had one for my travel, disappoint

1， no size in order site, and 2, it can NOT fully open. yes, it open, for top 1/4 , so if you have couple of pan and shirts, try hard to stuff into whatever you have , after destination, you bid, no more wrinkle free.....

Northface high quality and roomie backpack~

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!

Straps are faulty and didn't last a year

Bought this backpack for my high school son. Within a couple months, one of the straps started to rip. As a result, he had to start using the other strap. For the cost, I'd expect better quality.

Officially this is my 3rd TNF Surge

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

Disappointment

I have used surge 2 daily for 13 years until I changed to new one because of color fade and oldness. Well this one didn't last so long. After two years the straps started to break and because of the reflection parts straps hits the part in my shoulder the fabric broke and it is bad quality. I don't recommend this anymore. If you go then go for surge 2. Somehow the backpack does not fit so well the stuff I would want to put in.

Perfect For Commuting or International Travel!

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'd definitely buy it again, and, probably, in a bigger size

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