<p>I'm an 18 year old male going to NYU next semester so I'm going to need a good bag for the city. Many people recommend to get a North Face bag so I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the brand and if so which do they recommend? I would like something that would be able to carry my laptop (15 inch) and some books.</p>

<p>I'm currently looking at/interested in three right now and they are the:</p>

<p>North Face Borealis:
The</a> North FaceEquipmentDaypacksBOREALIS BACKPACK</p>

<p>North Face Heckler:
The</a> North Face Equipment Daypacks HECKLER BACKPACK</p>

<p>North Face Recon:

<p>Thanks in advance!!</p>

<p>I have the Reacon in black and love it. I use it for both classes and hiking trips, and it’s in like-new condition after two years of heavyish use.</p>

<p>yea a lot of people recommended that one for the same reason you stated</p>

<p>Does it really have to be North Face? I can vouch for my Jansport as being awesome. Lifetime warranty, and I believe because of patents they’re the only company which can put squishy gel in the straps which feels awesome.</p>

<p>It doesn’t have to be North Face, that’s just the brand I’m the most familiar with. I’ll look into Jansport as well I guess, thanks!</p>

<p>Really North Face?</p>

<p>Are you also going to use your iPhone/iPod with Beats by Dre headphones? Maybe get a Mac? Wearvsone Holister or American Eagle? </p>

<p>Lol</p>

<p>What’s wrong with buying and using decent backpacks?</p>

<p>My bicycle has a $150 set of German-made panniers and I’ll probably tote an Osprey or Gregory pack around campus. Some things are worth spending money on.</p>

<p>BTW, “Beats by Dre” is junk, just like Skullcandy. Now Klipsch, Shure, Grado Labs, etc. - those are quality headphones.</p>

<p>I wasn’t naming things that were better than everything else I was naming things that are all overly popular for little to no reason</p>

<p>North Faces are probably popular for their aesthetics and durability</p>

<p>iPods and iPhones are popular because of their very simple, clean interfaces and in the iPhone’s case a very wide range of apps. Maybe you don’t like the UI or the limitations iOS has compared to, say, Android (I myself own an EVO 4G) but it seems a lot of people do.</p>
