As most have come to expect from this major name brand, it’s made of the highest quality materials – in this case, ripstop nylon. It has a laptop compartment designed to accommodate a 15.6-inch laptop in addition to books and other materials.This is particularly key if you’re traveling with lots of tech gadgets you want to protect from water. d. Comfort If you intend to wear this bag for a long time, breathability is one feature that you absolutely must consider. 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? Another thing to consider here is the shoulder straps. In addition to the padding that makes them extremely comfortable to wear, you’ll also find similar tech here to increase airflow around the shoulders. Stiffness

The lid also doubles as a day bag, and can be attached and detached from the bag so you don’t have to worry about carrying two bags at once.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. 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. The shoulder straps are also padded, and they are custom-molded. Obviously, they are also adjustable, which means that anyone can make them fit their own body perfectly. It’s an affordable option to expand your camping gear without breaking the bank. When it comes to comfort, the Surge really shines. 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.
