The North Face Vault Backpack

Product Information

The Woojin side-release buckle works as intended, although it has a slightly different mechanism from the ones we usually see. Online Exclusive items cannot be delivered to the Channel Islands, Isle of man or the Isle of Wight.

With that in mind, we prefer keeping both of the main compartment’s zippers to one side (they’re unlikely to shift up, after all).

As a result, the pockets can’t hold bottles in place, letting them slip out whenever the Vault’s tilted on its back. The Vault (3VY2) is maybe without jazzy components but for uncomplicated trips into town or to work, you can be sure of a reliable location to look after everything from pens to portable devices. Created by two hiking fans, the brand counts on innovative techniques to propose high-tech and high-performance products to push the limits of performance. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalized web experience. And the main compartment still has space for a couple of books and your laptop in a separate protective sleeve.

This will be either BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) or SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit), which are social auditing methologies and reports but are not an accreditation. The silver lining for the Vault’s SBS zippers is it’s only the former issue affecting it and not the latter. In between are flanking daisy-chain loops, slightly slanted inwards in a V-shape to provide a little aesthetic flair.
