The North Face Sweeper Laptop Backpack

While The North Face makes a series of daypacks in the 1,850-cubic-inch range, the Sweeper remains our favorite for mixing business and sports pleasures. Besides the oversized stretch mesh pouch for a basketball, the Sweeper also has extra large side water bottle pockets and enough room for your gym clothes and laptop. Past incarnations included a separate clothing compartment, but this updated design takes functionality a step further with a practical universal sleeve for your personal computer or hydration bladder. You'll also find a secondary compartment with an organizer to accommodate your pens, pencils, laser pointers and corporate note pads. Keep in mind that the extra features add a few extra ounces and an inch or two of length compared to other North Face backpacks with similar carrying capacities, but if you're looking for an easy way to take your ball and go home, the Sweeper helps you keep your act together.

Good pack so far
I already had a NF pack for a couple of years and wanted to get another one. They are both great packs, from using it everyday for school to traveling to outdoor adventures. It is well designed and the quality is worth the money.

Best College Pack
I have this pack for about 2 years now and it it in perfect shape just a little dirty and washes out very easily. The bottom pouch is great for my work out cloths. There is plenty room for all my stuff.
