  • Perfect
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Navy/Tnf Black
I liked the quality of this backpack, zippers and pockets are good. The size is just right for a student.

  • Overall decent backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Navy/Tnf Black
I like how this looks and it has a good deal of useful organization. Two external water bottle pouches that don't dip too much into the main compartment. The back compartment is large enough for a water bladder or a computer along with other admin items. I like that I can use it for a hike and then turn around and use it for work. Its just one compartment without separate organization for a computer, iPad...etc, but I like that better as it does not take up a lot of room. Note that there is not a lot of padding under it so a computer will bang against the floor if you drop it. The main compartment is just a big dump pouch. The main problem with this pack is in this compartment. The admin compartment, when full, will dip significantly into this large area and take up a lot of room. This is a problem with the pack and the main reason why I dropped it to four stars. That admin area should not take up room into the main space. The admin pouch has enough organization while also allowing you to see what is in it. The last compartment is a big fleece-like lined space. Its a big space for sunglasses and is strange how the zipper is half way through it so its not a good compartment to open while it is standing up. Lastly, the dump pouch is really useful to store some quick items you need. I just wish it was not as see through so you are now showing off what is stashed in it. Padding on the back and straps are OK. All in all, its a decent backpack that could use a few tweaks to get it into the five star category. ... show more

  • Quality backpack, worth the money
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Navy/Tnf Black
I used my old North Face Slingshot backpack for nearly 18 years, so it was time to upgrade. I always liked the design of the Recon and chose to purchase this backpack. I've never seen the navy backpack in person, but since it's my favorite color, I pulled the trigger. When I received it, I was surprised by how nice and sleek it looked. All the compartments were thoughtfully designed and are practical. The soft material they used for the interior of the front compartment is perfect for phones, glasses, and other things you want to keep safe. The backpack was bigger than expected, and is more than adequate to carry my everyday work items. The straps are comfortable and sturdy. The external fleece-lined pocket is a huge upgrade from my old Slingshot strings that could only carry clothes. I don't use the buckle straps, so it does look a little sloppy at times. However, you can adjust them so they're not in your way. The bottom of the backpack looks durable and it's very unlikely any holes will form in the future. Since my old backpack lasted so long, I'm confident this one will last longer. Overall, I think it's a quality backpack and I'm getting more than I paid for. ... show more

My son had this backpack since 2018 and now it is so old and I got him a new backpack with different color. He loved this dark blue and liked the new style. It is very comfortable, great quality, beautiful color, reasonably weight and perfect size for school and travel.
