as a high school student, i needed a backpack that could carry all of my binders, books, clothes, and soccer gear and the occasional lunch bag. i did tons of research on finding a durable, heavy duty, lightweight backpack that was waterproof and could substain living in the northwest enviorment.i came up with the north face recon daypack. problem was, it was about $90.00 at the time. i knew my parents would never spend $90 on a backpack when you can just go to fred meyer and buy a jansport for $20. but then i found sunny sports and they had the best price by far. i definately recommend using sunny sports for all your camping gear. however, when it comes to the backpack i was pretty impressed. it definately seemed high quality. i like how you can adjust the straps on the side to make the daypack seem tighter and its very convienent for biking to school becase you can adjust it well to fit your back to ease less pressure off your back. i've had my backpack for over a year, and now that i'm taking more advanced and AP level classes i do wish i had more room in my backpack to store things. i've taken my daypack hiking with me and it works wonderful. the stitching as come a bit loose on the shoulder strap but nothing a good sewing machine can't fix. all in all i would recommend this backpack not because its a name brand but because its a high quality backpack and it met my standards
