"awesome backpack, sleeve not really padded" - Review of The North Face Recon Backpack - 1850 cu in
The North Face Recon II is a great backpack for school use with a laptop. The sleeve isn't really well padded and the Jansport laptop sleeve fits perfectly in it to add more protection.
However, the bag is just gorgeous and finely crafted. The straps are comfortable and all the hoopla going on in the pockets are great for storing little items such as USB memory keys and such.
One gripe is that when I have my laptop in the Jansport laptop sleeve inside my Recon II, I don't seem to have much space to put a lot of books. I can put about 2 textbooks max in there. That's because I have a lot of stuff in the pockets too, such as a mouse and power adapter.
Overall the North Face Recon II is a great buy, I would recommend it to anyone.
