bag feels well made, I really like the peace of mind North Face offers with their warranty. I have been a loyal customer for decades now since they treat the customer fairly.

Great packbag! wish they made a smaller version, as it is too big to fit under the seat on an airplane

My husband loves the color of this backpack and all of the pockets that he can store things in. He carries his for work and for play. He has plenty of loops to clip some of his extras on, loves the way the bag holds its shape and the design is tough as nails. He is not gentle on his gear so this will last him a long time! Absolutely recommend!

I have the older version using it for international travel, as well as local use. After some 10 to 15 years, I will order the newer one.

I use this backpack daily for college. It is so comfortable on my back and it first everything so easily. I have the brown color and its beautiful and I do not see any backpack like it. Definitely worth it and I am thinking about getting the black color of it.

I use the backpack for both work and non-work days. The side bottle pockets can easily hold a large water bottle. I love the 4 pocket sections for a small iPad or laptop, sunglasses, wallet, notepad, pens, etc. On more casual days, I can use it for hiking and the chest strap works well to help with the heavier load if necessary. All around, a solid project that gets a great deal of use.

The only thing I would change about this backpack is the iPad pocket size. I wish it fit my full size iPad instead of just a mini. Otherwise I really love this backpack. It fits everything else I need, it looks very sleek, and it has a very high quality feel to it. It is a little on the expensive side unless you can get it during a sale like I did but as long as it holds up good I believe it was well worth it.

Perfect Upgrade
By Samuel
I recently received this item and I'm loving it so far! I bought it to replace a Surge I've had since 2013, and it's been a great replacement. It is slightly smaller than my Surge was, which is perfect for my current needs.
This Pack Works !
By Charles
This RECON pack is used for tours by a person of advanced years. Works great to store all the items, including two cameras and all associated accessories, cold and/or rain gear, collapsible cane, extra meds, first aid kit, snacks, water and all the other items that 79 years of experience considers necessary for wandering about both new and familiar places in the world. Not only does it have ample room for all those things, it's also comfortable to carry. Can't think of anything I would change...
