The North Face Recon Backpack

This backpack is easy on the pocket and will help keep you organized will all of the extra pockets. You can wear the North Face Recon Backpack like a pack or carry it by the top carry handle, it's up to you. You can bring two water bottles along for the ride since there are two mesh pockets on the sides so you won't be running out of water. There is a big padded pocket for your laptop and padded shoulder straps for extra comfort when your bag is a bit on the heavy side.

The North Face Crank 25 Pack

This is the perfect pack for those treacherous climbs. The North Face Crank 25 pack has a 3-liter bladder that will keep you hydrated all day. It also has 5 extra pockets for anything else you might need for your trip. The padded hipbelt gives you some added comfort. My favorite feature on this one is the huge drop pocket where you can stash your helmet for those times you don't need it.
