Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I bought this backbag for college. It's comfortable, has great capacity, and fits my laptop.

Overall, it's a very sturdy backpack and is great for students. Has a comfortable laptop compartment, large space for books, smaller pockets for writing utensils and school supplies, etc. Totally worth it!

Love how padded it is to protect my laptop. Would recommend for any college student

I use it for college but it's great for camping or when I stay over at somone else's house. even to play sports I take this with me

Couldn't be happier with this pack -- looks good, comfortable, not bulky but has great capacity. I use it mostly when cycling to work or recreationally. It can hold a 15" laptop and a growler at the same time, easily, with room to spare.

Running around campus, it helps to have a backpack that has such good support.

I use the product while going to my classes. However, it took about a week and half before I found the perfect adjustments that fit my back. My back was in emense pain before I broke the back stabilizer in.

I would use this product for school because it offers great space for books and organized pockets for other things.

I'm going to use it in college. My friend has a North Face backpack and she loved it. So I figured, why not buy my own!?

I use the backpack for school and it has plenty of space for several books, a laptop, and supplies. Also great for travel!

I use this backpack for traveling and also for school. Fits everything very well!! Special compartment for my laptop, and the many small pockets inside are very useful for everything I need to store. Organization is key!!

I ordered this backpack in the hydro green/ snow cone red and was very disappointed by the actual color. It is more of a dark blue and grey in person. So if you're expecting a pretty teal color, don't. However, the backpack is very good quality and I will order one in a different color.

I bought this backpack at the beginning of the school year and take public transportation every day to school. I have also taken many trips with this backpack, and it's able to fit a week's worth of clothes for when I want to pack light. Also, the front drop pocket is super useful for small things, like a book or a pencil case -- nothing has ever fallen out on me. Despite the wear and tear of traveling and commuting, my backpack still looks as new as the day I bought it! Although a bit heavy, the durability of the bag and capacity to hold all of my textbooks every day have won me over completely.

The pack pack that I bought for my college son was even better than expected. This will last him the duration of college. Way to Go!

I bought this for my daughter who is beginning College in the fall. She loves the style and the fact that she can carry large loads. The laptop sleeve is a great addition.

I like that there is a place for my computer and my iPad.

Love all the pockets! Haven't started school yet but it will be great for all my supplies in vet school!

Absolutely an amazing bag. I had a 22L bag that I'd been using for school. The problem with that bag was that it was too small, didn't have enough compartments, there weren't many pockets at all, and my stuff sat really weirdly in it. So when I decided to look for a bigger bag, I decided that it needed to be one that had everything the 22L was missing and that I could also use for backpacking and traveling. I found this bag and I fell in love with it. Not only does it have way more compartments and just the right amount of pockets, it also has the space that I was looking for and I don't really have an issue with the way my stuff sits in it. I take this bag almost everywhere with me. I take it to work, on weekend trips, if I'm going to a friends house, traveling. I use to carry so much extra stuff and now this is the only bag I really need and use(besides a super lightweight day bag I usually keep in the large compartment in the back or the mesh compartment on the front). My favorite feature on the bag is the front little zipper pocket. I use that pocket so much and it's great for easy access to essentials. My only complaint would be that the waist belt isn't very wide so it doesn't provide the support that I would've like to have from a waist belt. Other than that, this is the best backpack that I've ever had and I'm still just as in love with it as the day I got it.

I'm a dog walker, so i have to be outside for hours and hours, even when it rains. This backpack is very comfortable on my shoulders which is VERY important as i have to carry it all day. It has alot of space, so i can put anything i might need inside without worrying about "where can i put this?...". Plus is very pleasant on the eye, this backpack is not only what i need but also what i wanted. The only negative i can find is that when placed on the floor it has poor balance.

I use this product for basically everything. I am traveling to Spain and I will use this bag to carry around my things while I am there. The bag helps with the availability to carry essentially whatever you want, wherever you want. I love how there are multiple pockets to put belongings into. Without all the different sizes, I would end up putting pencils in a computer sleeve.

I bought this backpack for college recently and I already love it. It's on the heavy side, but all of the better backpacks that are padded and have space for a laptop are, so it wasn't necessarily a downfall

Super backpack- love the expandable mesh pocket for athletic gear!

Purchased it for my birthday. I have been a fan of The North Face brand since the 9th grade. And now I'm 24 years old. So now I'm a 10 year fan and consumer of the brand. By far has been the best backpack I've purchased. I use it every day for work and recreational purposes. Comfortably carries my laptop, iPad and large amounts of paper work. While still remaining stylish and comfortable!

Great bag for school or day use. Love the lined pockets. North Face bags are incredibly great quality.

I use this for commuting, as well as for recreational day trips. Very versatile and definitely a gift that will last forever.
