The North Face: Big Shot Backpack (25789)

See the New Big Shot Laptop Backpack

Whether you're headed into the mountains for skiing and hiking or bound for the desert for bouldering and biking, this 2,100-cubic-inch Big Shot Backpack is a superb multifunctional choice. While other daypacks sometimes compromise outdoor features to meet the everyday needs of school and urban commutes, The North Face Big Shot backpack remains more backcountry-specific with a hydration sleeve, side water bottles pockets, vertical stash compartments and a Safe-T whistle on the sternum strap. Granted, you could stick a compact laptop computer into the padded universal sleeve and you could stash pencils and pads in the internal organizer inside the main compartment--if that's your idea of an outdoor adventure.
