The North Face Slingshot Laptop Backpack

The North Face Slingshot Laptop Backpack

NEWwith updated fit and features. At a glance the Slingshot Laptop Backpack from The North Face doesn't look any wider or longer than the similarly sized Jester, Sweeper and Vault day packs from The North Face--and it isn't. The reason that the Slingshot offers more space is that it has over two inches of extra expandable width along the sides, giving it a carrying capacity of 2135 cubic inches instead of the standard 1,850. The North Face also attached side compression straps to the front trampoline system so you can cinch down that extra width when you don't need it. All that extra load potential and control adds an additional five ounces to this pack compared to the slightly smaller designs, but you're not going to notice a difference when you're hauling around eighteen credits worth of reading material. If you're staying late at the office or library, the Slingshot also has plenty of reflective elements, so you have a better chance of being seen by passing motorists (or your workaholic boss).

great pack!!!!!
I use this pack for going to school, so I have to put in my laptop, some books and some extra clothes for the gym plus some snacks for the day. The carrying capacity is incredibly large which doesn't affect the comfort a your back. It has nice big external side pockets to carry your mug or water bottles, as well as a frontal organizer, where to put pens, money, etc. There aren't signs of damage or tears, so I think I will stay with this pack for a long time!

I got this backpack for Christmas to carry my new laptop. It has plenty of room, easy to get into and get my stuff out. Like the color. I ordered it at the last minute . I was so happy that it was free shipping, came just in 2 days and it was perfect. Love this North Face Slingshot backpack!

Great backpack for college
Got this backpack because the straps on my old one collapsed. The Slingshot is great - sturdy, lightweight and has great carrying capacity. There are handy side pockets and the front flap contains many sectioned-off pockets for holding pencils and things. All in all, a great backpack.

The Slingshot is a Winner
We just purchased our a Slingshot for our 3rd child because we love this product so much! Our older two kids have used their Slingshots for 3 years now - they have taken quite a beating but show virtually no wear and tear. In addition to being extremely durable, the Slinghshot is the only backpack we've found to comfortably hold all of their books, lunch, gym clothes, etc...! It is very ergonomically designed, so we don't have complaints of aching backs or shoulders either. We would recommend this product to anyone with a child middleschool age and up!
