REI Co-op Tarn 65 Pack - Kids'

Overall, the quality of this pack is very good with regard to how it's sewn and put together. However, in our case, a zero degree sleeping bag with compression stuff sack made by Hyke & Byke couldn't be put in or removed by my 12-year old son due to the small size of the sleeping bag compartment. Th...

I'm not a fan of this new iteration of the Recon. On the previous recon, I relied on the clips that held the pouch in to clip my hats to it. Also, outer pouch on the previous version was much more versatile. I feel like this new revision makes your gear harder to get to, offers less utility, and off...

While Northface makes a good quality bag this bag is too narrow for use as a book bag for a high school or college student. The opening is small and my son struggles to get more than 3 books in and out of the bag. If looking to just pack your laptop, a jacket and one book for a hiking trip then this...

I ended up returning this because I need more organization. The organizer compartment is smaller/more shallow than I expected. The main compartment is deep and dark and narrow. I expected a more versatile, user-friendly bag.

This may be ok for a laptop and a few small items. It is sturdy. It’s too small for high school or college book bag. Too narrow and barely expands.

Surprisingly this bag doesn’t fit a couple binders, a laptop, and a lunch. The fit is very tight for a middle schoolers needs.

I bought this pack for my son to use for Scouting; his only use of the pack was for an overnight hiking trip with his Troop. Overall, the pack was one of the only kid-sized packs that would fit his frame and the associate at our store in Pittsburgh spent the time to fit him (Thank you!). Because of ...

My first recon bag was a hand me down and it lasted a few years. Loved the first so much i bought my own. I used the second one for 7 years and it’s still in great condition, except it sags a bit more than id like and the rubber inside lining has been “chipping” off for a couple years. So I decided ...

We picked this pack for my smaller statured 8th grade son to use at Philmont and other scout outings. The REI associate in the Greensboro store was very helpful in getting the pack adjusted and making sure it fit properly. The pack performed wonderfully on our 62 mile Philmont trek (35+ lbs. for 10 ...

Great bag, perfect for my needs. Can comfortably carry 16" MBP, 12.9" iPad Pro, cables, dongles, sunglasses, gym shoes, bottle etc. My ONLY gripe, I really do just have one. Is that it doesn't stand up well. It'll slide down or fall over depending on the floor surface even when balanced against a ta...
