Great size easy for travel very strong

College student, and love this backpack. Love the versatility and all the pockets to keep everything organized.

I use it for college, looks great, pretty comfortable to wear. Good materials. I wish there was a little more compartment space in the main zipper pocket for sorting, but other than that it's great.

This backpack is made really well. It holds everything my daughter needs, She uses it for high school and she loves it!

Great quality, size, and color! Useful for not just hiking, but for school

Good pack. Big.

The backpack is used daily for school. It could be a tad bigger.

Perfect! Multiple pockets that fit my needs exactly!

Everyday go to for important possessions. Laptop, Glasses, cell phone, extra cash and wallet . . I felt the top zippered area under the logo North face was too shallow. The zippered pockets designed to hold valuable items should have depth and less girth when opening the zipper. this would prevent too much exposure for things in case they are placed in a hurried or haphazard manner. Other wise very nice. Paula F.

I got this for my daughter to start 8th grade. It has great space and looks really good!

Backpack is a nice size but I don't like the hard back. It's uncomfortable and I will probably not use the back pack as much as I would have without it! It also prevents me from using it as a carry on

Perfect backpack for school.

My son Is happy with the color and the style. It has a compartment for everything. I know this will last him through 3 years of middle school and beyond.

I love the different compartments this bag has, but I do wish it would expand to be wider. I often struggle to fit my lunchbox if I have a change of clothes or anything else in there. I really prefer ridiculously capacious bag, but this one does the trick just fine. Plus it's so cutie.

TNF Recon 30L One of the most beloved backpacks in the collection have had previous ones over the years, I was amazed how this backpack just getting better and better! I believe this is the 2022 2023 Recon. i'm very happy with the backpack that's why I purchased again it's user-friendly, and there's pockets everywhere if you need to access items quickly but I am amazed with this model is the bottom is it a waterproof almost like a pleather? It works. This is a great 30 L backpack in my opinion can't go wrong with a price. the North face, recon, a great backpack and an asset.

Bought it for my son. Product is as expected. The only reason I gave it a 4 stars is because the strap is not straight and the stitching looks a little uneven but otherwise is okay.

got it for my first day of high school. already have it packed up and ready to go.

Son loves this new backpack. Has pockets for all his gear.

Great for high school

Bought this for our son. He loves it!

Outside central nylon cord holder is very nice for extra coats, layers, etc., and the water bottle holders are more ergonomic and better looking than other brand models. Appreciated the organized space coming from big and spacious bags prior. Soft front pocket is good for electronics and small items you do not want to get damaged, while the soft laptop pocket has enough room for both a laptop and an iPad. Perhaps their Surge model has more space in terms of how both backpacks 28L capacity is apportioned, but I found (as a student) it was sometimes difficult on rare occasions to transport everything I needed that was on the bulkier side of classroom and work materials. Worked great 96% of the time, and if you're in a casual work environment, it would work just fine. Big, large, unsupported bags which can hold stuff at a risk of being damaged can definitely do the job just as well as this backpack, but the comfort, quality, and craftsmanship of a bag such as this over, say, the Nike Brasilia/ Sportswear RPM is significant. Easy to bike with. 5 stars primarily for comfort.

I bought this primarily for a general purpose bag, I ended up taking it with me to cut trails in the bush and it held everything I needfor a full day outdoors
