While The North Face makes a series of daypacks in the 1,850-cubic-inch range, the Sweeper remains our favorite for mixing business and sports pleasures. Besides the oversized stretch mesh pouch for a basketball, the Sweeper also has extra large side water bottle pockets and enough room for your gym clothes and laptop. Past incarnations included a separate clothing compartment, but this updated design takes functionality a step further with a practical universal sleeve for your personal computer or hydration bladder. You'll also find a secondary compartment with an organizer to accommodate your pens, pencils, laser pointers and corporate note pads. Keep in mind that the extra features add a few extra ounces and an inch or two of length compared to other North Face backpacks with similar carrying capacities, but if you're looking for an easy way to take your ball and go home, the Sweeper helps you keep your act together.
Best College Pack
I have this pack for about 2 years now and it it in perfect shape just a little dirty and washes out very easily. The bottom pouch is great for my work out cloths. There is plenty room for all my stuff.
i love this backpack
This backpack fits my 17" dell computer and all my books. The shoulder straps are great, I can carry 3 college science books and more and it's still comfortable. The front storage is great for odd shaped items because you can just clip it in and go.
Great Bag
An all around great bag. I think it will work just fine!

Love it, Love it, Love it
This is a fabulous bag! I love this bag because it fits both my notebook (macbook pro 15) and my wet clothes from swimming. The oversize water bottle pockets are great. The front compartment has lots of smaller pockets. Only thing, the key chain holder in the back compartment could have been moved to the front. Otherwise, a perfect daypack for college and sports!...
super
the graduate we gave it to was thrilled. Lots of useful pockets but not too bulky
WORTH EVERY PENNY
i've had it for 2 weeks and it served its purpose. for school, work and travel... its perfect for my always-on-the-go routine. i dont lose stuff anymore. i am not juggling stuff in my arms because all fits in perfectly, even the smallest gadget i have.
great!
this backpack is awesome! i have swimming this year and the bottom compartment is really handy to keep my suit and towel in. large enough to fit all my notebooks and folders and my fav color!
Great and practical day/week end pack
This is the best and most practical pack I have owned. Great for taking stuff to day bike races or for the weekend. Highly recommend. Not a great fan of having items on my back while riding but the Sweeper is very comfortable, etc.
Just What I Was Looking For
Great Bag For Work.Construction Worker In search Of Realiable Bag For Work To Double As Lunch Bag.Front Pouch Great For Holding Hardhat While Riding my Motorcycle To Work And Many Other Pouches Too Help Keep All My Everday work Stuff Organized. Getting Ready To Purchase another one Just For Gym Stuff. Thank you altrec.
Excellent at everything!
Just spent the week mountain biking in Moab and couldn't have asked for a better or more comfortable bag to go out on day hikes or strap on for a long day of biking. Compartments fit everything that is needed and the bottom zippered pouch is great for separating dirty shoes from everything. CamelBak bladder hook and laptop pouch are awesome. Can't ask for a better bag!!
Very Nice Product
I just returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic. This pack made an excellent carry on bag. It has large roomy storage compartments and lots of pockets. The best part was the extra zippered pouch in the bottom that was excellent for carrying wet beach clothes back to the hotel.
This daypack rocks
I can fit everything I need for an entire day on campus! The lower compartment is amazing--it can fit my workout clothes, running shoes, lab coat, or whatever without making the bag bulky or uncomfortable on my back.
great daypack, love it
Big enough for my 14.1 thinkpad with sleeve. Excellent quality, definitely recommend.
love love love it!
I have been searching for the perfect backpack for years, and this is the closest I've come without designing one myself! I like that the waist strap is removable, because I don't usually need it, and the shoulder straps are padded and very comfortable. I carry my 15" lap top, books, running shoes, plus everything else, and it's still comfortable and not heavy on my back. I also like the way it looks, and the outside netting compartment is great for carrying extra items like a fleece or sweatshirt. The pockets for small items could be better placed for accessibility, but it's really a minor thing. I do love this pack, I'm so glad I bought it!
Excellent product
fits and exceeds my needs
It was a hit!
I bought this daypack for my son as a gift to use on his ski trip to Canada. He said it was "tight"! Guess that sums it....
Very versatile backpack for anyone to use
This backpack is very multi-functional and well-made. I would recommend this to anyone who is a student, or goes to the gym frequently.

awesome
Very comfortable, easy to adjust, versatile, and nothing ever falls out or do zippers come undone. The back is padded, unlike many other backpacks, so it is just great! I use it as my schoolbag and it does everything i need it to.

My North Face Day Sweeper is great, just the right amount of space. My water bottles, even coffee mugs fit on the sides which was important to me when searching for my backpack. Also I love the mesh pocket in the front!

Meant my expectations
I used this day pack for work. Carries my paper and laptop. I prefer the day pack over the messenger bags. Its more comfortable for metro riders.
