I would by this backpack again if I need one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's everything I was hoping for. Just a little larger than my other North Face backpack and I really like the color.

I would buy the product again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very spacious. I wish it came in the XS duffel since I'm only using this bag for my gym class.

Very disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm confused by all these good reviews. Did anyone own an older version of this backpack? Vastly superior. The changes North Face made to this backpack are not good at all. The front pouch is way too shallow. Please bring back old design North Face!

I would buy again but another color.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good quality but could benefit from some better colors. Also, seems like it will last a long time.

My favorite backpack ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had other variants of the Recon and I love this design. I love the mesh pocket front to throw stuff in quickly - this version's mesh pocket feels the most secure yet! Lots of pockets, padding and space, while remaining sleek. This is my favorite backpack.
