I wasn't sure how big the pack was going to be, but it is absolutly perfect. This isn't a backpack, but a lifepack. There is a pocket for everything, a access to eveything. Great colors. The North Face is a brand I will continue to buy, no matter the cost. After all, you get what you pay for.

Pros:
Good padding, Large capacity
Best Uses:
School bag
Describe Yourself:
Tired of cheap bags
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

My son's school is in the process of replacing the lockers so no one has a place to put their books and supplies. He is carrying everything in that bag and it weighs almost 50#. It really is a workhorse.
