Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

It a very high quality backpack and fits very nicely in my locker. This backpack has very good pocket for pens pencils and other little items. I would highly recommend it because of the outside pocket it fits books planners and anything else you wouldn't want in your backpack. I will definitely buy this again. The grey is a bit darker then it is online almost closer to black but I was very pleased with the grey almost black.

I love the color. Not too trendy but still cute and looks great. I like the women's cut and how it fits on my small figure. It's roomy but not bulky.

Awesome bag,lots of compartments for organization. My daughter loves and only wants northface book bags from now on. The color is Awesome to!!!!

I'm a college student and this backpack is great! Lightweight, lots of capacity, and versatile. Nice styling for a female.

Very excited about this bag! I own the Borealis backpack and it has held up great but I was unhappy with how compact it is for the purpose of a school bag, so this bag is better suited for my spacial needs. I love the front pocket as well as the straps I feel that they are less restrictive when zipping and unzipping the bag. The second pocket is less restricted than my current bag because there isn't the wire in the front. I'd say my only concern is the straps which the way they are attached seems faulty like they may rip at some point, I think the straps on the borealis bag I own is sturdier and well constructed. All in all the north face backpacks overall are durable and reliable so I would recommend.

Bought this backpack for my kid for school! I love it and she loves it! Extra props to North Face for the added whistle! She hasn't used it yet but is pretty excited to. Seems really durable and I hope it will last for several years! Definitely recommend!

I use this product for school. Maximum storage found in only one of the compartments. (The biggest pocket in the back.) The straps occasionally get in the way and in previous versions of this bag there was easy ways to hide those annoying straps. Throughout the day I carry five college textbooks and two binders and I wish I could get all of those items into the bag. Even with two binders and a couple textbooks in my bag it feels the same as last year when I had a different backpack and only carried one binder! While I can't fit all the textbooks into the bag there are many pockets inside the smaller pocket so everything has it's own place. I also love the fact that even though I pack my bag full I can easily pull the straps and make the bag seem smaller. All of the materials used in the making of this bag make it really comfortable and highly satisfying. I love the fleece pockets and it really adds to the protection the bag gives fragile items such as devices or glasses. I wish there was a big fleece pocket separate from the last pocket for a computer. I love the fact that I can fit my 15" laptop in it when I need to. I really love it and don't regret buying it. If I could I would buy another one for my mother since she has back problems her work load is quite heavy. She occasionally uses it for work and it eases the load on her back. I really do hope to buy this again for my mother when holiday comes around because I know she'd love it too! I love using my North Face Recon backpack to help me with the heavy loads I carry around campus.

super pretty but padding is a little weird. plenty of spce for school!

I use this for school! I love that it has a pocket for my computer and plenty of space for things that I need to carry around with me to the library, class, etc. I also love using it for travel and adventuring while traveling. It's perfect!

Fits my laptop and books comfortably

My son totally loves this backpack! It is comfortable, and large enough for all his books and laptop. North Face products last for a long time!

Love this book bag! Great for school!

i use this for school and when i go to a friends! love it!!

I am using this for school. It is comfortable and is working well for what I need

The 15 inch laptop sleeve is perfect for electronics!

I ordered this backpack for work and school, I carry a laptop daily to and from work. The backpack is very well made with many great pockets, and I liked the colors. The laptop sleeve however was a bit too narrow, and it was a struggle to fit my lightweight HP laptop into the sleeve. So I'm on the hunt for a different backpack that will be easier to load and unload my laptop from. Otherwise this is a great bag!

This was a nice backpack. However, I did return it because I did not think it would be large enough for me. However, I'm sure if would be sufficient for many other college students. I just know I will be carrying a very large amount of books and binders. It was very good quality though, very well made.. It is not that lightweight, but that's because it is made of durable material. Also, it has great padding.

I bought this backpack because I am heading off to college in August. So far, it has provided the space and comfort that I have needed for classes. If you tend to carry more things, I would recommend getting one of their larger backpacks. For my personal purposes, this backpack style is well suited. Both my sister and I have purchased this style backpack for college.

I love this backpack so much! It is very large and I like that it has a laptop sleeve to store my computer. The only con i would say is that the straps go up a little high which makes it a little more uncomfortable. But other than that it is great quality and perfect for school.
