The North Face knows you might have a hard time carrying all the stuff you can pack into the Women222s Recon Backpack, so it designed it with a Backsaver bottom panel that is angled to shift your load closer to your back, reducing back and shoulder strain. Ergonomically-designed, women222s specific shoulder straps and a sternum strap (which also includes a safety whistle) also help to comfortably distribute the weight so you feel a little less like a pack mule carrying a loaded Recon around campus or on the trail.
