Awesome Backpack - way more hip than my briefcase
Business Exec's - Lose the old school briefcase I have a different backpack for specific outdoor activities and I have always used a breifcase for work. Why? As a business executive I travel to multiple locations throughout the day and I am delighted with my Northface Hot Shot in black. Plenty of room to hold all items but not cavernous to where I am searching up to my elbows for an item. Great organizing area in front - perfect bag.

I love it!
I had to make sure that my 17" laptop could fit in the backback I bought, and it fits like a charm. I use it for college and I still haven't been able to fill up every nook and cranny it offers.

A great backpack
My experience with my new Hot Shot is great. The bag is very comfortable and it protects my back, even if I have a lot of books to carry. It has a lot of room for books and other materials and the laptop has its own compartment. So, I don't need a separate laptop cover anymore. I also really like the space for bottles on the outside of the backpack. Finally, it looks slim and fashionable, even if jam-packed. I would definitely recommend it!

This bag does not fit a 16" laptop and definitely will not fit a 17". I am so disappointed in the quality and size of this bag.

Beyond my expectations
I'm a minimalist who, unfortunately, ends up with a lot of junk I have to carry around, and am constantly on the lookout for a backpack which will hold a lot of stuff and still look and feel small, and this one does it. I liked the look of the big shot (also by North Face), but upon seeing it in person found it to be too big, bulky, and mannish (I'm a 5'2 girl). I decided instead on the hot shot. And this bag is amazing. My first impression was that it feels STURDY, and water-resistant (as summer is just starting, I won't be able to test that out just yet). I have a 13" macbook, and I was worried that it would have too much jostle space in this back pack which holds "up to 17" laptops", but it fits in snug as a bug, no movement at all, especially when cinched in with the provided snap, and rests several inches off the ground when the backpack is sitting; nothing is gonna touch my computer, I can tell. The front compartment is organized so that some stuff can sit at the bottom and the rest in pockets half-way up, so there's a better distribution and the backpack stays thinner. There are also two (count 'em, TWO) cinches on the sides for making the bag slim, which I love. The daisy chains on the front are really sturdy. Completely loaded up I can lift the bag by one of these small bits of fabric and there's no budge of stitching what-so-ever. These were one of my main draws to the big shot, but I thought they looked ugly all the way up. Three is plenty for me (All I can ever think of holding at once would be a water bottle and maybe a pair of water shoes) and looks much nicer. One thing I like as some-what of a back pack connoisseur is the way the left cup-holder is designed. It's got the mesh like the other side but then there is a separate, smaller compartment inside that that is grey like the rest of the backpack. This ends up feeling pleasantly snug and secure when a small bottle is placed in it. You could also probably put a small item in it like a phone or ipod and because of the fabric inside, it would not be visible through the mesh, but would be very readily accessible. I don't know, I just enjoy it. : ) On the other hand, the two bottom cinches go right over the cup-holders so if you (like me) like keeping your bag cinched tight, this makes them either inaccessible, or hard to get a bottle in and out of. I remedied this by getting a water bottle that can attach elsewhere via D-ring, and that works for me, (and looks pretty cool too). My only qualm is this cup-holder issue. It's completely not enough to lower the bags rating (like I said, it was easily remedied), but It seems like they could have run the cinches behind the cup-holders with a little ingenuity. Also the bag is very long. I'm 5'2, and I wouldn't say that it's length is bad, necessarily, but just different. I've only had it a little while, but every time I put it on I can't help but notice how long it is - several inches longer than any bag I've had before. But, like I said, this helps keep the front pocket organized, and keep the laptop several inches from the outside world on all sides, and I appreciate that. All-in-all, beyond my expectations (and they were quite high). This is a great bag, and comes with the North Face lifetime repair warranty, which you just can't beat.

