I use this backpack for school, it's great for my computer and I can trust that the fabrics won't tear with time. I absolutely love the color choices and it's definitely worth the price. I wouldn't really change much about this product.

Love the color! Love the size! I bought an older version of this bag many years ago, and I like all the changes that have been made to it. It's the perfect size for a carry on bag when I travel.

I really like this backpackit's both stylish and highly functional. The well-designed pockets and straps make organizing my things easy, and despite carrying a lot for school, it never feels too heavy thanks to its supportive design.

I have hypermobility and usually have a hard time finding a comfortable backpack that can carry stuff without giving me pain. I tried even hiking backpacks, and the pain was too much; on the other hand, this backpack allows me to carry everything that I need to go to college, and the color is super pretty. 100% recommended!

I don't like the new recon. One suggestion I have for the backpack is PLEASE PLEASE take out the plastic board in the back of the backpack! It makes the backpack way too stiff and doesn't help the backpack stand up at all..

I love this bag so much. I bring it to work with me everyday, and it is big enough for everything I need for the day, including my lunch. The straps are super comfy and the padding on the back feels great. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

I ordered this backpack for my daily commute and it has been perfect. I was using my husband's fuse box, which was great, but the straps were wider and not as comfortable. I love that this one has narrower straps and a sleeker look. I like the adjustable side pockets and all of the compartments in the front. It has made my commute that much easier and more enjoyable.

I absolutely love this bag. I take it to work everyday and it fits everything I need for the whole day, including my lunch. It is super comfy on my back I will definitely be taking it on hikes with me. I'm only giving 4 stars because the stitching on one of the straps looks a little loose I'm anticipating a rip sooner rather than later.

I bought this to use for work. I am a traveling therapist so I use it to carry all of my notes, files and more. It replaced my older model I've had since freshmen year in college. My old one was in great shape, I just needed a change and wanted a new color.

My daughter wanted a bigger backpack for all her high school needs. This pack is the one. Has lots of room and different compartments to keep her items organized.

Great backpack for my college daughter. She has a bad back and this is the only bag that doesn't bother her back.

I've switched from the old version of the recon backpack to this one but I prefer the old one over this for a couple reasons.
Pro:
1. Love the padding material on the back of the new backpack as the old one had a material that would wear out my clothes due to how abrasive it was.
2. Love the new back zipper pocket for laptops as I can easily access my laptop even though my bag is full.
Con:
1.The height of the backpack is much taller or longer than the previous one and it's hard to place it on my lap since it slides right off as it's longer than my thigh. If the backpack was shorter 2 inches then it would be perfect.
2. The bottom of the women's recon backpack is like an egg shape so it's hard to keep it upright since it's curved. It would be nice if the curve was flatter and the bottom less stiff since it hurts when I place the bag on my lap.
3. The front zipper pocket (not the hidden one) used to go all the way to the bottom of the backpack but this new version only goes halfway which is annoying since it limits what I can put there.
4. Lastly, the capacity of the backpack decreased so significantly.. I used to be able to stuff 8 textbooks no problem but now it fits 4 max.

It has a much better top pocket that is user friendly and not literally top heavy and floppy like other NF backpack models I have owned. Love the color and trim. Now, I just need to keep it this light color clean! I have gotten so many compliments on it! Love it.
