ROUTER TRANSIT BACKPACK

Comments about TheNorthFace ROUTER TRANSIT BACKPACK:

This is my 3rd Northface bag, My first bag was the Surge, which I found to be just a bit to small for what I needed so I upgraded to the Router. I bought my first Router backpack in 2013 and have used it for work, travel, photography, It holds a lot. The one thing I complained about on my older bought bag is that it didn't have a water bottle pocket on the right side and a TSA approved computer pocket. They have added in the newer version which makes this backpack the best I have had so far. The Organization pocket is much cleaner and has room to store you iPad so its not with the lap top. I usually cary for work my MacBook Pro 15", Canon 215p scanner, Addition Keyboard, trackpad and computer stand, 2"binder, iPad, and still have room to add a Tenba BYOB bag with a Canon camera and 3 lenses. It' gets a bit heavy when you pack it full. But it does hold a lot.

I absolutely loved my old Router backpack, but after 5 years of travel and abuse, it finally wore out. When it was time to upgrade, going back to the Router was a no-brainer, so when it was time, I went with the Transit version for more space.

The ONLY reason I'd dock this score would be the removal of the daisy chain feature on the exterior of the pack. On the old version of this bag I would use the daisy chain to mount, or to carabiner various gear when not commuting.

As for the upgrades I'm enjoying:
- The exterior pockets with this new version are much larger, so that was a nice trade-off.
- How the R-Transit pack distributes weight. The newer Router Transit distributes weight more vertical than the old pack, which let items kind of hang and pull. The difference and comfort with this new version is incredible and makes the entire purchase, for me, worthwhile.
- The laptop sleeve. Fits my 17in MacPro perfectly, the fold open is nice for travel, as the old pack only had a 60% unzip and I was always forced to remove the laptop.
- The first main bay, something about the way it folds open, hard to describe, but it feels natural and makes it much easier to access that bay than in the previous version, huge upgrade.

I look forward to traveling with and abusing this pack for years to come.

I gave my boyfriend this backpack as a gift and earned major brownie points. The amount of storage and pockets can't be beat, he's used it every day for travel and commute since opening it.

This product is amazing. There is so much room for everything I need. I consistently fill the backpack with my laptop and charger, three books minimum, and random accessories, and there is plenty of room for more! The whistle on the chest strap is an added entertainment benefit.

I bought this pack for my son 4 years ago when he was entering High School hoping it would last until his sophomore year. Well, he's now about to graduate and head off to college this summer and despite cramming all his books, 17" laptop, etc into this pack everyday for the last 4 years it's still in great shape. No tears, broken zippers, nothing. He even takes it on his scouting overnights! It's indestructible. It would probably last another few years in college but he definitely has earned a new Router Backpack!!

I have always appreciate TNF product lines. The Transit Router is no exception. It has plenty of room for toting essentials to the office or traveling. It.s very spacious, more so than the Surge. I appreciate the added depth to the front pockets. Durability and quality are the best. And as far as I can tell, it's pretty comfortable. I'm not disappointed at all with this purchase. Great job, NF!!

Unfortunately rain got in through the zippers and caused some of my schoolwork to get wet. Fortunately my laptop was in another case. This backpack would be better if it had waterproof lining covering the zippers. Also my back always hurts wearing this backpack because it doesn't curve into my spine and I constantly have to "hunch" over to make it comfortable. The waist straps are practically useless if they dont have some sort of padding and you're carrying 20 lbs+ worth of stuff on your back.
