The North Face: Recon Laptop Backpack - 75 Reviews

Janet - 2007-12-04
good roomy pack, big enough for all my stuff. but uncomfortable! I was looking for a backpack that would be able to fit my school textbooks, binders, AND my laptop. A friend recommended the recon so I tried it out. It fits my laptop just perfectly. If it was a bigger laptop it definitely wouldn't have fit. the recon was big enough to fit my school text books and binders, my DELL Inspiron 1521 Notebook (15.4 inch) and even a tiny purse on top of everything. The recon was great for that purpose, but because I'm a small girl, it looks a bit awkward on me. The back of the bag is wide and fits awkwardly to me and again, that is probably because I'm a girl and have more of a smaller back. This book bag is definitely made to fit males rather than females. The book bag is as big as me, maybe even bigger! and the shoulders hurt in the beginning because it had no padding. The shoulder straps are a tad bigger than my shoulders. But Im getting used to them now. Because i was looking for a book bag that would be perfect for school, and partly because I was getting tired to look for a better book bag, I decided to keep it and I am satisfied with my decision. the only con is the shoulder straps. I wish there was more padding on the shoulders. the shoulder straps are stiff and they hurt!

great all around pack; school, travel & hiking This is a perfect pack for heavy book loads. Great stability and comfort. I did not research this purchase as usual but relied on North Face quality. This product surpassed my expectations. I believe the quality of construction and detail, this pack will last through the last 3 years of heavy high school book loads without overstressing my students back.
