this one has the most storage pockets vs the other north face backpacks. it's good if you're hauling a lot of tech items.

the only issue is the bag gets stretched horizontally when the water bottle holders and those 2 side by side pockets are filled. it's awkwardly flat and the nylon feels like it's close to tearing

I'm looking for a bag with some structure. Will this stand up on it's own when filled?

I bought the blue one a few weeks ago from macy's for $90 during a one day sale. I've owned several north face backpacks over the decades and I can tell you this is the last one I'm ever going to buy. Ever since VFF bought NF, the quality has gone down severely. The material is cheap and is barely there. I've noticed the same thing with Timberland after VFF bought them out. No more Timberland for me either.

I'm only starting to learn about all of it. You can read this short article fod a good background:

https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/...on-purpose

VFF purchased North Face, Jansport, Eastpak, Eagle Creek, 55% of the backpack martket. So when you're comparing like Jansport to a North Face, you're comparing against the same company. The goods keep getting cheaper and thinner and flimsier etc. I would read a little bit about denier counts.

I'm just learning about it. But I'd imagine reputable companies like Filson still make good thick backpacks. I still have a while till I buy a new one since I just bought my Surge a few weeks ago, so I don't need to research it much yet.
