I like that my iPad Pro fits in the laptop sleeve. But it’s tight even for that. My work laptop would never fit. So far I’ve used the bag on a flight as my personal item. It held what I needed while wedged into the window seat. There’s basically no room for clothes, so another carry-on or checked bag is required for anything more than a day trip.

I’m only keeping this backpack because it was given to me by my job but it’s super rugged. To the point where I want to open up the backpack and remove the plastic insert. (Might make a video). Once my laptop or tablet goes in. All the other bags become useless. I can basically fit my laptop a notepad and some chargers.

Yeah, it's too small.

It is definitely a "work" or "school" backback to carry a laptop, a notebook, a planner and work accessories. Not for hiking unfortunately.

That's what I use it for, a short day trip. It's good enough to carry one water bottle and some food. I wouldn't even consider it a school or work backpack. It's too small for anything really. If it wasn't free, I wouldn't own it at all.

why can't I find it anywhere? Is it an old backpack or one recently released?

If you search The North Face Recon Backpack it was online before. It was there last year. I did a search on the Northface store and they seem to have replaced it with a different larger version. But they are still using the same name. Actually it's still available. Search: The North Face Fall Line Backpack. It's the 2nd link down in my google search. It's a branded model still available on brand threading websites.

Just got this from work, like you. Those pockets are SO tight that once you put your laptop (I have a MacBook Air - so small and thin) in it, the rest of the pockets become worthless. I really wanted to like it, but for the way I travel, this is a massive downgrade. I like my travel bag compartmentalized and this just doesn’t offer that. I’m not one who is smitten by a brand name. I need function over form and for me, this just isn’t it. To your point, it seems like it’s well constructed and it seems like it would hold up over time.

Yeah, it's too small for many things. It basically fits my water bottle and a few more things. But long term it's mostly useless. It fits the one function of a short day hike. Then you have to use a different back pack for everything else. If it wasn't free, I wouldn't have gotten it.

What other backpacks you own?

I have regular backpacks without across clip straps. Small jansport, big jansport, big HP back pack with a very thick comfort pad. All three have more storage than this backpack. I like using it because of how much you can snuck it to your body but it's just too small for anything more than one day hikes.

Is this backpack waterproof or water resistant?
@channel35hand Жыл бұрын
It doesn't say on the tag, but it's all artificial polyester and nylon so it's water resistant.
