northface backpacks vol. Back to school

[ihatemondayz]

been needing a backpack and was wondering whats your thoughts on north face backpacks? reviews? pros and cons?

which styles do you guys have?

 

[zapatohead408]

Ive had my recon for a few years now, very nice backpack gets the job done, very durable.

I recommend it.

 

[Nawzlew]

Recon ftw. Versatile as ****.

 

[late registrant]

yup, i have a recon, too. i like the jester as well. they're good, sturdy, spacious backpacks, and they have a lifetime warranty so that should have you sold off the bat.

Ive had maybe 5 northface bags and the one i liked the most was the recon. Im actually looking for a new bag too

Everyone will recommend the Recon or the Jester...myself included ...maybe a couple people will say Jansport, but I just don't find them to be as sturdy/durable

i bought the Surge in black around 2006/2007.

I still use it to this day and has been through SO much abuse

and it has a built in rape whistle

I've heard nothing but good things about em but I can't justify $99 for a backpack.

I've been using a Jordan one I bought for $30 from TJ Maxx 2 years ago...been on countless NY trips and still holds up.

my OG one was on sale, forgot the model but it wasn't that high. like $60.

traded my cousin mine for the Sweeper I have now, been holding up since 07. no visible signs of damage anywhere.

What do you guys use your backpack for anyways? I need one because I'm in school

mondaynightraw? is that you?

any who make this the official backpack thread vol. back to school

I have a chrome messenger bag (metropolis) I use it for cycling around the town n I can fit a lot in there (about five gallons) I'm going to try to post pics from my phone

 

[hotttshot34]

I've had my NF backpack for 3 years going on. I def recommend.

 

[ootherocoo]

Recon!

I've had mine for 7 years, and still going strong.  I use it as my travel backpack.

 

[jtmatic]

I want a Northface Supreme backpack but I'm skeptical 'cause the last one I bought ripped right below the zipper all the way around. Used it for 4+ years though.

*Looks into the Recon

 

[finnns2003]

Damn, still have my Recon from like '04 or '05. Except for a food stain, good as new and still use it for work.

No I'm not that dude

Recon seems to be everyones favorite. Can't go wrong if everyone agrees.

I happened to be in nordstrom and saw the northface borealis and tried it on. It was the most comfortable backpack I've ever had

I guess I'm in the minority and rock with Dakine

 

[onewearz]
