Hot Shot

Nov 11, 2025

For those in their 40s

I thought the all black was good, but it feels a bit too childish for someone in their 40s.

I've wanted this for a long time and I'm so happy I could buy it when it was restocked. I'll take good care of it.

easy to use.

I replaced my HotShot after about 15 years. I felt it has evolved a lot compared to the previous one, and it feels easier to carry. It works well, so I think I can use it for a while again.

cool

The all black looks cool. The size is just right for a little outing. I purchased it immediately after it was restocked, and when I looked later, it was sold out right away, so I made the right decision.

for everyday use

I was torn between the single shot and the HotShot, but when I tried it in the store, I found the size of the HotShot to be good, and I had been waiting for the all black to be resold. It was worth the wait; it looks great. It can hold a lot and seems good for everyday use as well as for a 2-3 night trip.

all black, all OK

I think the HotShot is a backpack that implements ideal functions and performance as a daypack. Even on hot days, I feel the load is lightened on the train. The all black is versatile and can be used for business, which makes me very happy.

wonderful and cool

Waiting for the restock and immediately purchasing after the order was placed felt like it was never going to happen... I'm glad I didn’t give up and waited; it works well, and I want to share it with my grandchild and use it a lot.

satisfying limited all black

I've been using the HotShot for a long time and finally managed to buy the limited edition AK that I've been eagerly waiting for. It was my first purchase in a while, but the 2025 resale model has various updates, and I’m very satisfied. The side buckle is shaped differently from the usual ones and looks cool. The main storage no longer has the PC cushion at the bottom. The sub-storage has lost some detailed compartments, but it's good that the mesh part and the small separation part have become larger.

I wanted the all black, so I bought this all black. It's as cool as I expected, but the capacity wasn't enough. Please make the Big Shot in all black too.

I wasn't planning to purchase, but there was a sale of the all black, and I bought it on impulse. It’s great that it doesn’t make a logo statement and is easy to match!

the luxury of all black

The North Face logo stands out just the right amount and is black, giving a sense of unity. The Shot series tends to be seen as casual, but the all black effect gives it a feeling of luxury, so it’s convenient for both the office and private use. It has many pockets and excellent storage. It feels light to carry as well.

Shot Series

I was buying for different purposes, so I ended up purchasing all sizes. Finally, I capped it off with the all-black Hot Shot. I was using the single shot on holidays, but I wanted a slightly larger size, and I was drawn to the all-black, so I bought it. Both usability and size are great. It doesn't stand on its own, so it will fall if placed on the floor. At first, it bothered me a lot, but I got used to it over time. I love the Shot series!

gift

I purchased it as a gift for a college student’s coming-of-age celebration. There were many reviews from adults, and I thought it would be something that could be used for a long time regardless of age. I really liked that the all black doesn't strongly emphasize the brand logo, and when I sent a screenshot, the person replied, 'This is cool! This is great!' and I decided immediately. The shipping was also very fast.

Purchased for overseas business trips. I already have the single shot and shuttle daypack slim, but I was looking for something a bit larger. The logo being black and inconspicuous is great.

I've been using the Big Shot until now, but since I didn't use that much capacity and the backpack was a bit heavy, I wanted just the right amount, so this is perfect.

All Black

I've been using HOT SHOT for 10 years... It's convenient, so I was planning to repurchase and saw the All Black online, and bought it immediately. It's good that it doesn't overlap with others. I will continue to use All Black.

All black looks cool!

I originally own a regular black Hot Shot, but when the all-black model came out, I was tempted to buy it again... Since it was restocked, I ended up buying it. The logo being the same color and inconspicuous is a subtle design that is really cool! The size is also easy to use and it’s a versatile backpack.

The bag itself has some weight, but I don't feel it when I wear it. It holds a lot of items, which is good. It’s so comfortable I forget I’m wearing it.

I've wanted a North Face backpack for a long time. I decided to buy it after my business bag zipper broke after years of use.
All black is really nice. For everyday use, I find it easier to use when the logo is less noticeable.

Fits perfectly

After much contemplation, I bought this size, and it was the right choice.
During summer travel, I was thinking of putting my baby's things and my own in it to keep my hands free. If it’s just for my own stuff, even a single version would be big enough... I'll take good care of it.
