The Recon backpack really lived up to its reputati After considerable research, I recently purchased a North Face recon backpack from Altrec. I wanted a pack that I could take with me on my motorcycle as an alternative to saddlebags. I received my pack within two days of placing my order and was impressed by the overall appearance and quality of the pack. It easily handled all of my gear and fit comfortably and securely even at highway speeds. Altrec had the best price I have seen so far and free shipping.

Great Daypack This is a really good pack, I bought if as a general purpose travel pack. Everything my wife and I may want to take will fit, snorkel gear, extra jacket, towels, books, and room enough for snacks. This will be a fine carry-on, and will fit right under a table in a restaurant. If you are looking for a general purpose shoulder pack - you found it.

Great Weekend Pack!!! I bought this bag on sale to use as a bag for work and some weekend trips but I never thought I would use it for a long 4 day hike. Until my other pack ripped while sliding down a rock wall. This pack held up amazingly through the rain and a few long hikes (2-6 days). I will never buy another bag again.

Good purchase! I just want to say that this bag has met every expectation that I have for a day pack. I had the original North Face Borealis bag that came out four years ago. When it died on me, I could not find any bag that could replace it both in design and functionality. I ended waiting for another year for a bag that would be worth buying.
You will not be disappointed! This bag is nicely designed and is spacious with pockets in the right places. I wish the North Face Logo was a little smaller but that's just me. Otherwise, a perfect buy for those who need a daypack for different things: school, hiking, weekend trips, etc. Buy it!

Perfect I started high school in september and i wanted the perfect schoolbag. I got a swiss army bag- too bulky- a targus bag- to humungous- and 2 jansports- both fell apart- but what i realized at school was that the trend was small north face packs but i did not want anything small because of the large amount of books. I asked for the bag for xmas and i received a Recon. I absolutely love it- it is deceiving- it is small but holds millions of books and then the straps hold the bag in so the remaining space is held in.

This bag will knock the bejeezus out of you! An amazing pack that defies expectation. I filled it with textbooks on the first day of classes and it miraculosly performed extremely well under 25 lbs. of books! It's almost like a magic trick that you can fit a day's worth of books and supplies and it doesn't feel bulky at all. Just buy it, it's an amazing value for such a versatile and durable bag.

Great service and a wonderful product with everything we needed! This is a great pack! It was given to my daughter for R.O.T.C. Not only did it fit the bill for required features, but she could get it in basic black! We couldn't believe how quickly it arrived after our order! Thank you for a job well done!

perfect school pack Excellent pack for books/laptop/whatever else you need, but no exactly designed as a "real" daypack. If your looking for a pack for school/work, this one is great. Not for the trail though.
