Wow do I love this backpack...great for me as a full-time professional and as a mom. I love North Face because they replace their backpacks for life if something goes wrong but beyond that I love this backpack for so many other reasons.
> The straps are very comfortable, they are wider where they meet the pack which makes for a very comfy and secure-feeling carry.
> Drink pockets are pretty deep (although maybe they could be a little deeper?) My 16oz Yeti tumbler fits perfectly in there.
> The zippers are such great quality, i can easily open and close them with one hand, even when the pockets are empty!
> I looked at couple smaller "commuter" backpacks but when I read the reviews the sleeve for the laptop would barely fit my 13" Mac Pro. Since I may have a bigger laptop someone day, i passed for the Pivoter.
> The very front zipper pocket is perfect for my wallet, extra cords etc. Good size for boarding passes etc too.
> My absolute favorite pocket is the middle one, or the one with the C-shaped zipper. Ya'll, this is clutch. First, the pocket is huge and I love there there aren't any organizing pockets, or pen pockets to tempt me to take up any of this space. I've kept a really large sunglass case, big bulky gloves, and a big pencil bag and I barely filled up a third of the pocket. The best was when I traveling with my kids, having the pocket open up all the way made it just as easy to access the stuff at the bottom as on the top.
> The top pocket is great, love that the laptop sleeve is very well padded and that the pen and organizing pockets are right there and very generously sized, too! This holds several thinner notebooks and file folders with no problem as well as my power cord etc. Large textbooks, though, this probably isn't the best option out there.
For a commuter bag, I think this is a tremendous option, lots of open space to do with as you choose and it serves multiple functions wonderfully. PS: this bag is a perfect fit for the space under the seat in front you on a plane, even on the aisle seat which always has less space then the other two seats.

The Cobalt blue is gorgeous. I was worried it would be shiny from the picture but it's not, and the 3rd photo in the series for this color is most accurate. I had a hard time deciding between the northface styles but ultimately chose this because of the placement of the organization panel facing the back in the main compartment. I use my backpack for school and as my everyday "purse" since I use mass transit. The layout of this backpack is perfect. It's not too big, fits my laptop, tablet, a couple paperback books, some personal items, a light hoodie/sweater, with a water bottle in one side and umbrella in the other. Really well made. Super comfortable. Highly recommend, worth the extra $.

I highly recommend this backpack for anyone that likes to travel light and wants a backpack with a lot of space. I got this backpack based on a review from a mom traveling with her kids, as I needed a backpack for travel with my kids...and it was PERFECT. This backpack has so much more room than my other north face back pack. SO MUCH ROOM. I was surprised I could fit as much as I did and still had room for more. The compartments are better and easier to use than any other backpack I've ever owned. I had no problem wearing it comfortably for over an hour in the airport with a toddler strapped to my front side. If you're unsure which backpack to buy, get this one!

Good backpack for junior high and at least freshman year. Multiple sections helps with organization and outside pockets for water Bottles has eliminated potential for disaster.

I'm a minimalist when it comes to packing for travel. I took the North Face Pivoter on a 3 week trip to Europe as my only luggage (other than my purse) and it was absolutely perfect. I liked the front opening a lot because everything was very accessible! I managed to squeeze in 3 shirts, an extra pair of jeans, a few pairs of underwear and socks, a backpacking type towel, a small toiletries bag, and a book. It was plenty roomy and even accommodated some souvenirs on the way back. I've also used it around town, and on day hikes too, so it's a good size for everyday use too.

It's a great, lightweight bag that is great for my long commute into downtown. It's practical and detailed while also stylish enough for the office.

This backpack is light and can hold loads/ the back part is padded, so you don't feel the insides or sharp items within your pack.

Everything is great about it I have a phone clef for everything that needs to be in my back pack. Although whenever I put my notebooks back in my back pack they always snag on the pockets maybe try building a flap over the pockets for snagging

We purchased this for our son to carry his computer and books for college. We were very surprised in the quality and room for everything he needed. Even when full it was a comfortable fit. I would recommend this item.
