Sizing ChartThe North Face Vault Backpack
When your dreams of reaching the show or winning the World Series of Poker don't pan out, it's time to fall back on plan C and this comfortable Vault Daypack from The North Face. The Vault doesn't have a padded laptop sleeve like other packs, but that extra space combines perfectly with the 1,850 cubic-inch capacity to accommodate thick lab binders and extra large projects. There's also a front accessory pocket with an internal organizer for pens, pencils, erasers, note pads, scissors and a calculator or a hand-held video game system. When the weekend rolls around, dump out all the study gear and load up the Vault with your day hike essentials or beach gear.

I am very pleased with the The North Face backpacks I purchase for my two children. Durability is what they need in school and that is The North Face quality!

Pamela A. - 2007-11-04Everything you need
Very tough bag with padding for back comfort and extra storage area for note pad, pens, pecils etc. Much for the money.
C.C. - 2007-09-18Fantastic Value
All that you expect from North Face...great quality, value and style. Very comfy on the shoulders.
Liz Regland - 2007-09-12Great choice for college.
This book bag is sleek, simple, and great for those individuals w/ a sensitive back. The front pocket allows necessary elements such as pens, calculator, ipod, etc. to be easily accessible. It is great for college as well as high school academics. I absolutely love mine & find it easier to navigate campus w/o back pain from the textbooks. ^_^
Linda - 2007-08-28Great fitting pack! fits well in the locker! STEELERS colors!
It's just Great my Great Grandson loves it! Big front pocket to stuff all his books and jacket. He also loves the colors- GO STEELERS!
Kathryn Willingham - 2007-08-18My high schooler loves it
Although the color was not what was shown on the Internet, we thought it was teal, she still loves it.

Ricardo - 2006-10-22BEST BACKPACK
THE BEST BACKPACK FOR YOUR MONEY
Anonymous - 2006-10-17very nice!
as always, northface lives up to expectations. very nice, simple backpack!!
Anonymous - 2006-10-08Perfect for big notebooks!
This backpack works great for lugging around the giant binders required of my middle school daughter. As the name implies the large area is a "vault" and we like it because it's just one big compartment, not two small ones like many backpacks.
Anonymous - 2006-09-17A great investment in a backpack!
I love the backpack! I bought it for my son for the new school year. It is very sturdy and I love the color.
Aileen - 2006-09-09Sturdy,well made, will last and last.
I've bought this backpack for my 5th grader. This will last him through High school...provided he doesn't lose it!
Denise Porterfield - 2006-08-24Unbelievably roomy!!
The picture does not do this bookbag justice. It is large enough for the heavy middle-school age book load. Very nicely constructed.
JD Dunn - 2006-08-19The padded back is genious!
Thank you for making life a little more comfortable for my children! and for being so durable...these packs will be around for more than just 1 year
Sandra Spears - 2006-08-18excellent deal
I ordered two of these backpacks for my sons...not only was it a great price..it was free delivery and no tax..you can`t beat that. Northface products are designed very well and it is a sturdy bag.
Anonymous - 2006-08-07Great backpack
I love my new north face backpack! This backpack is a nice size and looks great, it fits all my school books. Thanks Altrec.
Anonymous - 2006-07-17oh cute
this backpack is so cute and so reliable
i just love it when i was in my first 2 yrs of middle school i had an L.L bean and the zipper always got stuck on the fabric that covered the zipper and the bottom kept busting out then i got this and i never had a problem i love it
krishna patel - 2006-07-05its awesome!
the backpack is really convienant and easy to use...im really glad i got it before college starts..it looks great too!
Lenn - 2006-06-20This backpack is wonderful. I love it .I can carry anything init
I can carry ten hard cover books in it
Wendy - 2006-01-05Lots of room
The Vault back pack is great, lots of room, for a lunch pail and sweaters and the other coverings when we ride our bikes in the winter and are over 55 years young. The straps are comfortable, the color is noticeable . I did alot of research on different packs We don't have good bike lanes and are forced to deal with what they give us. This is style and the Video is great. good thinking. Great backpack, Great price. At that price, I might buy one in each color!!
Anonymous - 2006-01-04Very nice
A nice good quality backpack and a good value too. Bought this one as a gift and the recipient loves it.
Anonymous - 2006-01-02Great Gift
I bought this as a gift for my nephew, a freshman in high school. I didn't want to be the aunt who gave lame gifts - and he loved it! Reasonably priced and well made, I think this was a hit.

