I live in Oakland, but can go to San Francisco, I heard they're cheaper in outlets, but I can't find any.
Answer
The North Face makes a decent pack. But if your looking for a backpacking/hiking pack, the fit is by far more important than the name or logo on it. Take some time, visit a few gear shops and try on several packs. Different packs fit different folks. You can visit the link below to review how to fit/size a pack. It also has links to manufacturer sizing charts. See the " A Guide To Fitting & Sizing Your Backpack" section. That way you don't look like a newbie when you show up at REI ... and maybe you'll know more than the salesperson.

What is the difference between these The North Face Recon backpacks?
Sam
What is the difference between these two? The "Recon" logo is stitched on one but printed on the other. And also a slight difference in the front mesh pocket. Are these different models or something?

Answer
The second one is the newer model.
Check this review on the north face site:
"In 2008 i purchased the Recon backpack and it lasted me a good 2 years until i used it to carry booze to a new years party this year and lost it.
I loved the heck out of that back pack. You can find it under Recon Special Edition for this years line up and it will cost you 130 bucks. To me this is outrageous because i only spent 59.99 on it. So there was no i way was going to buy that same model for 70 more dollars.
Instead i went with the new version of the Recon. It's just as good but a bit smaller. It still has all the same pockets and the 2nd biggest pocket is 2x as deep as it was in the 2008 Recon.
Overall this was a great purchase and i would recommend it to anyone who is looking to spend $100.00 on a backpack."
