Great Pack for the Money
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Great bag with one flaw
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.

Bad Design
Bought this about a month ago for school. Basic needs: books and a lunch. Seems simple, right? Anyways, I quickly realized the design and layout of this bag are awkward. It doesn't stand upright at all because the bottom is slanted and slightly tapered, which also means it will only hold increasingly smaller books the more you put in. Also because the zipper ends so high up (above the water bottle pocket), it creates a bottle neck so once you have a textbook in already, good luck trying to squeeze larger items past it to utilize the tapered, bottom portion of the bag. Definitely wish I could return this and get something else.

The North Face Vault backpack's base is too unstable
I carry this backpack for travel purpose and personal use. It is comfortable but it does not have a stable base.

As expected, I appreciate this product.
I saw this product from one of my co-workers. I like it already & it looks great & tough for an everyday go-to backpack for work or school or anywhere. Thanks!
Manufacturing Defect-Strap
This backpack is good. It has lots of nifty pockets and zippers and gets the job done when it comes to a school backpack. It had a good run when it was in use. The only issue, mind you, quite a big issue, is the stitching of the straps that attaches them to the body of the backpack. For some reason, after less than a year of use, one of the straps came clean off. It didn't tear (there is no visible damage to the strap or place where it was stitched onto the bag) or go through any distress, but it was as though the strap was not stitched onto the bag correctly, practically slipped off. I've tried to fix it myself but it cannot be done as it is a manufacturing issue a regular person cannot fix. Disappointed as this was my first (and likely last) purchase from TNF that I had to use my first earnings on.

Great
Every thing I expected it to be. My son loved it. Especially the color.
