Quality Decline
I am replacing my Recon from abt 20 years ago. This bag is worse quality in many ways. - fabric is cheaper, thinner - straps and back have less padding - stitching and zippers not as good

Would buy again
Really good bag, I've had it for about 4 years. I use it for school which it works great for. Used it for some roadtrips, which it was a little small for some but still worth it. No big tears or damage other that a small hole in the front mesh pocket. Would recommend and would buy again.

Excellent backpack, versatile and hard wearing
I requested this as a gift a few years back after doing a lot of research into various backpacks and I have not been disappointed. I primarily use it as my bag to and fro work/my GHB but have also used it while traveling as my personal item. The big win for me was its water bottle sleeves on the side hold a 32 oz Nalgene PERFECTLY with enough stretch to accomodate it but little enough to hold it snuggly. Also the waterbottle sleeves coming up as high as they do is clutch, my last backpack had a short little bottle cubby and my Nalgene was constantly tipping out. Love the zipper pulls (a lot, please don't change them), love the sternum strap, the materials have held up well over 3 years of me lugging it back and forth 5 days a week, the laptop sleeve is very nice if you need one, the main compartment is spacious and holds a surprising amount of stuff, and the Recon is just very comfortable to wear and carry. The handle at the top of the bag has held up well and is comfortable to grab (small things build to big satisfaction). About my only critique (if you want to call it that) is the secondary compartment with all the little compartments for pens, pocket knife, keys, sunglasses, slash whatever floats your boat to put in them is a bit busy for my taste. I'd prefer a streamlined compartment with maybe one or two zippered compartments or nooks, but that's just personal preference.

I would like to buy it again.
I use it to go to work now; however, I intend to use it for other occasions. I really like the color, style, look, and material. I think it could be lighter.

TNF borealis
I love this bag so much. I have one for work and when I use for my personal, I love the bungee cords. It's a perfect 28 L. The material is awesome. It feels like it's water resistant that waterproof which is fine. The cupholders are great and the bungees do his job so if you're looking for not too big that's too small solid 28 L and you're willing to spend a little bit more money check out the borealis you won't be sorry !
