The North Face Vault Everyday Laptop Backpack
North Face priced the Vault Everyday Laptop Backpack in the mid-range ($52.50 [was $70]), and still packed it with the FlexVent harness, a padded 15-inch laptop sleeve, and a frame that lets the bag sit upright on a table or floor. Measuring 11 inches wide, 8.5 inches deep, and 18 inches tall, the 27-liter pack weighs 1 pound 11 ounces and uses 600-denier recycled polyester with a non-PFC water-repellent coating.
