Review: IMHO the best EDC pack for those carrying electronic gear. - After a very lengthy search for a backpack that would meet my needs for carrying a laptop and various other everyday needs, that was capable of having greater organization capabilities than just a couple of pockets, the TNF Surge came out on top. After using this pack now for over a week, I am very impressed in its comfort and fit.The pack felt a lot flatter when I first recieved it, but is definitely breaking in and becoming more comfortable to wear, not that it was not comfortable at first. It has more than adequate organization sleeves, all sleeves that are designed for electronics are fleece lined and given extra padding, this includes sleeves for a laptop, cell phone (iphone 6s plus sized), tablet (ipad full size with otter box case), and a smaller pocket that would fit a flip type recharger. The sleeves in the admin pouch area are pretty tight once everything is in place, though if you don't have the otter box tablet case alot more room is afforded in the pockets. I recently used this on a hunting trip, into northern Minnesota, to carry my street clothing and toiletries and had no issues with being able to fit everything I would need for 4 days out. There was plenty of room for more gear had I needed to bring more. The packs cinch straps are angled, which makes compressing your load ideal as it draws the front of the bag up and back. Access into the admin pouch and the two front pockets is not an issue when fully loaded and cinched up, and the front load carrying handle really is a smart improvement on this pack, it makes moving it around extremely natural feeling. As for the two front zippered pockets, one is fleece lined and could be used to house other screened electronics, but I find it ideal for storing a hand gun, the pocket itself sits behind the non lined pocket so the only profile that could be exposed are the contents of that pouch, though when fully loaded the pack doesn't reveal itself as having contents. The side pockets for carrying water bottles are deep and not see through, a quart Nalgene bottle fits perfectly without fear of falling or sliding out, I have been carrying that and an 18 oz hydro flask while riding a motorcycle on the daily commute and have not had either slide up. In all, The North Face comes through again with a solid product that was well thought out. If you have been deliberating between this and some other pack, I would definitely say go with this one, you won't be disappointed.
Review: A Beast of a backpack - Love this product! As a traveling nurse, I need about 100 different things with me at any given time. I purchased my first one when deployed to NYC for Covid in March 2020, have taken it back-and-forth to work every day since and honestly, there wasn't anything wrong with it and not due to gentle use. I overstuffed it to the point of being difficult to close and the super strong zippers never failed. It went from my car, often to the floor where I was charting, on my back when riding my motorcycle and I washed it about once a month. The fabric still looks new - no tears, no stains, no fading, no complaints. The variety of compartments and zippers is invaluable for organization. So why did I buy a new one? I took a five week motorcycle trip from one end of Italy to the other, I always loved the teal color that was not in stock when I got my first one and I decided to treat myself. As expected, it was a true workhorse and an excellent traveling companion. My original Northface backpack is enjoying retirement as a sports bag. ;) Customer for life.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this an authentic product? the dimension and the volume of the bag are different from tnf official website**
A: Hi there,

Yes this is an authentic product from The North Face. We are a certified reseller with this brand, and only send new product directly from the manufacturer.

**Q: is this the 2021 version of the bag ?  I see some pictures that show the earlier ones and some the 2021 version.**
A: Yes it is padded.

**Q: What’s the difference between one size and 15 size? I’m trying to buy the black backpack but it says to select a size and it says 15, not onesize**
A: You should choose size "15" for this color. The North Face made an error on that field when creating the listing. We have informed them so they may correct the error.

**Q: Can this fit a 32oz water bottle?**
A: Yes, a 32oz bottle will fit in the side bottle pockets. We recommend you placing the bottles in the pockets first, then loading the contents of the pack as the bottles will push in on the side of the pack slightly.
