Northface Surge Backpack Review

You have to be at your office in the morning, meeting friends at the gym in the afternoon and, to make matters worse, you have to lug books to your night class.  No time to go home and change or pick up books.  Instead of looking forward to a day of backbreaking work, the Northface Surge gives you the chance to keep your schedule and your spine in tact.  Northface, more than any other company, realizes the benefits of keeping a healthy body so you can enjoy the things you love.  While all Northface products are high quality, the Surge is made with your back in mind.  Mixing comfort and scientifically proven structure, the Surge is just what you need to make it through your day.

 Endorsements

If keeping a wallet in your back pocket can throw off your balance then what do you think a full-fledged backpack could do?  Northface has worked closely with chiropractic foundations to ensure that their backpacks not only are made of with high-quality products, but also displace the weight to your hips and legs.  The Surge has been specifically endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) as a product that is functional and safe for your back.  This means that you can feel safe wearing it around all day every day loaded with office, school and life supplies.

Features and Uses

An extremely versatile bag, the Surge is ideal for a host of individuals.  From office guru to school nerd to athlete addict, the Surge is perfect for everyone.  Each of the standard features on the Surge serves a number of purposes and provide all the needed space.
