The North Face  Router Pack

After one year of regular use for school, the backpack is ruined. And their warranty is a joke. Never buying NF backpacks again.

I only purchased this one because the smaller North Face backpack was out of stock. The smaller one lasted me for several years and was only recently damaged beyond what a manufacturer could expect. This one has the same premium quality that I experienced before with North Face products. I'm slightly larger than the average person (6'4, 250 plus) and this backpack fits me comfortably. It holds a lot, and has is really comfortable to wear and easy to pack. I highly recommend it!

Durable and roomy with several pockets. Loving it! Can pack what I need for a 3 day getaway.

This pack is great. I needed something to replace a messenger bag that was packed way too full. For reference I walk about a half mile from my car to the 4th floor of a hospital everyday, and then several more miles around a hospital for meetings. I carry a laptop, two phones, chargers, a 42oz Yeti tumbler full of ice water and an Owala mug full of hot tea, a mini umbrella, a small lunch box, a small fanny pack size pack full of necessities, planner and note books and extra scrubs. This pack fits it all. It’s comfortable to carry and does the job well.

This is a FANTASTIC pack! It has all the right pockets and organization sections for business travel. The only downside is that the shoulder straps are very thin. If you have any amount of weight (laptop plus all the other travel necessities), it is not comfortable on the shoulders. If the straps were thicker/more cushioned, this would hands down be the best pack. Unfortunately this one piece was the deal breaker for me.

I’ve had the router a couple years ago. It’s a phenomenal backpack and I’ve been waiting for the right time to purchase this and as usual REI, which is a phenomenal awesome company has gave me that opportunity. This backpack is exactly what I needed is 40 L. it’s adorable. It’s North face simply put we all know about the pockets and what I can do. It has a phenomenal warranty which I’ve always stayed With North face for that reason and now partnering up with REI I couldn’t ask for a great opportunity. Happy hunt.

I know this is travel backpack. But I purchased this for everyday use laptop backpack. After months of research and other backpack purchases for the same use it just didn’t have the storage space or pockets I needed. So I broke down and purchased this and it’s everything I need and space for all my computer, headphones, and everyday items. It’s worth the money and it is excellent quality. Also fits well under airplane seats. Which is something I have to have for my travels at work.

Thanks REI for delivering this so fast! Last one of these lasted my son for three years of heavy daily use! So had to get him another.

Northface router one one of the best 40 L Backpacks I’ve ever owned. Like the borealis, the recon and a surge very user-friendly. I love the pocket holders and the bottom and the adjustable straps if you’re looking for a one and done backpack for an overnight or traveling without paying for luggage this might be your ideal. Just get a couple packing cubes and you’ll be on your way. Highly recommend

Just what I need a well thought out and designed bag. Has a really great layout and padded compartment for computer and other accessories. They layout just make sense. And the padding and back are extremely comfortable. This is a great large travel backpack.
