I love this backpack!! I was not sure that my laptop would fit, it is a 17.3'', but it fits well in the padded pocket. There is also a lot of extra space for anything else that I want to carry. Although I got this Bag for my laptop, after receiving it I now plan to use it for hiking and backcountry skiing as well. And the fast shipping was a great bonus!

I like this bag very much, it is worthy of recommendation
Marisa Serrat - 2009-12-14Great Backpack- Huge Size
After doing lots of research, I decided on this backpack because I needed one big enough to carry my law school books and laptops to school every day. It has plenty of room and still looks sleek. It is very comfortable to wear, even packed up with about 50 pounds. Very Happy and would recommend to anyone.

Louie - 2009-12-02Great pack.
Have really enjoyed this pack!! It's the perfect size for my laptop and all my gear.

Backpack is great, got it for a good price off Altrec. Very spacious, fits my 17" laptop and includes many pockets which are very convenient. GREAT BUY!!!
Rose - 2009-10-02Excellent
It is the perfect bag... especially for a laptop. I can put all my heavy books in it and use it for other things.

The bag holds everything I need for work.
Nilutpol Basumatari - 2009-07-30Must Buy
This bag was just the way I had expected it to be; it looks great (esp. the Toulomne Brown color), and it's extremely convenient. It has a large pocket for a laptop and it can easily fit in my 17" Laptop. It's got enough pockets everywhere for me to keep my things separately. It's a must-buy. I'd definitely recommend it to others.

