Not Big Enough

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unfortunately I will have to return it for a few reasons. 1. Too small for my MacBook 16". I had to really force it into the pocket. I would recommend this for more of an ipad or travel sized notebook user 2. I'm used to throwing my phone, keys, sunglasses into a water bottle pocket, and water bottle on the other side. These water bottle pockets are not elastic and are very deep. So they will fit (and cover) your average plastic water bottle but don't expect a thicker stainless or a tervis-sized bottle to fit. 3. The quality is very thin. I'm sure it's fine but coming from a Jester, it just seems less durable. I'm going back to the Jester.

Comfortable Spacious Backpack
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's hard to tell from the photos online but this bag has some great features: Front zippered pocket The second zippered section has a slip pocket and a zippered compartment The main section is spacious with a padded laptop sleeve Then at the very top a small fleece lined pocket for sunglasses or a phone Back padding is soft and comfortable Coral zippers The bottom of the bag has a nice bottom that you can easily wipe clean I think what I love most is how this bag is fitted specifically for a female's frame. It's so much more comfortable than any other backpack I've ever owned. This one is definitely a keeper!

Perfect commuter backpack!
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simply love this backpack! Perfectly compact, great commuter backpack. My last backpack was way too big, always felt like I was carrying Antarctica on my back!! The shape of this bag distributes weight evenly, makes my 2 mile walking commute a breeze. Wish the front storage compartments were slightly easier to organize, but other than that, have loved this backpack!

Buy it for looks, I did.

I really like the asymmetrical look of this backpack but that also makes it difficult to use. The water bottle holder best fits a slim16 oz bottle. However, with a bottle in the holder it's difficult to open the zippers on that side. This backpack is best for someone who doesn't have much to carry. There are places to attach a carabiner if you want to attach things that way.

Definitely do not recommend this product. The exterior water bottle holder on the side does not have elastic. As a result, it’s very difficult to get bottles in and out. Having a water bottle will also eat into the space of the main compartment and give the backpack a weird shape. There are four pockets total, including the main compartment. However, *only* the main compartment goes all the way round the bottom of the bag. This makes the balance of the bag such that you have to place the backpack just so on the floor to prevent it from falling over. The description also claimed to be water resistant. The fabric generally is, but the ZIPPERS have no protection from water so everything in your bag will still get wet.

Would buy this backpack in every color.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It has become my school backpack to carry my MacBook, iPad, and whatever else I will need. It's been a perfect addition.

Would definitely buy again...but hoping for 2 improvement!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second Isabella after I decided to get an upgraded version. First of all, let me review the old one. Awesome backpack with its size and necessary pockets. The top small pocket for keys and headphone is definitely the best feature. The only complain is the water bottle pocket. It is too wide and shallow so my bottle often fell out in its own. Because of it, I have decided to go with the upgrade version which has a much deeper pocket. BUT the other pocket on the other side again is wide and shallow. Things can fell out easily! What is it for? What is the designer thinking? Another thing that bothers me is the zipper for the "middle" pocket. There is only one zipper head that goes all the way to one side which is not very convenient.

Perfect size for travel.
10 months ago
I'm fairly petite and often find backpacks are too big for me...this pack fits great (I ordered a couple different packs and this is the one I kept). I specifically bought it for a trip to Europe to use on the plane and when out and about. It fit everything I needed and I appreciated the multiple pockets for organizing. Only one of the side pockets will hold a water bottle since one is too short (24oz owala fit perfect, 32oz hydro flask was a tighter fit). I liked how the zippers for the largest two compartments could hide behind the water bottle to be less conspicuous while traveling and I was also able to use a small cable lock on them. My 15" hp laptop doesn't fit in the laptop pocket inside the pack, but does fit loose in the main compartment.

Not for me.
2 years ago
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the overall look. But the strap at the top felt flimsy for me. The fit was perfect and very comfortable. But the water bottle was not full sized on one side and the stitching also seemed not as good as other north face backpacks I have owned. I ended up going with borealis, which was more thick than I wanted. But the preferred heavier duty workmanship and construction that I expected from North Face. Happy with the borealis bag and ability to carry two full waterbottles on the sides.

removal of key zipper features - new version annoying to use
9 months ago
i bought this to replace an older version. some improvements (zipper on front small outside pouch, beautifyl dark blue green color), but 2 changes that significantly degrade the daily experience: 1) took zipper away from outside side pocket, which was great for grabbing keys without taking the whole backpack off, just one strap, and 2) removing the 2-way zipper on the smaller of two larger compartments. these cutting of corners alone almost made me return the bag. i LOVED my old version - now i'm annoyed with it constantly. still giving it 3 stars because it's one of the better small backpacks out there, but hope north face fixes these problems/downgrades in the next version. also please bring back a solid black/grey version that doesn't highlight the sporty logo so we can use this in more professional settings.
Yes , I recommend this product
