Great Backpack For College

I bought the Recon Backpack for my son, and he loves it. It has plenty of space for a laptop, books, and daily essentials, with great organization to keep everything easy to find. The padded straps and breathable back panel make it comfortable to carry all day, even when it's full. It's very durable, holds up well in bad weather, and is perfect for everyday college use. Highly recommend.

Love It! Love

Love it! Love the colors! The zippers are smooth and sturdy. You can tell it's a tough bag for all seasons! The only issue I have with it is that I would have liked to see the pockets (for pens and little accessories) to open deeper to the bottom instead of halfway point like how the older Recon backpacks were designed. Overall, a great backpack!

Great Upgrade With A Major Flaw

This is a great update to a classic pack with one major flaw. I like the new materials and the layout works well enough. I am really unhappy it doesn't have at least one strap with a buckle so I can easily attach bulky items like jackets/sweatshirts. I coach soccer and like to be able to clip dirty shoes to the outside of the pack with a strap. Other than that I am very happy.
