Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

bought this backpack for my daughter who is in 10th grade. She carries a lot of books and supplies for school. This bag holds it all, looks GREAT, and is very durable.

This was a gift for my wife and she loves it. She was amazed there were so many pockets, and that they were all padded. She really like the floating computer carrier. She has a brand new computer to put in there, and it gave her comfort that it wouldn't get damaged.

I use this backpack for all my school books labtop! It is easy to carry around campus and is very cute. Love the color and durability.

Awesome pack.This was made with lots of attention to detail which provides lots of convenience, also great for organization

I wish the main compartment of the backpack was larger to fit books more easily.

I use this pack for school and outdoor adventures alike, and it holds up wonderfully.

This is actually the best bag I've brought. It's a little pricey but it's actually worth the money. I would recommend to a friends. BIG THUMPS UP

This is the best back my son has ever owned!! It is not only great looking but also very comfortable. He carries lots of books in high school and the the padded back and shoulder straps makes it very easy to wear.

Great because it has features that other backpacks don't have.

I use this product for school everyday. I am a sophomore in college and it has plenty of room to fit everything and more! The laptop compartment is my favorite feature that the backpack offers.

My 16-year-old daughter loves this book bag. She had a NF book bag last year and loved it also...hence the purchase of a 2nd one for this year in a different color. :-) Perfect book bag for high school students.

Great for carrying books.

Nice bag big inside... a great start for high school

school backpack

Would love for a little more room but works great for school!

My daughter bought it for school. Loves it. Fits all her stuff and her comper

I bought this backpack for my daughter to use for school this year. There is plenty of room and it is so comfortable to carry. I plan to use it when we travel.

I've only owned this bag for a few weeks (Recon Gry/Orng). So far, I'm a fan of the design and layout, but obviously I haven't been able to put it to any big tests yet. Built into the back is some sort of plastic support, which I'm a huge fan of. Keeps it straight. Not sure if it can be removed, but someone who is looking to fold up/bunch up the bag might find this as a disadvantage, but I like that it doesn't slouch over when I set it on the ground.

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!

Daughter is using this backpack for high school!! Everything has a place to go in this backpack!! She loves it!! Color is exactly what she wanted and is exactly how it was described!!

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 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.

I use this backpack primarily for my school. The pockets are very deep (sometimes too deep - I hate digging around the bottom for my pencil pouch!) and functional. I feel like my laptop is very secure within its pocket. The only thing I do not like about the Recon is the amount of straps hanging off of my body - chest strap, lower ab strap, and adjustable shoulder pad straps - I feel like an octopus sometimes. It's nothing a little knot-tying skills can't fix, but it is rather cumbersome. Otherwise, I love this bag! I purchased it to last me through college and beyond - so far, it's holding up great! I highly recommend!
