I have owned this version of the North Face backpack for several years. I found it to be a great product for use in both a college setting and also on some pretty rigorous trips (Egypt, Palestine, Haiti, etc).Pros: SizeYou can fit lots of stuff in here.
Inner slip pocketthis works well for smaller laptops or a Camelbak. There is also a hole for the camel bak hose built in as well.
Outer pocketvery well designed with a larger outer pocket with lots of space for various items of different sizes.
Small outer pocket for smaller items.
Bottom compartmentthere is a bottom compartment with is accessible via its own zipper and separated from the main compartment by a fabric "shelf" which can be unhooked. This is great for all kinds of uses and allows you to get into the pack without going through everything in the main compartment.
Side mesh pockets and tie down straps great for everything from water bottles to camera tripods, to umbrellas. Plus, the tie-down straps tighten around them, holding items in place.
Verticool systemthe hard frame and mesh skeleton allow for some breathing and with the waist and chest straps make this a very useable and comfortable pack for serious day hiking.
Cons: Size This can be a very big pack if you fill it.
Laptopsthere is no padded laptop section. The inner sleeve was too small for my 15" Macbook. However, this can be remedied by just buying a soft sleeve for your laptop. I have carried my laptop all over Europe and elsewhere and never had it suffer.
If you are looking for a daypack that can serve you equally well in an academic or a field situation, this is great.
