VERY IMPORTANT. I bought this exact one and it turns out this is the WOMEN'S version! It isn't listed as such, but you can tell by the pictures only and when it arrives it has a "women's " tag on it. But it looks like the other colors on this listing are men's. This color is definitely women's though. I returned one, then re ordered and the second one came in the same way.

I have an older version of TNF surge. Back then the men's and women's version were different sizes. I'm too lazy to do the research on this version

I am not familiar with this particular model, but in the past packs for women sometimes:

* were slightly smaller than the equivalent model for men;
* had more curve on the straps (to go accommodate the chest); and
* were designed for a shorter torso lengths.

On Zappos you can see on the back that the padding is curved while the men's they are straight lines. The women's version is shorter, designed for a smaller torso, and the straps are closer together for someone with smaller shoulders.

Yup, men's version of the Surge backpack does not come in this color. This is the women's version that is designed for a shorter torso.

And, they haven't even started their day yet. He's waiting in the driveway for her to emerge. Departure was supposed to be 10 min ago.

"a women-specific suspension" per North Face.
