Disappointed After Use
I thought I was going to really like this backpack but now that I have used it, the flaws are presenting themself. The biggest one is the off balance of the bag. The smaller zippered front section can hold a decent amount, but as soon as you start to fill it beyond just pens it starts to bulge out and makes the backpack top heavy, thus it falls over. If this section is filled, it partially blocks the front bottom of the bag from being used in the larger back section of the backpack. This leads to the front bottom of the backpack being empty contributing to instability even more. It's a well made backpack and great looking but a non functional design Too bad because I thought I had found a great pack.

Consider adding the hip belt pocket like the Gregory and Osprey, and you will have a winner.

In love with my backpack, very necessary and I loved the color. Very comfortable to carry no matter the weight you put on it has a very good texture and above all it does not bother the shoulders. Recommended 100%

Love This Backpack
This is the cutest backpack ever! I have always had a Recon backpack but wanted something newer for when I start Pharmacy school next year! North Face has always had great quality, and I am never unsatisfied!

Extremely Comfortable, Even Fully Loaded.
Excellent quality, and very comfortable, even when fully loaded. Fits my small frame perfectly. I'm 5'4'' and 105 pounds, so a comfortable backpack for that size is important. Perfect as a carry-on as well.

Great Quality But Not Large Enough For A School Backpack
The backpack is very high quality and stylish. However, it can barely hold my middle schooler's school supplies. On a heavy homework day, she needs to carry things in her arms. The advertised capacity is large, but the overall depth of the backpack just is not large enough, especially if carrying a laptop as that compartment just bulges into the main compartment, taking up space. I do not recommend this as a school backpack.

Great Backpack
The Recon is much better choice than the Borealis. Having the exterior pocket is better than the bungee straps and also, this backpack is better balanced. The Borealis narrows too much at the bottom and ends up being top heavy. Only complaint is how stiff the back panel and shoulder straps are initially. I am thinking these will loosen up over time.

Great Everyday Bakcpack
I purchased this bag after retiring my previous NorthFace backpack. I love the color and great interior organization. It's very comfortable on the pack and a good upgrade from the bag that I retired.
