I Would Definitely Buy The Recon Backpack Again.

I bought this backpack for my grandson to replace the north face pack he has used the last 6 years. It has all the features he wanted and he loves it!

I Would Buy This Backpack Again.

Lots of room, works perfect for my daughter at school.

It's A Great Back Pack But Its Heavy To Begin With

I use this back for travel, its a great backpack don't get me wrong. I love the mesh front (you can throw a hoodie or light packable jacket in there), laptop goes in the main area, the front I can stash passports and stuff but the one major flaw is that while it holds a lot along with a carry on bag, it already weights 2pounds top that with a macbook air, hoodie, some cords, a book, and its so heavy! I wish TNF could make this pack overall lighter in weight it would help a lot with packing it to its capacity, who wants to lug around 5 pounds+ with hardly any items in it.
