I got this bag when I graduated from community college and transferred to the state college (go Vikings!) It lasted me 3 years there, plus a year of graduate school until I graduated with my Master's.I've had this bag for 9 years now (GASP! No WAY it is that long!?) and it still looks almost new! I can't believe how well it has held up. After college, it has gotten fairly regular use as an overnight bag, a weekend camping trip bag, a backpacking day pack on car camping trips, and most recently, to haul my son's toys & toddler paraphernalia when we go on overnight trips.It worked great in terms of keeping my laptop (ancient iBook G4, oh man. I am a dinosaur.) safe and protected. And, going to school in sunny Portland, Oregon, it's rainproof capabilities were tested and found to be excellent. Stuff would occasionally get slightly damp when exposed to the downpour for extended periods of time, but nothing ever got SOAKED and no puddles. The side mesh pockets can hold a Nalgene.... but, buyer beware, I did snap the elastic cord in one of mine doing this once at school. That summer break I mailed it in to the excellent TNF warranty department who fixed it right up free of charge and I have not had a problem with it since.I love how much stuff I can cram in this thing. It holds a SHOCKING amount of STUFF. It is a great multitasker - the one bag to get the job done. I have other bags now for traveling of course - an LL Bean Boat 'n Tote, a Le Sport Sac weekender... but nothing is quite as versatile as this puppy. Or easier to schlep around for airtravel. Can't beat those comfy straps, with the chest & hip straps for additional support to.If you are looking for a backpack to last you a lifetime, this one is it.

My husband bought this backpack for me as I needed a new laptop bag. I am in grad school and need something to schlepp my laptop around as well as some books, etc without ending up with a sore back. This bag has worked out great. It has a pouch in the back that you laptop slides into, or if you are using it for hiking, you can put a water pouch in here - it has the opening to allow the tube to come through. It has pouches for water bottles on either side, a small front pocket, and a middle pocket with an inner divider and little sleeves to tuck credit cards, etc into. One of them is a zip mesh pocket. So there is plenty of little spots to tuck things. The bag holds quite a bit, I can easily fit my laptop, a few notebooks and a few large textbooks in here.We also use the backpack as a daypack for hiking. It has comfortable straps that go over the shoulders, a chest strap and a waist strap. I've had this backpack for I think 2 years now and use it every single day and it still looks nearly new (a few spots are a big scuffed, but seriously has held up amazingly well). Got to love the north face - they make quality stuff.