I recently just purchased the Big Shot Northface pack and I am thoroughly satisfied. I have more that enough room to store all of my items plus my laptop as the pack is very sturdy and durable. It looks nice too. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good pack.
Joe Chan - 2009-03-03carry all
i can stuff all my work clothes and my files in separate compartment.Good piece of equipment
Anonymous - 2009-01-22Great Backpack
This backpack is perfect for commuting. It has a large pocket that fits my laptop. The compartments are large enough for my books. I am a bigger guy and this backpack fits perfectly.
Yan - 2009-01-15nice features
Very nice features which makes the backpack very functional and some improvement from 2007 model. However, the zipper downgrades from a waterproof zipper to a water resistant one.
It is good for carrying heavy load; for medium load the newly design back support may not be as comfortable as other backpacks. It is ideal for school use, esp. for day hike in warm to hot weather.
Mateo - 2009-01-14So worth it..
This is a deceptively large backpack. It doesn't have useless compartments and it completely hugs your back.
Joseph Susco - 2009-01-14Perfect
This thing is big, strong, and comfortable. I'm a full time nursing student and have to carry a ton of books and medical supplies most of the time. The internal backing material and padded straps are greatly appreciated. I also like the variety of pockets that seem to have been put in just the right place. Macbook fits in the back pocket nice and snugly.
Dean - 2009-01-12A sleek backpack perfect for business or casual use.
A nice sleek pack that covers all the basics for around town use or as a flight carry on. The NF has the right amount of pockets and zippered pouches with the added convenience of a padded computer section. I really like the black color which makes it flexible for either business or casual use.
Nathan - 2008-08-03Sweeeeeet
This is the best backpack I have ever owned. The cost is definitely worth the quality - this will last at least 10 years if not longer. Not too mention I look extra studly around campus with this on my back. Perfect for my laptop. I highly recommend the green color.
fredrick scollon - 2008-08-03Just what I was looking for
love my backpack. It holds alot of my stuffs and has alot of pockets. Great for my camping stuffs.Used it the first day I got it.
garrett - 2008-06-27solid pack, killer price...
Good pack for a great price. I had the luxury of picking this guy up for 66.95 at the Naval Academy MidStore. Solid pack with lots of features...holds my Dell D830 nicely and doubles as a great hiking pack!
Couldn't ask for more.
Alan Taylor - 2008-06-17On campus or afield - a great dual-purpose bag.
Out of 10, I would give this a 9. I've had the bag for a couple of months now - and it's held it's own very well in both environments. I have carried around my laptop, tools (wrenches, pump, repair kit) for my mountain bike, books for class, and folders. I have a cell phone pouch clipped to the front, it performs marvelously. The hip and sternum straps are highly useful when on your bike, keeping the load from shifting around too much. I regularly fit 3 gallons of milk inside (with a few books at the same time), when I make a grocery run on the way back from work or school (on my motorcycle or mountain bike). The overlapping pockets in the back are useful for holding my laptop cords and bike tools. I don't use the inside pockets / pouches much - they aren't very accessible when you are running with a full load. The side pouches comfortably hold my Nalgenes, even with the insulating covers on the bottles. Since the hip straps aren't padded, it's probably not a good idea to hike it with heavy loads for more than a day. In the field I guess I would wish for a little more air circulation in the back area (but I don't know of any back packs that are dual-purpose that are much better). I sweat like crazy when it's warm/hot, and this pack really holds in the heat for me. The daisy-chain straps on the back are sturdy enough. There is also a hole in the top near the carrying strap for a hydration pouch - which I haven't used yet (I have nalgenes, and a 100 oz. Camelbak pack when I need lots of water.) The hydration pack would fit in the lap-top sleeve in a pinch. You could easily fit the makings for a picnic in here, pack up for a day trip (maybe even a short over-nighter. Fits my bike helmet inside when I'm running light around Campus, and I clip it securely to the outside when I'm running a heavier load. I recommend the pack to the average college student who would take it outdoors on the weekend. I would also recommend water-proofing it with Camp-Dry, and spray the zippers with it too to prevent wear-and tear from dust / road-grime.
I bought this as a bag to carry my laptop and accessories safely, as well as perform in the outdoors, and it does both tremendously.
Katy - 2008-02-29Great Backpack!
I too got this bag for school and it's awesome! I love that it has a separate padded area for my laptop and still has alot of room. The two netted areas are useful for my umbrella and drink and its really durable. It stays clean easily and it's comfortable too. I also like the little cell phone holder on the arm strap for easy access.
Dave Tinker - 2007-11-06Just what I was looking for
The Big Shot has plenty of room to hold my stuff for just about any occasion. It's built very well and is very comfortable. I use it everyday.
Jackie M - 2007-10-12Strong, sleek & roomy
My high school bound son and I purposely chose this pack for its size and the high-quality NorthFace name. Still we were pleasantly surprised at how much it holds and how bulky it is not. The water resistant closure has already been tested with great success.
Anonymous - 2007-10-10Roomy and comfortable
This pack has tons of room and enough compartments to keep it all separate. I use it for lugging computer science textbooks around campus, and packing gear around in the Red River Gorge. It's rugged and provides the utility I need on mountain, and in the classroom.
Joey Kim - 2007-09-25Its awesome!!!
I bought this bag so that I could use it for school, and it is simply outstanding. It fits all my books and school suppplies with extra room to spare. I'm probably gonna get another North Face backpack, I'm still pondering on that. Anyways, you should get this backpack!!!
Anonymous - 2007-09-18great everyday pack -
I use this during the week for carrying my laptop to work. There is plenty of room left for other things and lots of pockets for keeping everything organized.
Anonymous - 2006-11-20Great pack... plenty of storage, great for school or the trails
love it, love it, love it... great back support and plenty of storage compartments for school or even when going hiking this is a great overall backpack!
Ryan Lyke - 2006-11-20I recomend this pack for those at school and those in the MTS
Great Pack overall. Really the only thing that I didnt like were the interior pockets designed to hold CD's, cell phone, pens, etc. Those pockets tend to snag bigger objects every once in a while. By no means is it intorable.
Seriousily a good pack
Anonymous - 2010-01-21North Face Box Shot
I recently received the box shot to use for work and truly like it! I can fit my laptop as well as all my weather gear! Still leaving room for additional items if needed!
Anonymous - 2009-11-17Nice
Great backpack for a decent price on Altrec! Rides well, plenty of space, enough compression straps to keep everything tight. Sometimes the bag won't sit up strait if you set it down - It'll just slide down onto its front or back. That's kind of annoying. Over all, I'm very pleased with the Big Shot backpack.
beep - 2009-10-22Better than expected
First time fro Altrec, so worried a little bit. Quick delivery, safe package, and right item. What else would expect more?
Anonymous - 2007-12-03good multi-purpose pack-
I use this pack during the week to tote my books and laptop to class and then I can toss enough clothes in it for the weekend and strap compression sack for my sleeping bag to the bottom-
The the two gray water proof zippers are to different compartments one is very shallow and the other has some reasonable depth-
In the main pocket their is the laptop sleeve which has a strap to hold it in place and not sliding up- on the outside flap is a bunch of smaller pockets that don't really do much since anything in them falls out when its laid down I use one of them to put my ti84 in horizontally-
The side compartments for water containers could be a bit bigger, if I set my backpack down sideways my nalgene likes to slide up and out unless the bungee is pulled really tight- I use a small carabiner to hold it in place anyways-
Overall its a great backpack its served me well so far, no problems with zippers and the padding for the laptop and my shoulders seems ample enough, plenty of cinch straps to compress the backpack or make it fit your shoulders- Beltstrap tucks away nicely
jbalderosa - 2007-11-19good size daypack
good size.nice design. I like the color.Highly recomended...
Anonymous - 2007-09-29Lot's of Room - Great for Anything
This pack is one of several North Face Packs that I own. As always, North Face lives up to its reputaion with this amazing bag. I love everything about it with one exception- the ample storage space provided by the interior pockets is quite useless because they all lack zippers. So, everytime you lay the pack flat, everything falls out of the inner pockets into the main compartment. Aside from that minor oversight, I love it!
John - 2007-08-27Good Overall Carrier
Would have preferred horizontal pockets on the back and some zip pockets inside. But this is a roomy comfortable unit.
Anonymous - 2006-11-30Sleek and Versatile
The North Face Daypack is everything that you would want in a backpack. The pouches and dividers inside keep all your items organized and separate although the lack of padding doesn't guarantee absolute protection. The rubber around the zipper prevents rain from penetrating the bag and ruining your items. This bag can carry alot to a little while remaining sleek and compact.
Tucker - 2006-11-24Form+Function+Price= Winning Day Pack
The sturdiness is comforting. Lots of rubber in all the right places and the pack spaces are well organized and easy to access. The harness is snug and keeps the pack close to my body, which I like.
Overall it looks very sharp; nice clean outer design with the logo on the top-side of the shoulder straps. There's a mobile phone pouch on the shoulder straps as well.
For form, I take one star away for the fact that the internal organization dividers are flimsy and unpadded. Were they more stiff, I'd feel better keeping personal electronic devices there, rather than in their individual protective cases in the main compartment.
For style, full marks. Whether humping through the city, on the subway, on a bike, on the bus, in a store, on the street, in a class, meeting friends, the Big Shot looks cool.
Anonymous - 2009-11-09Good for quick campus-based toting
Well-designed pack, but kind of bulky and on the heavy side. Good for a quick campus tote for books and computer, but not my favorite for carrying items a long distance. Also, the daisy chain decoration is kind of silly looking and has no function.
