Customer Reviews The North Face Surge Transit Backpack

I bought this to replace a North Face backpack that I had used for 9 years. I bought it primarily for grad school but also for travel, which I do a lot of. It took me a couple of trips to figure out how to best fit my stuff into it, but I really like it. I wish there was only one soft felt pocket instead of two; that would make it more useable for me since all of my screens/glasses are already protected in their own cases. It's very comfortable and although I haven't worn it for extensive periods of time, I've taken it on several airplanes without a problem and think I will use it for a long time to come.

This backpack is amazing! I can fit everything that I need for a full day of school plus my 15” MacBook!

I needed a new backpack for travel. I like to travel light and always have my things with me. This bag is roomy enough where I was able to fit 2 pairs of jeans, shoes, a couple of shirts, makeup and toiletries. I was also able to fit my small laptop and charger. I just wish I had the same pocket my husbands backpack has. His has a pocket at the bottom of the backpack specifically for things like toiletries and keeps them from getting all over clothes in case of spills.

Just right!

I haven't had to buy a backpack in several years so I did a lot of research before buying a good quality one. I bought this backpack for nursing school and I regret absolutely nothing about my purchase! So far I love how it fits and holds my many many things I need. 10/10 would buy this again. Worth the money!

Great backpack with a lot of room in all sections. Not only is it big enough to fit everything you might need but also includes enough compartments to keep everything organized. It's bigger than a standard size backpack but it is a great size if you need to carry lots of things. The design is really nice with beautiful color combination.

I love North Face back packs! This one is definitely made to haul lots of stuff. The back area for your computer is roomy and offers good protection. Excited to use this for my summer trips as well as carry my stuff to the office.

I love this bag. It has plenty of room for all the things you need to carry around. I mainly use it for work, to carry my laptop and a few office supplies back and forth.

I got this for my 30yr old daughter and she said she could not have chosen a better one herself (a rare compliment from her since she is picky). She will use it for work, school and travel.

I love this bag. I have to bring numerous books to school and most of them are quite heavy. This bag fits all of them in it and makes it way easier on my back. It also has a really beautiful design.

I LOVE this product! I ordered it as a replacement for my older Surge Backpack that lasted me for 6 years even though I used it everyday for classes and used for traveling because it is more convinient than using a pulling carryon. I love some of the new changes they made such as, the move comfortable straps, the stylish look and the padding supplied for electronics! One thing I do miss is a place to tuck in hip straps if you dont use them.

I use mainly for school. It works out perfectly.

I use this as a commuting bag for work. I walk to work and frequently have to carry a heavy, antiquated, work-issue laptop back and forth so cute totes are not functional. This is comfortable, has a great pocket that fits my huge laptop and still fits my lunch and whatever else I need to carry while offering materials that don't look like I'm going to school ron heading out backpacking for the weekend.

I wasn't sure I wanted to spend this much on a book bag but I love it! It's big enough for me to carry my books around my college grounds and doesn't hurt my shoulders. I also plan on using it when I travel out of the country, it's roomy and will hold a bunch of stuff. The only thing is that it doesn't fall over when I put it down but it's not too big of a deal for me

I highly recommend this backpack. It's got so many compartments and it's super durable. It's extremely comfortable. I lug my purse, computer, workout clothes, gym shoes, lunch, and little knick knacks in this every day. Doesn't hurt my back like most others.

I use this every day to carry things to and from my Master's in Global Business class.

I use this product for work. I used to have a lot of shoulder pain and wanted to switch over to using a backpack. It was very important to me that I found something which Lori used a lot of back support and shoulder support as well as be able to fit everything I need for work and more.

Love this backpack. Very roomy and durable. Made very well.

I am a student who has had to replace my backpack every year and I have been wanting this for while now and am super confident that this backpack will make it through my next couple of years. It is very stylish and durable.

I use this to take to work every day with my lap top and extra items I may need throughout the day. I really enjoy having a backpack over carrying around a purse. The nice design on this item helps me be able to put a smaller purse inside if needed to take out for lunch or meetings. This is my 2 backpack purchased from NF and I had the 1st one for about 7 years, clearly shows they last forever!

This is great for a carry on and daily commute.

I can fit my folders/books, flute, lunch, and a t-shirt comfortably in this bag!! I love all the pockets! At first I didn't like that it was fairly tall, but once I started using it-I needed all that space!

I am a senior in highschool and I struggle fitting everything in my backpack. I had an old north face but I need something bigger and this was perfect definitely buy again.

As a nursing student, I needed comfort and space as my first two priorities in a backpack. I was shocked at how many pockets and room this backpack had when I opened it up for the first time! Not to mention the compliments I've gotten on how many people love my new backpack :)

I purchased this product after speaking with a representative. I wanted a backpack that would, above all else, be protective for my laptop. I have been using this backpack for a few weeks now and I am very happy with it. The back part where the laptop fits in is structured and secures my laptop perfectly. I ride my bike to school and this backpack holds my books, laptop and many snacks efficiently. It also allows for fantastic organization. I am very happy with this backpack.