A Freakin Dream
This backpack is the best backpack ive ever had, when you put both straps on you feel like youre being held and it has a pocket for everything, in the main compartment i have an sub compartment for books and a different area for notebooks and the other zipper pocket has so many spaces that it keeps me organized, the only con is its shallow cup holder things

Great for Campus
I can't praise this bag enough! My t61 with extended 6 cell battery fits securly in the laptop pouch, and there is more than enough room for books, power supply, etc. The straps are fully adjustable and comfortable. The back support feels great also. Would recommend this bag to everyone!

this backpack can not be compared to any else because there's nothing else good enough. the intricate designs and sophisticated arrangement along with the ability to compact whatever is placed in it, makes this back pack the best. the design is just amazing. comfortable to carry, essential and necessary compartments. must have.

The North Face: Hot Shot Daypack
Excellent Backpack - The backpack is very stylish and well made. The backpack is easy on the back and shoulders even when carrying a heavy load because of the thick padding used all around. The laptop compartment is a bonus too, saving laptop users from have to carrying an additional bag as well as giving them peace of mind that their laptop is secure.

Great Campus Pack
I enjoy carrying this thing around campus. It is stylish yet functional. Some days I have to pack everything in other days I have a lighter load. The compression straps on the sides allow for great variation in how the pack holds my books, laptop, and other odds and ends. I can cinch everything down and keep it close to my back make the load feel better (a great help when trekking across campus all day). I bought a Nalgene Water Bladder also which fits in the universal sleeve and has a spot for the hose to run through the top (very nice for long bike rides or hiking). Like BJ said this pack is just the right size. It is nice having two bottle holders (mesh) as well as the daisy chain where things can easily be hung. I love this bag and am so glad I purchased it. Oh and one more note - my laptop is 15.4" (standard sized laptop) and it fits snug (as in perfectly) I mention this because I didn't see any specific dimensions on this and felt like I was taking a chance of my laptop not fitting, however it fits very well.

My first North Face backbag, and I love it.
I wanted to purchase a backbag for roaming around the city of San Francisco and decided on North Face after much research. O' boy, I have never wear a backpack that is this comfortable before. Even with my big laptop, the bag was so comfortable that I would not mind walking miles in them. Plus, the optional hydration pack compartment will come in handy next time I go mountain biking. Altrec is the only place out there that is selling it for $54. Yeah, it's from previous season, but the newly added padded compartment that is featured in the new version does not help me what-so-ever. So I'm going to take the $20 saving here instead. I am a happy camper

Yes I recommend this without reservations
I use my Hot Shot Daypack exclusively for hauling books back and fourth to classes Although in my dreams I fantasize using it to hike across less paved and more scenic grounds. This backpack is very sturdy since it is always full of heavy text books. It rests well over my shoulder the padding is excellent. The material is very durable and stands up to whatever abuse I have so far inflicted upon it. In fact my Hot Shot looks like I bought it just yesterday. I give it the highest possible ratings and would recommend it to both students and those fortunate and sensible enough to once in a while take a hike and smell the flowers.

Great pack for all your outdoor activities
The Hot Shot is not a backpack for those who like to carry a ton of stuff with them. There is ample room, but I have definitely used bigger ones. The part that I liked best was the fact that it has straps that cinch down to allow for a streamline look and feel. Also, the backsaver is a must for those long hauls!

Great pack, just what I needed
Two pockets only!!! awesome. Other backpacks I've used have too many pockets. This one has two zipper pockets only. One for big stuff and another for small stuff. Its got the holder for your camel back reservoir too. Just a great overall backpack.

Bought for day hikes. Well-made, comfortable & lightweight.
I've had the pack for a couple of weeks and have used it twice. Overall I'm very satisfied. Most impressive to me is that the pack is very comfortable & fits well. Has less room inside than I expected, but enough to pack the essentials for a short or long day hike. Great service & good delivery by Altrec...plus, they matched another website's slightly lower price!

excellent
Purchased the bag for college and for day hiking. You can pack an amazing amount of stuff in this bag without over loading it or you. The side pockets are great to hold water bottle and travel coffee cup. No problems at all.

Hot Shot Pack
This is a great bag. I like the reinforced bottle holders on each side and the tuck away hipbelts. The BackSaver feature really does work, what a difference it makes! It's like no other backpack I've ever worn.
