A favorite of students and day hike enthusiasts this redesigned Recon Backpack from The North Face features a new universal padded sleeve that accommodates most laptop computers and also doubles as a hydration bladder pouch. This design is very similar to other 1850-cubic-inch backpacks made by The North Face but the Recon offers a large front mesh pocket that easily expands to accommodate a cycling helmet making it a superb choice for recreational riders and daily commuters. This backpack also has BackSaver Technology to potentially reduce lower back strain between classes and extended rides. The North Face developed their BackSaver Technology by angling the bottom of the Recon pack to shift the pack weight closer to your back making this daypack ideal for moderate loads with a large hydration bladder or big campus projects involving a stack of reference material. Like other day packs from The North Face the Recon offers superior construction with 840-denier Hypalon® reinforcements built to last through an entire academic career and countless trips back to the home office. The backpanel is laminated with molded channels that actually ventilate instead of those other designs that push clammy perspiration up against your skin all day. The hipbelt also tucks away giving this compact backpack a streamlined profile for overhead bins on trains planes and buses.
