Review on North Face Surge TNF Black Laptop Accessories in Bags, Cases & Sleeves by Joel Gardner

I was looking for a backpack that I can only take with me when I travel, after testing many bags I chose TNF Chose Surge as it has all the features I need, great organization and was the perfect size.Overall it was an incredible bag, it fit under the seat in front of me, had organization for tech gear and separate areas for laptop and tablet.However there was one fatal blemish that only became apparent after a few days of use: *** it was very uncomfortable *** the shoulder straps cut into my chest and carrying a backpack hurt my back a lot.This was when I was about 17 pounds weighed C. I've had him through a now better suited hiking backpack replaces same size and it's about Very comfortable, I feel like this backpack is not designed to carry a heavy load or be comfortable fully loaded. The shoulder straps don't feel great, are very stiff and don't have any weight lifting features. The back panel lays flat against the back, which is much less comfortable than a bag with some curvature, and the hip belt was also completely useless for shifting weight off the shoulders. If you want this backpack to be able to carry a heavy load, I would look for brands that are more focused on comfort. (Osprey, Gregory and others). and would recommend waist belts. That aside, I'll probably use it as my daily wear when I'm done with my trip, as other than those issues, I really liked it.
