THE NORTH FACE Vault Everyday Laptop Backpack, Utility Brown Camo Texture Print/New Taupe Green, One Size

I got this backpack in 6th grade and am just now buying a new one (Because I was another color) as a freshman in college. It's been a fantastic travel, school, and overall everything fantastic backpack. It fits perfectly under the seat in the airplane, has a big water bottle holder and a laptop sleeve built-in. It's amazing for its price.

The vault is a great no nonsense backpack! I love the simplicity of it! It will get you from point A to Point B! It's Not a Surge or a Router! For the price point no complaints here!

I've used this consistently for sports, dance, and school every year for 10 years. This thing holds up.

I used this bag for school and overall it's a fantastic bag lasted me for almost two years and is super great, but is VERY small on the inside. I can barley fit two binders in here, I can't fit a lunch or anything, I do not recommend this bag if you are planning to use it for school. ALSO when full looks very funky.

I would like the space of the organizer pocket to be complete and not half since this generates that not many things fit and lose functionality and I would also like them to add a belt at the bottom with those two things, it would be the perfect backpack

I've had this backpack for over a year now. Definitely not waterproof and smaller in size but it's been adaptive to many parts of my life and intuitive in use.

I really wanted to love this backpack, but after using it for school for two months, the inside lining ripped from the seam. :(

Like the reviewer above me, my strap broke, but only after a month! I was on my way to work with a laptop, cell phone and not much else and it just broke. I thought North face products were reliable, but this is very disappointing. And since I didnt' buy it at north face I can't bring it back to a north face store to have it serviced. Instead I have to ship it back at my expense.

I bought this backpack for college (from Dicks sporting goods) and it broke after barely 6 months of use. I never had more than a computer, water bottle, binder, and a few small things in it. Never more than 3-5 pounds. The strap broke and fixing this issue has been incredibly difficult and costly. It's not worth it. I expected much better quality from the North Face. Also the front pocket design isn't great. Causes the bay to tip over a lot and it's really annoying.

I purchased the Recon backpack for my son for 7th grade. It lasted about 3 months, but then the strap completely tore off. Tried to get it repaired by North Face since they say they have a 1-year warranty. However, the fine print is North Face doesn't provided shipping nor do they provided return tracking numbers. Everything is based on printing a form and you may or may not get the item repaired. Bottom line is this backpack most likely won't last a year for anyone and North Face won't stand behind the product, so I don't recommend this one.
