The North Face - Surge Backpack

Roomy fit: This bag offers plenty of room for essentials and everyday belongings.

Do you spend just as many hours on the move as in the office? Then the Surge backpack is ideal. To start with, it's made from durable recycled nylon ripstop so doesn't need to be handled with care. Thanks to moulded shoulder straps, a padded back panel and its FlexVent suspension system, it's comfortable to carry - even when fully loaded. The 31-litre volume is made up of a large main compartment, a front compartment with a padded tablet sleeve and zipped pockets, and a laptop sleeve. And if you like to get out and hike at the weekends, the (removable) waist belt, sternum strap and two external water bottle pockets will come in pretty handy.
