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.