it took a while to arrive here at Canada...but I'm satisfied with what i've ordered.
Thanks!
Joel Johnson - 2005-03-13Great basic bag!
Very nice, very basic bag. Perfect for school when you're not needing all the bells and whistles.
Anonymous - 2005-02-26More bang for your buck!
Since the Vault is one of the cheaper north face back packs, I thought for sure it wouldn't be all that great. I was wrong! When I first got it, it didn't look that big, but when started putting my heavy college textbooks in there I realized that it held more than I thought. I am able to carry around a full course load of books and it doesn't hurt my back at all!
wilson - 2005-01-23nice campus backpack
Doubt you could find a better backpack for those "long campus walks"...its been great.
Anonymous - 2005-01-15The Best Backpack I Ever Bought
Simple and perfect for everything. Made to last for a long time.
Anonymous - 2005-01-02It's an excellent product.
It's an excellent product. I feel glad for this purchase and I'd like to thank the personnel of Altrec for their kindness.
Anonymous - 2004-12-06Great value for school
I bought this for my daughter in college to carry a day's worth of heavy textbooks. She loves it and says her back doesn't hurt like her old backpack.
Eric Allen - 2004-10-25pretty roomy
Very good for school but needs to be broken in.
Anonymous - 2004-10-12Great Backback & Service
My daughter really likes this backback. She can carry everything she needs in it. We also loved your quick service. The item was delivered in a few days. We had researched other web catalogs and delivery would have taken much longer.
Anonymous - 2004-09-25Vault Pack
The Vault pack is very spacious and sturdy. I use it for all of my college needs;books,dirty laundry or just hanging out on the weekend with friends. Altrec delivered it an timely fashion and have also kept in touch to see if I like the product.
Anonymous - 2004-08-27good backpack
Works well for school!
Smitty - 2004-07-10Awesome
I've used this backpack for daycamping and 5 day camping. It was perfect for both, a good amount of space without being huge. A really nice backpack for a really nice price.
Anonymous - 2004-02-29Simple, sturdy design. Great quality.
I had an old LL Bean backpack from my elementary school days (no joke!) and I was looking for something that would be comparable in terms of size, quality, and simplicity. The North Face Vault fits the bill quite nicely. It is great for biking around campus, going to work out, or going fishing on weekends; definitely a worthwhile purchase!
Anonymous - 2004-01-04Great product
Wonderful, sturdy product. Perfect for college life.
Anonymous - 2004-01-02great price & selection!!
I was looking for a North Face backpack as a Christmas present and I was so thrilled when I stumbled upon this one at Altrec.com. I was having a hard time finding any backpacks in stock on other websites but Altrec.com had everything in stock that I was interested in. Also, the price was great! I was very pleased with my purchase.
Molly - 2003-11-18Great product!
This bag was very inexpensive and it has been perfect for school and extracurricular use!
Anonymous - 2003-11-04What I expected
The North Face’s Vault is exactly what I expected. It is light yet sturdy for my books.
Anna Postiglione - 2008-09-09Made very well.
Fits most of my sons books for school. He likes the style and confort.
Brittany - 2006-08-07Worth it?
You bet. I've used LL Bean for four years. Comparing it to my Vault bag is simple. My North Face bag is more durable and less conforming than the LL Bean. It's more simple and more... me.
Anonymous - 2006-02-27overall it's good...
there are many compartments to sort things out in the bag and it's very comfortable to carry.
Michelle M. - 2005-09-17Great for high school. Holds about 3 classes worth of books.
Comfortable!
Anonymous - 2005-09-04North face vault
VERY roomy and perfect for my kids to hold all their books.
Charlie Brown - 2005-02-06Good medium-sized backback
This backback fits more than you would think when it comes out of the box.
For school, I can easily fit 3 textbooks and my laptop computer.
The only drawbacks are that it lacks a pouch for a water bottle and a waist belt for use in skiing, etc.
Anonymous - 2004-10-20Very durable with lots of space
Really good back pack but it would be nice to have waterbottle holders
Anonymous - 2004-03-01Very good product.
Roomy, comfortable. Nice shape, well constructed.
Nancy Murphy - 2006-09-22NIce but too small
The backpack is nice however too small for all the books my highschooler has to carry.
jenna - 2006-09-17its just alright
the straps on this backpack are extremely wide and when i carry it, its tough on my shoulders and underarms. also the smaller container part of the backpack where i generally keeps my keys, wallet, phone, etc.. sits extremely high on the backpack so i cant just sling it around to get something out. its a little more difficult. but its not a bad backpack.
