The North Face Recon Backpack The North Face: Recon Backpack
See the New Recon Laptop Backpack

A favorite of students and day hike enthusiasts this redesigned Recon Backpack from The North Face features a new universal padded sleeve that accommodates most laptop computers and also doubles as a hydration bladder pouch. This design is very similar to other 1850-cubic-inch backpacks made by The North Face but the Recon offers a large front mesh pocket that easily expands to accommodate a cycling helmet making it a superb choice for recreational riders and daily commuters. This backpack also has BackSaver Technology to potentially reduce lower back strain between classes and extended rides. The North Face developed their BackSaver Technology by angling the bottom of the Recon pack to shift the pack weight closer to your back making this daypack ideal for moderate loads with a large hydration bladder or big campus projects involving a stack of reference material. Like other day packs from The North Face the Recon offers superior construction with 840-denier Hypalon® reinforcements built to last through an entire academic career and countless trips back to the home office. The backpanel is laminated with molded channels that actually ventilate instead of those other designs that push clammy perspiration up against your skin all day. The hipbelt also tucks away giving this compact backpack a streamlined profile for overhead bins on trains planes and buses.

I will be starting law school in the fall and wanted a backpack that could hold a lot of heavy books and not kill my back. This backpack and its back saving technology works wonderfully. I also like the organizational compartment in the front pocket where there is space for my cell phone ipod and pens and pencils. Also the mesh front is perfect for shoving jackets or other large items into. Overall I am very happy with my purchase and believe it would work very well for other students who know they will have a large amount of books to carry around

I got this pack about three months ago and I love it. It's very well made and still looks brand new after three months of use. It's got lots of pockets to keep your stuff organized and the straps are well cushioned so it doesn't dig into your shoulders even if you have heavy stuff in it. My cell phone doesn't really fit well in the cell phone pocket on the shoulder strap but that pocket great for a small Mp3 player. The only downside is that the way the two main compartments are set up if you have something bulky in one it makes it hard to put much in the other.

Very nice backpack but really too small for someone who has alot of books and should probably go with the Northface Heckler if they want more space..my only concern is if the Recon is water resistant as it doesnt say it is DWR like the Heckler does. The problem we have had in the past with other brands is that all their papers and books got sopping wet whenever it rained. That is a big problem!!All backpacks should be water resistant or waterproof!

I really do like this pack Image: 5 Stars
