, it has become my go-to companion
I recently purchased recon backpack from North Face, and it has exceeded my expectations in both daily use and outdoor activities. The design is sleek yet functional, making it perfect for city commutes for daily use with laptops & office gears and also perfect for weekend hikes. It can withstand light rain, not tested for outdoor activities in heavy rain. The multiple pockets help keep everything organized. I particularly appreciate the side pockets for water bottles, which are easily accessible while on the go. Comfort is a standout feature; the padded shoulder straps and breathable back panel make it easy to carry, even during longer outings. The backpack also has adjustable straps, allowing for a customized fit. Overall, this backpack is a fantastic blend of style, comfort, and practicality. Whether I'm navigating city streets or exploring nature, it has become my go-to companion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable daily and outdoor backpack!

This is the best quality known for adventures
I use this backpack for school and the gym even hiking when i get the chance. This is the most versitile backpack i have ever purchased which happens to be my second one the first one i had lasted me 4 years. Due to the many adventures my first northernface backpack when through the quality was amazing unfortunately the left arm strapped ripped but it was the best purchase i ever made.

so far so good
had the previous version for 5 years. the mesh on the side pockets ripped. this version has stronger side mesh pockets. it's able to stand up a little better, which is nice. but not sure about the front mesh, feels like it won't hold up for the long-haul.

Versatile and Comfortable Backpack for Daily Use
I've been using the Recon Backpack for my daily commute and it's been fantastic. The storage capacity is great, with plenty of compartments for organizing my laptop, books, and accessories. The shoulder straps are well-padded, making it comfortable to carry for long periods. One thing that could be improved is the water resistance-it holds up fine in light rain, but I'd prefer more protection in heavier downpours.

Fantastic backpack!
I enjoy all the silly pockets it has to offer. I will say, there are a lot of straps so if you go hiking and such, it would be helpful. I use it for college, and it's not heavy at all. Only thing is that it does tip over; which is fine. On the zippers, it has holes so you can put charms. I put my hair clips so it's easier to get.
