the ability to hit the trail.

I never had a north face back pack however between the other models this is the one. Everything is functional, love the pockets and the comfort. Only detail, please add a luggage belt. Beside that I love it

I've had this backpack for 3 years now. Perfect for the past 3 years of college. I even bring it on trips and it's perfect. I literally love this backpack and recommend it to everyone. I fit multiple notebooks, iPad, large laptop, chargers, pens, pencils, headphones, calculators, and more in this thing and still could put a sweatshirt or something if I needed to.

I love this bag. It's sporty and also good for work as it looks very professional.

The configuration of the pockets is well-designed and laid out. Took it on my first trip this weekend and was almost perfect. The only missing feature is a strap to hold the bag on a suitcase.

I love this backpack! It carries all my college supplies and when it rains I do not have to worry that my computer or homework will get wet!

Very rugged, lots of storage. Love it!

My son was due for another Northface backpack and liked the new design for this particular bag. He loves it. It is good quality, as expected for Northface, and also roomy!

Officially this is my third of the newer 2024 version. I had a couple of older versions in the past and I had to say this is one of my favorite backpacks from the way it's built in the bottom and the side pockets, the user-friendly Surge is a great EDC you will not be disappointed 31 L of awesomeness

I purchased this bag for my son for college. He loves this bag because it holds his apple computer and had a lot of room in this bag!!

Ton of space and a lot of pockets that's great for commuting or international travel. This backpack stands out to me because of the computer sleeve in the main compartment. That feature is missing from many other TNF backpacks. I've seen some people complain about the sleeves on the side but I don't find it to be a problem at all. I have a 32 ounce water bottle and it works perfectly fine. I actually prefer the fabric vs. the mesh because it's more snug and secure. My only complaint is I wish it had a luggage strap. That would have really taken it over the top but I'm still very happy with my purchase.

I use it with my job stuff, laptop, etc. all the time and not only when I travel to the office. Very well designed!

Great backpack. Very spacious. Lots of pockets. Very well made. I don't love the zipper pulls but they are growing on me. They are stronger than they look. Adjustments are easy to make on the fly. Overall maybe a little big for a commuter pack but if you are like me you are always prepared so you need the space

I'm sure glad I purchased this backpack. It's a large capacity for things I purchase and there's been a lot of instances where I just filled it to the max while shopping. I love the padded hip belt and the chest clips. It keeps the backpack close to my body while I am walking to and from home the backpack is well balanced, and has enough compartments where I could put more things on the exterior. It's a great backpack thank you.

Great pack. I love the different compartments and appreciate that I can carry my 32 oz water bottle in one of the front pockets or in the side water bottle holders. Plenty of space for all that I need. Like that the computer holder is elevated off the bottom and keeps the laptop from hitting the ground when I put my pack down. Lots of pockets to separate your stuff. Just know that filling one of the compartments does take up volume in the other parts of the pack (these seems obvious but is important). Only thing I would change would be better places to keep pens in the organizational compartments. Mine keep disappearing down in the front compartment!

Absolutely love my new Surge backpack from The North Face! Super spacious, durable, and perfect for work, travel, or hikes. The laptop sleeve and organization pockets are a game-changer.

I've been using this Surge backpack since 2019 and it has been great! I've heard my family's thoughts on the newer model of the same backpack and they are not as impressed. The straps are more prone to breaking and the seams have started tearing pretty early in the life of their backpack. This being said, my older model has been so great! It's gone through years of hauling notebooks, folders, textbooks, water bottles, and clothes for practice after school. One of the shoulder straps did begin to tear last year (2024) slightly but a quick stitch-job has got it back to working order. I would definitely buy a North Face backpack again!

I use this book bag for work. I love that it has many compartments and I am able to keep everything organized. I also like that my water bottle fits nicely. The pouch for my computer is adequately padded to keep my laptop safe.

Hold everything I need. Using for college and I could transition the bag as a work bag.

I use it for work and anytime I need to have my laptop and iPad on me (a lot of the time). I love how the laptop sleeve has a false bottom so when you place the laptop in the backpack it doesn't accidentally knock the surface the backpack may be resting on. I use the sleeve next to the laptop sleeve for files, and it has enough space for everything I need without being too big or too small. Comfortable, no worries. I'm not thinking about having any other backpack - it suits my needs perfectly.

Great product, an upgrade from my old surge!

Nice quality backpack. Hoping it lasts my daughters through high school. Perfect size.

Very spacious backpack, has tons of pockets that are easily able to hold everything I need it to. Big plus is that the side water bottle pockets fit my 32 oz yeti water bottle

Perfect size. Good amount of pockets for organization. Comfortable to wear around.
