The North Face Recon Backpack - 1850cu in

When you need a staple pack for school, a day hike, or just a trip to the beach, The North Face Recon Backpack ups the ante for comfort and durability. A padded laptop sleeve protects the brains of the operation, and a hydration port protects your body from dehydration. Bomber nylon and nearly indestructible Hypalon fabric combine with a breathable, air-channeled back panel and signature mammoth mesh pocket to make a comfortable, well-organized backpack. The Recon Backpack is clean enough for school usage, but tough and techy enough for day hikes. Find out for yourself what makes the Recon one of The North Face's most popular backpacks.*Water bottle not included.

Bottom Line: As tough as a day at school can get, it's no match for The North Face Recon Backpack.

Recon Review

By: Anonymous(1)
September 9, 2007

This is a great back pack for school/college and a weekend pack. I personally could use it for a weekend even though they call it a day pack. A very sturdy and strong bag! Other than the pros and cons listed that I hope they will improve on, it's a great backpack. None of the Cons I listed would make me return the bag by any means though. Pros: -Excellent zippers. -Strong straps to attach extras to if needed -Water bottle holders aren't cheaply made like on other packs. Cons: -Padding in shoulder straps isn't great. -Waist belt not padded either. -Helmet pocket strap covers water resistant zipper - not easily accessed

Good pack, a little thick

By: Kelsi(3)
June 21, 2007

I noticed that while traveling on the airlines with a good amount of stuff the pack gets really thick and hard to shove under the seat. It's worth mentioning because it seems to have a lot of special features/things in each pocket which increase the "thickness" of it when it's empty. I really like this pack though, it's comfortable, the black color looks professional, it has nice mesh pockets on both sides for Nalgene, iPod, cell phone, sunglasses. I really like that. And the mesh in front is awesome too, I always throw an extra clothing layer in there. Also nice having the laptop sleeve in the big pocket. I like this pack a lot.

great pack....

By: Frunkis(1)

i've always bought jansport backpacks ever since grade school....now that i've gone on to a university i knew i needed to upgrade. this was a GREAT buy. I bought the Anenome Green, and I'm very happy with the color, although the light green part is a bit too limey for my taste. a lot of storage space, VERY comfortable to wear and LOOKS even better than the picture. I recommend buying the blue or black one...but if you want to try a color that you don't see usually get the anenome green.
