Why We Like The Recon Backpack

Now with lighter materials, increased durability, and an endorsement from the American Chiropractic Association, the Recon is our go-to for day-to-day commutes and lunchtime treks. With enough pockets for type-A organization and daisy chains for lashing on last-minute extras, this backpack totes all our needs from work to play.

Backpacking in style

I bought this as a gift to my husband and he absolutely loved it! Very spacious and the material seams heavy duty. It should last him a long time.

I would definitely buy it again

I use the backpack everyday. I mainly use it for travel and to carry my everyday items. The backpack has plenty of space. It has a laptop compartment and a soft lined Swing compartment in the front for sunglasses / reading glasses. I much rather have the mesh lining for the water bottles on either side. Overall, the backpack is perfect for what I need it for
