The North Face Backpacks?

Question

I bought a new North Face backpack for school and I am walking home this year. I only live a 15-20 min walk away from my school. If it's raining after school some days and I can't find a ride, do you think my backpack would be fine? This is the one I bought:

It doesn't say waterproof, so anyone have experience with their backpacks in the rain?

Answer 1

Ok first off North Face has great stuff.  If it does not say waterproof, I would say it is not.  It say's it is a day pack.   Make sure you do not over load it.  The back and shoulders just are not made for heavy weighted books.  Even out your weight also.  Now down on the page where it tells you about your pack...it also say's if you have questions for them to ask.  That is what I would do.  Also if you still have your receipt you might want to take it back if you are really walking home in the rain....ask them to suggest one to you.  I wish you luck, and you have yourself a good quality back....but ask about being waterproof.
