[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used my backpack recently. Works great. Lots of space but not too bulky. Perfect size for what I need.

My favorite backpack ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had other variants of the Recon and I love this design. I love the mesh pocket front to throw stuff in quickly - this version's mesh pocket feels the most secure yet! Lots of pockets, padding and space, while remaining sleek. This is my favorite backpack.

I would buy this product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Use it daily for work and going to the gym. Use it for travel as well. Love the storage for sunglasses, and loads of pockets to keep things dry. Only downside was it felt like it is smaller then 30 liters capacity. You might have to really shove stuff in to get to 30 liters. Overall id but again... Better than some competitors bags!!

This is a so so laptop backpack. I have had better ones.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The main pocket where the laptop fits in is a little too tight. Would like more room to be able to fit a notebook next to it. Also, the next larger pocket has a very narrow throat opening due to the smaller pocket in front of it. This prevents you from getting larger items through the opening. Once you get past the opening, it is ok, The smaller pocket in front of it needs to be designed differently and be a little larger.
