Long time lurker, first time poster here. Luckily monitored the price on camelcamelcamel literally 2 days ago as I was looking for a good bag for uni. The seller is Amazon AU so should be trustworthy. The slightly different North Face Borealis is $149.99 on Amazon as well. Main difference is that the Recon has a mesh pocket at the front instead of the bungee cord system on the Borealis that lets you store larger items. The prices here are only for the Black CW, others don't look like they're for the same price.
Cheapest it's been for a while now, previous prices include:
17/02/2020 - Anaconda - $139.99
20/11/2023 - Amazon - $144
16/04/2025 - Amazon - $167.99
For anyone looking for a new bag for studying, I tried the Fjallraven Kanken and hated it personally though some people might actually like it. It's not good for bringing a big laptop especially because the shoulder straps are noodles. Could be user error but I've been suggested this bag by a couple friends and like what I'm hearing from reviews (and Reddit lol). Happy Bargaining!
It is a good price but how many people buy at full price of $240?
When I was at uni, a $10 bag from Kmart did the trick. lol
