Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I've been wearing Recons for years. The best ever!

Very versatile bag that is perfect for both travel and hiking

Exactly what I needed for work. Great quality, lots of pockets. Spot to hold water bottle on the outside

Needed a new daily backpack for work and travel. My first was a Recon bought in 2004, which I have now passed on to my son. I knew from experience the quality was there, and the new upgrades are awesome!

Great versatility and very durable

I recently purchased recon backpack from North Face, and it has exceeded my expectations in both daily use and outdoor activities. The design is sleek yet functional, making it perfect for city commutes for daily use with laptops & office gears and also perfect for weekend hikes. It can withstand light rain, not tested for outdoor activities in heavy rain. The multiple pockets help keep everything organized. I particularly appreciate the side pockets for water bottles, which are easily accessible while on the go. Comfort is a standout feature; the padded shoulder straps and breathable back panel make it easy to carry, even during longer outings. The backpack also has adjustable straps, allowing for a customized fit. Overall, this backpack is a fantastic blend of style, comfort, and practicality. Whether I'm navigating city streets or exploring nature, it has become my go-to companion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable daily and outdoor backpack!

Very nice quality!

I use this backpack for school and the gym even hiking when i get the chance. This is the most versitile backpack i have ever purchased which happens to be my second one the first one i had lasted me 4 years. Due to the many adventures my first northernface backpack when through the quality was amazing unfortunately the left arm strapped ripped but it was the best purchase i ever made.

Perfect backpack. I used this backpack on the Salkantay trek, and it worked perfectly.

Durable backpack! this is my second time purchasing the recon. Would recommend for anybody trying to get a reliable bag

Seems pretty sturdy and looks really sleek. Nothing to hate as far as daily usage. Love it

I am using it for travel.

Great quality, good space, perfect size.

I've been using the Recon Backpack for my daily commute and it's been fantastic. The storage capacity is great, with plenty of compartments for organizing my laptop, books, and accessories. The shoulder straps are well-padded, making it comfortable to carry for long periods. One thing that could be improved is the water resistanceit holds up fine in light rain, but I'd prefer more protection in heavier downpours.

I enjoy all the silly pockets it has to offer. I will say, there are a lot of straps so if you go hiking and such, it would be helpful. I use it for college, and it's not heavy at all. Only thing is that it does tip over; which is fine. On the zippers, it has holes so you can put charms. I put my hair clips so it's easier to get.

Best bag ever I never see this kind of bag quality north face is the best brand

Retired my old Recon backpack from 2010 after many trips and heavy use. The new model hold a bit more and is comfortable to wear. Looking forward to another decade plus with this backpack.

High quality

I use my backpack for nursing school and I love it. So many pockets and everything fits very secure and snug.

(laptops, tablets, lunch box, active wears (separate pouch is there), water bottles, coffee bottles, Quality material, durable, long-term use, stylish, glamourous colors

my son is using as a backpack for 7th grade where they he has two 2-3 inch binders. These fit those, some notebooks and a balled up sweatshirt. Lots of pockets but not so much that they get lost. We've only had a few weeks but holding up great.

This is the second NF Backpack we've purchased for our kids--at first it felt like a luxury item for a high school kid but there's just no comparison between the kids' previous backpacks and their NF packs. Our first son is a junior in college and this has been his constant everywhere he goes, he can literally pack everything he needs for on campus and easily fit it in this pack. These classics have truly stayed as well-made as they did when I got my first one so many 20 years ago, and is highly Recommend for high school and college kids

I love love love this backpack! As a college student, I've multipurposed this bag for school, short weekend trips, and day hiking trips! Not only has this stood up to carrying all my books around for school, I've also taken this backpack up 2 14ers. It has an amazing number of pockets for all the school items you would want. Also, I've been able to fit in microspikes, extra layers, food, and plenty of water for all my hiking trips. For my 14ers, I lashed my snowshoes onto this backpack and it held up really nice because of the chest and waist straps. I've also used this for weekend trips. It is the perfect size to stuff maybe 3 or 4 different outfits, a change of shoes, and even your laptop. I've taken this bag to 3 different countries and it is my favorite carry on. I've also multipurposed it as a grocery bag and the amount of groceries you can fit in the bag is amazing. I would definitely recommend getting this bag as it is the best multipurpose backpack I've seen in the market. I'm buying another one because mine is simply giving out due to the amount of adventures I've taken it on.

Great way to stay organized

This backpack is great it keeps my laptop protected and carries all the supplies I need.
