North Face Recon Backpack

I was gifted a light weight but durable North Face backpack after my high school graduation (I think it was the Recon type) and it lasted throughout college. I still use it today!

My backpack is older so I can’t speak on what today’s North Face backpack’s are like, but a backpack is a practical graduation/back to school gift. I’d just make sure it has a padded laptop pocket, enough storage space, and the reviews say it can hold a fair amount of textbooks.
