Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I ordered the grey/orange new Recon to replace my backpack for college, and I love it! The new design is extremely comfortable and intuitive. The pocket placements are perfect and I know I will utilize them all. Definitely an improvement from my last school backpack!

I got this backpack for college, and it has been perfect for every need. It has alot of space to pit binders in and a place for your computer. I would recommend this backpack to anyone.

Love this backpack....perfect for my new school!

I am a college student and I can honestly fit all of my books, laptop, paper, etc in here without ruining anything.

I just use this project for a school book bag. I had a recon before and went back to buy another one because I loved it so much. It looks great and minimalizes heavy loads making it comfortable and fashionable. I would recommend this bag to anybody from the avid outdoorsman to an average student.

I bought the women's recon backpack for my freshman daughter. She absolutely loves the style, comfort, and versatility this pack has to offer. There is a special compartment for everything--laptop, notebooks, cell phone, pens/pencils, etc.

I love how the backpack is extremely durable and very comfortable when there is a lot of things in it and when having to walk long distances.

I bought this for use while I'm on campus and it's perfect for that. I love the suspended laptop sleeve so my laptop doesn't hit the bottom. There are pocket for anything and everything. Very spacious. Great buy.

Has the perfect amount of room!!! Enough room for: a 14" laptop, a 1in binder 4 notebooks with 70 pages each, two water bottles, a tablet, school supplies(pencils,pens,highlighters ect.) and a phone and various other smaller things!! Also, unlike any other backpack I have had it doesn't hurt my back! I love it and would totally make the same choice if I had to make it again! It works well for me because it has enough room to pack for my busy schedule! I have all meals and everything I need for my 16 hour days!

I use this backpack for school and is great on my back when carrying supplies

Holds lots of stuff and is very well built. Plus, my daughter loves the colors!

Well made and excellent design

I love this backpack! Perfect size for overseas carry-on - understated outward appearance with a feminine touch, enough organizational pockets without getting crazy. I really like the outside front pocket for easy access items.

This is a great backpack for a High School student.

This product is great! I ordered it for school this year and it has just the right amount of space in it, a place for my laptop, notebooks and utensils. My sister also has the same model and has for 3 years and it's still in great condition.

I got this backpack as a gift from my husband for my return to school. I had previously been using his North Face Cornis for men; this new womens backpack design is such a difference in fit for my body. The straps feel so much better packing around heavy books. Highly recommend. Your back will thank you.

Bought it for my daughter for school. So far so good.

I bought 2 backpacks for my girls. One is in 8th grade and the other is a sophomore. There is so much room in the backpacks, plus so many places to put their items. This is our first time getting backpacks at Northface, but I have heard nothing but good things.

Bought this for my son for school. He loves it! Great purchase!

My 7th grader picked this one out for school. Great back support and lots of room!

This bag have great back support. That is very important to me because my job requires me to carry alot of bags

Great for college student. Has pocket for computer. Great features.

My daughter carries it to school everyday just what she needed.

I use my recon North Face for college, I absolutely love it! It is so durable and I love that it has a laptop pocket, it's much more convenient than having to carry a case around. I also love the comfort that it comes with, so if you have a lot of books like me your back won't hurt as bad. I love all the colors but I especially love the teal one I bought. I would defiantly recommend this bookbag for someone who is looking for a good one to use!

My 14 year old 8th grader ordered this bag because he lost out on Boraleaus bag my 12 year old ordered (didn't want the same bag). He's actually glad he ordered it. It looks cooler in person. He likes the exterior pocket and the inside had a nicer layout if you watch the video. He likes the rounded bottom because it will hold more stuff. (our school dishes out the homework). It's really a nice, heavyweight material and is so much nicer than previous name brand bags he's had. This should last him several years as long as it stays in style and North Face is great about that. Definitely worth the price and Zappos was fab about the overnight delivery as usual.
