I'm Used To The North Face High Quality Bags!

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.

I Cant Stand It

I happily used the old recon for probably 10 years amd then decided to get this to replace it. What a mistake. The design of this pack is completely dysfunctional. If you have even a pencil inside the second compartment it almost completely blocks you from putting anything into or getting anything out of the main compartment. If you have something bulky and rigid inside the main compartment you cant put water bottles into the sides, or if you have a water bottle on the side you cant fill the main compartment. Trying to fit a lunch, laptop, and laptop charger into this pack is somehow an infuriating process of squeezing, pushing and pulling. Forget putting a jacket inside. Every time I try and use it for anything more than a laptop bag it drives me insane.

Durability And Reliability

A brand you can count on! NorthFace holds up to the ruggedness of a teenage boy’s lifestyle! Dragged from school to swim practice, the gym and back home, all with no sign of all that it has endured through out the day! Highly recommend!
