Question 1

I have a 15.6-inch gaming laptop. Will it fit securely in this backpack?**

Accepted Answer

The padded laptop sleeve is designed to fit most 15-inch laptops, but it's a fairly snug compartment. If you have a thicker gaming laptop (over 1.2 inches deep), it may be a tight squeeze. For a standard 13- or 14-inch ultrabook, you'll have plenty of room, but we recommend checking your device dimensions against the internal sleeve measurements—some users on Reddit have noted the sleeve is better suited for slimmer models.

Question 2

I keep seeing videos on TikTok about the water resistance not holding up. Is it truly waterproof?**

Accepted Answer

Great question. The backpack features a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which is great for light drizzle or splashes. However, it is *not* fully waterproof. If you're caught in a heavy downpour or wet commute, we'd suggest using a rain cover or an internal dry bag for your electronics—many users have shared that tip online after a soggy experience.

Question 3

How comfortable is this for walking around campus or a full day of travel?**

Accepted Answer

For light loads (a laptop, a few notebooks, lunch), the Vault is comfortable and well-balanced. But if you plan to carry heavy textbooks, a water bottle, and a full change of clothes, you might find the shoulder straps start to dig in after an hour. Unlike the Borealis model, this pack lacks a padded hip belt for weight distribution, so it's best suited for shorter commutes or light daily use.

Question 4

I've seen some reviews mention zipper issues. Is this a common problem?**

Accepted Answer

A small number of users have reported zippers snagging or the pulls detaching after several months of daily use. The zippers are generally durable, but like any bag, they work best when not overstuffed. If you do encounter a problem, The North Face offers a limited lifetime warranty on their backpacks, so you can reach out to customer support for a repair or replacement.

Question 5

Is this better than the North Face Borealis? Which one should I buy?**

Accepted Answer

It really depends on your load. The Vault is sleeker and lighter, perfect for a minimal daily carry. The Borealis, on the other hand, has a padded hip belt and more robust strap padding—ideal for heavier loads or longer walks. If you're carrying more than a laptop and a sweater, the Borealis is the smarter investment. If style and lightness are your priority, the Vault is a solid choice.
