The North Face Berkeley Daypack - PFAS Free, TNF Black/Mineral Gold-NPF, One Size

I’ve been looking for a backpack for commuting to work and travel. My requirements were that it holds my mammoth laptop (17in. brick for my type of work) which I know it says it will hold a 16” but I was hoping! I also really wanted 2 water bottle pockets, a luggage pass through (which the Berkeley doesn’t have); and also that it stands up on its own so it’s not a pain to load and unload. It does! My other requirements seemed to be the most difficult, I didn’t want it to be too outdoorsy and the color had to be black or somewhat neutral, and lastly cost $100ish or less. I love the look of the Berkeley it comes in black and the price is perfect, the luggage pass through I can live without but my laptop only fits in the main compartment making it cumbersome to access other things. It would be a great travel backpack with my personal laptop. The main compartment would be plenty big for all the in flight necessities. It’s comfortable on my petite frame and doesn’t look like a child’s backpack or I’m getting ready to go on a hike! The quality looks like typical North Face - totally wished the laptop sleeve was like an inch wider! 5 stars because it is (almost) perfect!

I’ve been a big fan of The North Face product line for years. Their jackets and coats hold up beautifully and really stand the test of time. Well, this adorable little backpack is no exception. It’s stylish and very well made, plus it holds a shockingly large number of items while still being light enough to easily and comfortably carry. (I have a 4 level 360 lumbar fusion and I can’t carry much weight, 5-10lbs max.) I bought this bag for a recent Alaskan Cruise and it was perfect. I was able to fit my entire medium sized purse inside, along with my Nintendo switch, a paperback book, a light jacket, my water bottle and quite a few snacks. This is now my go to travel backpack for every occasion. If you are on the fence, buy it! You won’t be disappointed.

Perfect size, nice material, cushy, easy to carry. It's not big enough for a bunch of textbooks, but it's perfect for a few notebooks and a laptop and pens.

Gifted to my daughter as she needed college backpack. She loved it. Beautiful color. Very spacious

Perfect for average EDC. Fits my work snacks, work jacket and my EDC pouch.Would have been better if water bottle pouch can accommodate larger bottles and the “daisy chain” design on the straps aren’t real. I thought I could clip things on like my hair clip or sunglasses. But nope.

This is a great everyday work bag for your laptop and other needs. I love the simplicity and color is pretty too. I've been using it awhile now and has held up well.

Great size and comfy straps! Seems like it will last a while

The backpack is very sturdy with great feature pockets. Two on the side, two mesh inside, a separate laptop sleeve and a front pocket. We are using it for our toddler age boys for a plane ride and it fits a little big but I love how durable it is, I am 5’1 size 8 jeans and fits great, my husband is 6’4 and he feels it is too small for his frame
