Overall, this backpack can with stand the elements it keeps water out and your stuff dry. The material is extremely durable so it won't get torn. One of the most important things about a good backpack are the zippers. These zippers never break. The zippers are also always aligned. This backpack also has great padded straps that distribute weight evenly.

This backpack offers extreme durability and flexibility for any daytrip. There aren't too many pockets. It has easy accessibility to all of the zip-up pouches, dual water bottle holders, and a 1,800 cubic inch capacity that can hold 2 12 packs of soda.

This is by far my favorite backpack. It is plenty big for holding a rope, a rack, food, water, and even a light jacket. It has plenty of handy pockets for your rock shoes and harness. It carries well if you need to bring it up with you on the route.

I have used North Face products for years and they have all lasted for a long time. They have very comfortable straps which makes the packs easy on the shoulders and felt lighter even when the pack is heavy. It is large in the inside which enables them to hold a lot of stuff.

This back pack is also dependable. The straps are durable. There are enough spaces for writing utensils. There is enough space for large quanities of books. The design is a durable mesh which holds everything.

A great backpack. It's light and durable. It has a hip strap which other day packs lack. It has a lot of good places to clip things. It makes a good school backpack as well.

The Exocet day pack is good for campus as well as for day hikes. It holds enough to take all your books to class in one trip. North Face gear always holds up.

This backpack is a good medium sized pack that has strategically placed pockets for everything. It's very durable and the straps are an added bonus for comfort.

Lots of pockets and room to store stuff. Comfortable and durable. A great all weather pack!

North Face backpacks are very rugged and druable. They are too expensive though!

It has a tough bottom! There is thick padding on the side handles.
