12 months ago(Mostly) Great backpack for work and beyond
Classy enough for work and functional enough for traveling and other needs. It's cheaper than most other "classy" backpacks I considered purchasing with similar functionality, and so far I am very happy with my decision. Pros: - I like the look and feel — seems well made and the fabric is not too crinkly or shiny - Very comfortable to wear - Two bottle pockets are great for evening out the weight. And the side pockets are deep enough to keep the bottle from falling when the bag is horizontal. - Chest strap and back strap (for traveling) are great features. Cons: - I find myself needing one extra easily accessible pocket for my keys. The velvet pocket up front is great for the phone but it's a single compartment. - The zippers to the main pocket can be hard to access when you have a bottle (they get tucked away behind the bottle and underneath the fabric fold) - Does not stand up easily unless very full — not a dealbreaker for me but can be annoying for some

1 year agoGood Sturdy, Compact Backpack
The North Face quality is excellent, and I've enjoyed my 2022 Utility Pack for backpacking trips across Europe. However, for classes, it felt too large—I'm a small-framed woman, and the Women's Utility Pack looked oversized on me (people even joked I was backpacking to class). The Daypack, on the other hand, fits me perfectly. While the smaller size is more manageable, it comes with trade-offs. Space is tight, making it harder to fit everything, especially if the side water bottle pockets are full. My 2022 Utility Pack had expandable buttoned side compartments, while the Daypack replaces them with a stretchy band—I now use it to hold a pen for easy access. The main compartment has a section for an iPad/book and small zips, but when fully packed, accessing them is difficult. It also has fewer compartments, no bottom shoe storage, and lacks attachment points, making it less versatile. The new gold "TNF" interior branding is also less appealing than the previous muted beige in the older lineup. Before purchasing, I compared it to Lululemon bags in-store, and the difference in quality was noticeable. The North Face material feels sturdier and more premium, whereas the Lululemon bags felt flimsy in comparison. That said, despite missing the extra space, the Daypack has been functional for my needs as a medical student. It fits on my desk at the library, encourages mindful packing, and should pass as a personal item when traveling. With my packed-full Utility Pack, I often worried it wouldn't qualify as a personal item on certain airlines—ultimately wasn't an issue, but this bag would certainly relieve some travel anxiety. I also plan to take it to the hospital when I start my rounds, and I'm hoping the smaller size will fit in lockers. Overall, I'd recommend this as a school backpack if you don't carry a lot of textbooks or as a casual day bag (the "Daypack" name is fitting). Like my Utility bag, I hope the Daypack will loosen over time to allow me more space :)

1 year agoPerfect for travel
Perfect for my trip - will fit under the seat of the plane, and I love that it has tote handles so I can wear my larger backpack and carry this one through the airport. Also, the color is perfect 👌

Perfect work bag
The color is beautiful. I like the size of it so that I can use it as an all-in-one work bag. My lunch containers fit without having to turn them sideways. I really like the two bottle pockets and the style of them.
