Comments about TheNorthFace KABAN:
I was looking for a daypack and also versatile enough for a short trip. I had originally looked at Patagonia for their rugged duffel bags and backpacks made from the same rugged material, but found that there weren't enough pockets for holding/compartmentalizing all my things. The Kaban definitely had the pockets I needed to separate cables, chargers, keys, and other items all while staying relatively slim and easy to access. I do wish that the main compartment was a little bigger, but maybe I should've gone for the Kabig in that case. The white exterior seems to be holding up well, holding off scuffs and scrapes with just a little bit of soap and water.

Comments about TheNorthFace KABAN:
Overall it's a great pack and the contrasting colors are cool but I wish they did the bright orange inside the black on instead of the mustard color. The zipper on the top pocket seems to bind a lot making it kind of a hassle and the laptop pull tab is completely useless, Its easier and faster to just grab the laptop so I just don't use it and its not in the way.

I owned the last version of this bag but wanted a new one to travel with. Pleasantly surprised with the new design. Nothing wrong with last years model. Like how easily it stands up on its own.

Comments about TheNorthFace KABAN:
Best small back I've owned. It's lightweight and slim - yet deep so you can fit lots of gear including your MAC or tablet. Longer and slim turns out to be much better than short and fat. It fits all that gear neatly and even tucks in nicely under an airplane sit. It is longer but that makes it actually makes it more form-fitting and comfortable. Great design and great look.

Comments about TheNorthFace KABAN:
It's impressive, once I got a look at it I was in love, the main compartment has a lot of space and fitted all the things I use for my work like a glove, I'm kinda disappointed I couldn't find any waterproof bag to use in the city, there's only one backpack and doesn't really appeal in that way.

I am a designer and mainly bough it for the beautiful minimal aesthetics but it exceeded my expectations when it came to utility and comfort, by far the best backpack I've owned.

Comments about TheNorthFace KABAN:
I use this bag for commuting to the office and gym. I like that it does not feel/look bulky especially when riding on public transit and that I can squish my gym clothes and sneakers into the bag and still put my laptop in the separate compartment. Can't say how it will hold-up over time, but initial quality seems good.
