The North Face Heckler Laptop Backpack

Readily recognized as one of the larger capacity flash packs for travel and commutes, The North Face Heckler Backpack has over 2,050 cubic inches of compartments and storage potential you need to take your laptop, digital video camera, MP3 player and game accessories back to school, along to work or out on the open road. Like other large day packs made by The North Face, the Heckler features side compression straps for load control, but you'll also find an extra compression strap along the bottom to thoroughly cinch down your internal pack contents. This can help quite a bit when you're trudging along to catch a bus and you don't want your iPod or computer hard drive to miss a beat. Along the front stash pocket you'll find a headphone port to keep you wired while riding the train. The internal Universal sleeve fits most computer laptop designs currently on the market, although you'll also find that the sleeve works for most mid-sized hydration bladders. We like the extra padding along the shoulder straps and found it was exceptionally helpful for toting around older and heavier laptop computers.

GREAT BACKPACK
I got this backpack last year for traveling abroad. I am very impressed with the amount of things it can hold. It has a separate layer for my laptop and everything else can fit right in. Initially I chose this backpack because of the design and once I got, I realized how great of a backpack it is.

Nice Surprise
For Christmas last year, I surprised my college student with this backpack. He loved everything about it and immediately put it to good use. Almost a year later, it is still being used a lot and in great condition...a great purchase in many ways! Altrec has also been a good company to do business with...

Perfect Backpack
This backpack fits a lot, my laptop, clothes and whatnot. I bought the Saratoga Green & it looks great. The shoulder straps are very comfortable for wearing all day long. I highly recommend this pack to anyone.
