Review: IMHO the best EDC pack for those carrying electronic gear. - After a very lengthy search for a backpack that would meet my needs for carrying a laptop and various other everyday needs, that was capable of having greater organization capabilities than just a couple of pockets, the TNF Surge came out on top. After using this pack now for over a week, I am very impressed in its comfort and fit.The pack felt a lot flatter when I first recieved it, but is definitely breaking in and becoming more comfortable to wear, not that it was not comfortable at first. It has more than adequate organization sleeves, all sleeves that are designed for electronics are fleece lined and given extra padding, this includes sleeves for a laptop, cell phone (iphone 6s plus sized), tablet (ipad full size with otter box case), and a smaller pocket that would fit a flip type recharger. The sleeves in the admin pouch area are pretty tight once everything is in place, though if you don't have the otter box tablet case alot more room is afforded in the pockets. I recently used this on a hunting trip, into northern Minnesota, to carry my street clothing and toiletries and had no issues with being able to fit everything I would need for 4 days out. There was plenty of room for more gear had I needed to bring more. The packs cinch straps are angled, which makes compressing your load ideal as it draws the front of the bag up and back. Access into the admin pouch and the two front pockets is not an issue when fully loaded and cinched up, and the front load carrying handle really is a smart improvement on this pack, it makes moving it around extremely natural feeling. As for the two front zippered pockets, one is fleece lined and could be used to house other screened electronics, but I find it ideal for storing a hand gun, the pocket itself sits behind the non lined pocket so the only profile that could be exposed are the contents of that pouch, though when fully loaded the pack doesn't reveal itself as having contents. The side pockets for carrying water bottles are deep and not see through, a quart Nalgene bottle fits perfectly without fear of falling or sliding out, I have been carrying that and an 18 oz hydro flask while riding a motorcycle on the daily commute and have not had either slide up. In all, The North Face comes through again with a solid product that was well thought out. If you have been deliberating between this and some other pack, I would definitely say go with this one, you won't be disappointed.
Review: Superb Pack - I was looking for a new backpack that could hold a 13-inch iPad tablet and a Lenovo Yoga 16-inch Laptop (2-in-1) for university studies and work. Additionally, it has ample space to hold two calculators, a collection of writing tools, two textbooks, and a 32-oz Nalgene bottle. I’ve had ease in packing away all chargers, cables, and flash drives as well. And there’s PLENTY of room to keep up with additional material for the remainder of the semester. 10/10; Recommend for other STEM students or those needing to comfortably and efficiently pack ~20lbs of gear.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great everyday commuter bag.
*by M***P on July 4, 2026*

Good and reliable daily commute bag. I like the fact my laptop does not bottom out in the protective sleeve inside the bag. Tablet pocket is nice. I wish the waist strap was removable.
