Why We Like The Recon 30L Backpack
The trip to campus is an adventure all on its own, so we travel with the Recon 30L Backpack in tow. This one massive pack has enough space to get us from 7:30 economics to our dreaded night class without taking a trip back to the car. Not only is the main compartment large enough for textbooks, snacks, a sweatshirt, and all our chargers, but there's also a separate stash made just for keeping our computer safe and sound. Still doesn't sound like enough space? Pockets and daisy chains cover the outside of the pack, so nothing gets left behind.

Work Bag
I use the backpack as my work bag. It's great; holds a lot, padded straps, many different pockets. I love organization. The quality seems good as well, we will see how it holds up over time.

Love this backpack!
Love my new backpack! Right now I'm using it to hold everything I need to go on outings with my granddaughter. Diapers, change of clothes, and snacks easily fit in one compartment. My keys, wallet, etc., fit in other compartments. It's nicely designed, and soon I will be using it on airplane trips.

The updated Recon is disapointing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Recon backpack is my favorite backpack. I have used on hundreds of trips, both for business and for pleasure. I have written about it and recommended it to everyone. Out of curiosity, I ordered the updated version to test it out and some of my favorite features of the Recon have been replaced. The side pockets are considerably smaller, I can fit a thigh-length packable down coat in the old Recon pockets. The front pocket no longer has the ability to cinch down when packed which is such a nice feature. The straps that cinch the sides and front pocket not only help keep whatever you have packed in the front pocket in, but I was able to use those clipped straps to secure my water bottle when out and about, keeping it in my bag when jostled about. The back padding has been significantly reduced, which is a great feature of the regional Recon. I also preferred the top pocket on the old Recon tho it could have been slightly larger. That's where I keep my essentials on a flight, and it's a quick stash pocket for my passport and wallet when moving through the airport. The new pocket is nice in its depth but less handy, especially if you are actually using the front stretchy pocket as I do, typically for a light jacket or two. The new front pocket also looks like it would stretch out easily and without the cinching feature with the straps will just look messy and not be functional after a short period. It would also be great if marketing did a better job of showing all of the pockets, inside and out, and how they are used on all backpacks; it would be easier to make decisions. I do like the water-resistant feature of the updated Recon (I tested the Luxe), but not enough to compensate for the other features that went away. I'll keep an eye out for the next version, and I'm glad my original Recon has a lot of life left in it. Sadly I can't recommend the new version on my website.
