THE NORTH FACE Men's Surge Backpack (pack of 1)

Product Information

Overall, most people find that the stiffness of the bag is tolerable when it has lots of items inside, but it can feel a bit more awkward when empty. Some bags will have internal padding that gives your belongings extra protection. So if you’re carrying valuables like cameras or a laptop with you on your travels, you’ll definitely want to make sure your bag keeps them safe from bumps and bashes. No matter where or how far you’ll be traveling, you want to ensure that the North Face Surge will be comfortable for long-term wear. The North Face is a brand that specialises in outdoor clothing and gear for adventurous campers and travellers. As most have come to expect from this major name brand, it’s made of the highest quality materials – in this case, ripstop nylon.

Another way to make sure your bag offers enough protection is to get a waterproof bag. This way if you’re venturing somewhere with bad weather, or you’re hiking and get caught in the rain, water isn’t going to dampen your possessions or ruin your electricals. Ventilation: how good is the air flow? Much like the Surge, this also has a dedicated laptop compartment, which makes it ideal for digital nomads. The laptop compartment is well padded and protected, so there’s no risk of any damage to your laptop. Now that we’ve covered the materials, let’s get into the external components. On the front of the bag there are two rows of daisy chains where you can clip on additional accessories with a carabiner. We used these to attach a Topo Designs Square Bag pouch and it was pretty much perfect. Below that, there are compression straps that you can use to condense the bottom of the bag for everyday carry. We didn’t find these to be too necessary since the bag is only 31L with a relatively slim profile in the first place. If you’re commuting via crowded train, however, being able to cinch the bag down a bit could come in handy. It’s also water-resistant, so there’s no need to worry about your belongings being damaged by bad weather or damp ground.If you intend to wear this bag for a long time, breathability is one feature that you absolutely must consider. These compress the bottom of the bag, making it easier to carry and squeeze into tight spaces. Handle

The guys out there will be pleased to hear it’s designed to be just as comfortable as the ladies’ Surge and Recon, with the same FlexVent suspension system and padded straps providing ultimate comfort. This laptop day bag is bigger than the women’s alternatives, being 17″ rather than 15″. So it fits much more than just a laptop. You won’t run the risk of damaging a laptop in this padded section. You’ll also love that this compartment is fleece-lined for added protection and to prevent your devices from getting scratched. After the laptop sleeve, you’ll want to know as much as possible about the interior organization of the bag.The bag’s interior is equally high quality, polyester, and lined with fleece to protect your electronic devices and breakable goods like sunglasses. The Borealis’s interior is also designed for those who like to keep organised. It has different compartments, and some padding to keep your belongings from becoming squashed, damaged or bashed. This is particularly key if you’re traveling with lots of tech gadgets you want to protect from water. d. Comfort It’s an affordable option to expand your camping gear without breaking the bank. When it comes to comfort, the Surge really shines.
