The Vault Backpack is one of North Face's general utility laptop backpacks. It's better identified as a little brother to the Recon Backpack. The Vault features a 26.5-liter volume capacity, exhibits various organisation capabilities and ensures durability and protection whilst providing ample support and comfort - making the Vault Laptop Backpack a well-balanced, technical, durable and organisational backpack.
The main compartment of the Vault Laptop Backpack features a floating, fleece-lined and padded laptop sleeve that houses up to a 16" laptop and sits well above the base of the bag to protect it from drop impacts. The secondary compartment serves to organise all your gear with an organisation panel featuring zip pockets, velcro pockets, pen slots and a key clip. Two mesh side stash pockets can be used for water bottles or other such sized items. It comes with 360-degree reflective detailing and a bike attachment loop to ensure your visibility at night.
The Vault Laptop Backpack is constructed with a durable polyester and reinforced at the base. For heavy or longer travels, the Vault supports your carry with North Face's FlexVent suspension system that features compression-moulded adjustable shoulder straps and a padded air-mesh back panel with a centre airflow channel for maximum support and ventilation. The FlexVent shoulder straps create innovative flex zones that alleviate clavicle hot spots, pressure-point strain, and neck pain. A sternum strap offers added stability and load control and doubles as a whistle. All North Face bags come with accreditation from the American Chiropractic Association certifying that they've been engineered to carry the heaviest of loads.
The updated FlexVent suspension system features a flexible yoke built from custom injection-molded shoulder straps; an unbelievably comfortable, padded mesh back panel; and a highly breathable lumbar panel for maximum breathability all day long

Not impressed by the quality of North Face backpacks. They look appealing but the zippers and inner lining fail within the first year.
