LOVE IT!
September 01, 2007
Once again, I knew when i was on a mission for a backpack for school... to find a north face one and that was quality, comfortable and great looking backpack. And I WAS NOT LET DOWN! AMAZING, looking even then packed to the brim... the compression straps still make it look streamline and verstile! Really i am becoming addicted to the products since they are truly AMAZING!!! AG
Great Pack
September 01, 2007
Great for a laptop and very stylish. I always walk around campus with it and it's never strenuous to my back
The North Face: Hot Shot Daypack
April 18, 2007
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
February 02, 2007
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.
Nice travel pack!

It has everything you need and nothing you don't for traveling. Laptop sleeve, organizer, bottle mesh... The right size, not too bulky or not too small, and comfortable to carry.
My first North Face backbag, and I love it.
October 31, 2006
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
very comfort

very comfortable and lots pockets. Great for school and for hiking as well.
I love it!
October 15, 2006
It has lots of room, storage for the little things, it is comfortable, and versatile:)
Yes I recommend this without reservations
October 15, 2006
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.
Excellent bag..
August 24, 2006
Great backpack for school and laptop computer. Thanks Altrec, you guys have best customer service.
Great pack for all your outdoor activities
August 22, 2006
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!
WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!
August 18, 2006
This is a grrrreat backpack... It's comfortable on a rehabbed back! haha... The supports are neat and can be easliy tucked away incase u choose not to use them. Believe it or not but the bag has alot of room! I stuffed two beach towels, a pair of trunks, 2 pairs of sandals and a tee shirt... and I still had room for another outfit...
Love it
August 02, 2006
Very comfortable backpack - I can load my school books + a laptop comfortably into this pack and easily walk around campus with outfeeling like i am going to crushed under the weight. ;)
great backpack
July 13, 2006
I ordered the north face hot shot and i am very happy. i received it in a week and its all what i expected. i was glad i got it in black, because i could not find that specific color anywhere. thanks to Altrec. anyway i recommend this bookbag to any one who is in school like me, where i will be using it, and i am waiting to use it september for my junior year.
Backpack Purchase
June 19, 2006
I was extremely impressed with the promptness of the order receipt as well as the quality of the backpack received. The backpack will work very well for my son's upcoming freshman year of college. Your website is very user friendly.
Great Looks, not enough pockets/compartments
May 01, 2006
This backpack is really attractive -- which is why I picked it out. The two drinkholders are great. But there is one main compartment and one medium sized compartment. That's it. This is probably great for hiking or whatever, but if you're looking to haul a laptop around or to have a small section for pens... this isn't the bag for you. It's also not very large.
Comfortable and stylish
April 23, 2006
I waited a month for this backpack to come in stock and it was totally worth it because its so comfortable and so stylish at the same time. Has so much room and your shoulders will never hurt
Great pack, just what I needed
March 13, 2006
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.
March 11, 2006
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!
Comfortable pack
February 09, 2006
I wanted to find a pack just the right size for the times when I bike to the gym. This pack worked perfectly for my shoes and clothes and it is comfortable enough for riding.
Great backpack....

December 26, 2005

excellent
December 04, 2005
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.
Good Backpack.
November 13, 2005
Its not as spacious as i thought it would be. But it looks really nice and fits nice on my back. Overall I like it and I would recommend it.
Hot shot backpack
October 14, 2005
Nice pack. Not as much room as i thought would be in there. It does carry well on your back though. Doesn't sag. Overall a good buy.
Great!! Thanks, Altrec!

The North Face Hot Shot daypack is roomy, well constructed, and the color is exactly as shown on your site. Ordering was easy, the price was good, and your site is very customer friendly. We're very pleased customers and we'll definitely be back!
Hot Shot Pack
July 12, 2005
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.
Excellent Buy
May 24, 2005
Loaded with many features. Has ample storage of laptop and books. Great Buy!
Best purcahse I ever made.
March 22, 2005
Great back pack for any type of occasion great for students and excellent back support and lot and lots of room.
great bag
March 16, 2005
i'm a university student and this bag is exactly what i needed. what i like most about the Hot Shot is that it doesn't have a lot of laces or a bike helmet mesh that most north face bags seem to have.
Great backpack
March 04, 2005
Great backpack for college and traveling. Strong and stilish. It has 2 compartment for bottles. However, I was expecting to have one more internal divider. You have to put all your stuff together. Still, it's pretty decent.

Functionality.

Hot Shot Daypack - Designed for do-it-all functionality, The North Face Hot Shot daypack combines hiking and trekking elements.
Perfect for what we need.
February 07, 2005
Purchased this bag to take skiing. My husband is diabetic and must have food and insulin supplies with him when he is doing something active. We have not used it yet, but the pack has a large capacity with several small pockets within the front pocket. Perfect for what we need. I think it is going to be great.
Good flexable pack
February 03, 2005
The hot-shot has a good design and is well built but is a little short on room for me. Some climbing gear, a change of clothes, and a little something to eat and it is at its limit. I would really pefer the big-shot with a waste belt I could hide, but until then the hot-shot is a very well rounded alternative.
A great pack!
February 01, 2005
A great pack! I now call it my 'friend' as it is always helps me when i need something. Internal pouches and zip pockets and enough room to quickly chuck something in and go.
Great for my laptop
February 01, 2005
Using this to carry my 15.4" WS laptop inside a padded case and this all fit inside main compartment easily. Use the accessory pocket to carry wireless mouse and power adapter plus cellphone too. Still enough room in main to carry more stuffs like clipboard folder and magazines. Supportive enough to not cause back strain/pain. Shoulder straps are kinda stiff - need to be softer or cushioning. Can't wait to walk in the rain with it to test it water resistance. Main point is that it carry my laptop without looking bulky.
Best backpack i have used so far
February 01, 2005
I am in college and was looking a backpack which can hold all my stuff including my laptop and it's great!!!
