Customer Reviews The North Face Vault Backpack

Good backpack. Doesn't hold a ton of books as it is not too deep, but like that better because it forces you to balance the load by carrying books. It is relatively tall, so you can fit things on top of books. I like the two water bottle mesh pockets on the sides and the organizer in the front pocket. Very comfortable to wear.

My son just started 1st grade. It was time to upgrade his "preschool" backpack with a style and quality backpack that would take him through elementary and beyond. My son had tried this bag on at a local store and I was sold. It is a bit big for him but he's growing and he'll need a bag to carry all his school "stuff" for years to come.

The backpack fulfills all the requirements I could ask for and is the perfect size for my school supplies. It would be perfect if it had a laptop section but it doesnt. But other than that its perfect the way it is. It's durable and thanks to the belt clip it's awesome for riding my bike to and from campus because the backpack doesn't move around as much like others do. Highly recomend this backpack to anyone and to friends.

I got lots of compliments about this bookbag, its pretty and useful.

If you want a Northface backpack but don't want to spend a lot, I would definitely suggest the Northface Vault Backpack. A great everyday backpack that will last. It is about the size of your standard backpack with a seperate smaller front pocket for organization. I love it!

This is a great compact travel backpack. Keeps my electronics secure, and conforms to my body. Best as a minimalist travel pack. Not school bag. Holds up well.

I would like the space of the organizer pocket to be complete and not half since this generates that not many things fit and lose functionality and I would also like them to add a belt at the bottom with those two things, it would be the perfect backpack

I use this bag for almost everything. For school, all I need is an iPad and a notebook. I was a bit concerned about the waterproofing but a 10 minute walk in the rain and everything will be dry. I also use this to go hiking and for longer trips. This can hold a jacket and lunch, as well as 2 32oz water bottles on each side pocket, and still have more room. The bag looks small, but you can fit a lot in it. Also, if you go to a school that uses textbooks that you have to transport often, do not worry. I have multiple, very thick textbooks that fit just fine. The one flaw is the base. This can not stand on its own, no matter how much you try to make it. I would change it so that it could stand up on its own. Overall, this is a waterproof, small backpack with lots of storage. I'll definitely buy it again.

I wanted to love this back pack but unfortunately it was just a little to big for what I needed it for. I was hoping for an everyday backpack like the jester and this was a little to bulky for me. Great trip or travel bag but since I don’t travel that much I opted to return.

This distance between the straps and other features of this backpack were too large for my frame. I am a woman, 5'7" with a narrow and thin build. If it would have fit me better I would have kept for sure!

I bought this backpack to use for school and I had it for 3 years. For all the three years it was perfect and served its purpose well. After exactly 3 years everything suddenly started going downhill. The bottom started to tear and the laptop pocket too. The zipper on the outside pocket broke as well.

This bag looks really nice overall. The only issue is that it is very "thin". The length is great, but it is does not have as much room as my old north face bag since it is much narrower. Other than that it seems like it will be very sturdy and I like the look.

Product is awesome with great value! It is comfortable with cushion and can hold your things properly. If you want something that is affordable and stylish but also with comfort, this is the backpack to buy!

Great bag. Just spent five days in Disney World, comfortable to walk 10 miles with a decent sized load, enough little sections to keep stuff separated. Would have preferred it to be deeper rather than tall, but that's just my preference. Definitely a good purchase!

Its a great backpack for everyday use and also for traveling it has a lot of room in the bottom n it doesn't look like it has lot of things inside, it very confortable, it might be good if it had a few pockets more, but its alright i recommend it.

This backpack is really nice, big enough for school supplies and the colors are so good, same as advertised! Great price too!

This was not the most spacious backpack I tried, but it had many features that won me over: curved shoulder straps with a buckle to hold them together; reflective accents for night time; padded back; easy-access water bottle holder outside. Inside bag was gray, despite the gaudy colors outside. I'm keeping this because it suits my purpose.

The backpack looks nice on me and durable. I love it.

I really like this backpack, it is light and durable. The only flaw that I can find is that it does not have an outer pocket to place a drink or bottle.

I bought this bag for everyday commute only storing an iPad and Laptop but not much of anything else. I will say there isn't a lot of storage space. Other then that great sturdy bag that takes the load off my back each day. Adjustable chest straps are convenient and comfortable. Worth every penny at a great price for a reliable bag.

Purchased for my 8th grader but the bag ended up too small. Doesn’t have much inside storage space for all his books.

While this was the most stylish of all the backpacks we tried, the volume of the bag wasn't sufficient for our needs. The pocket in front is small and doesn't extend to the height of the bag, which I thought was a poor design choice. It would be fine for pens or a phone, but not for any supplies of depth. So we returned.

For carrying school books but it didnot have enough pockets to fulfill my needs.

It's too small. I don't know how people here are saying it's the perfect size for school, because I can't fit my books in there. Besides, I don't understand what the point of making backpacks long instead of wide and spacious is. I can't use this for school.

lack of small front pocket and most annoying is slanted bottom. it can't stand upright on a chair or table due to this, keeps falling over
