Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I'm able to put in everything I need for the day and/our weekend.

I bought it as a college student it's very comfortable, aesthetically pleasing & very spacious for all my belongings. It would be a great bag to travel or hike with too with its comfortability & space.

This is a great backpack. Our son is using it for school. He's used other backpacks in the past and they've all fallen apart after just a few weeks. Last year he ended up using my north face backpack from 20 years ago that stayed strong. This one seems to be just as sturdy as my old one. And the pockets and size are perfect.

Great versatility back pack. It solves all the problems

Bought this backpack for high school son. Lots of room, comfortable and is built for daily wear and tear.

I just started my first year of college, and usually, never am I packing light. I'm talking two text books and two 2inch binders (not fully loaded) and a note book or two and some misc. I needed something that was going to last and take on a lot.. I really love my new backpack from the feel, the color, how sturdy and secure it feels, the straps are so comfy.. The only thing I would change is the zippers only unzipping half way, I wished it zipped down an extra inch lower. I love my backpack.

great ackpack. durable, plenty of space It is my son's high school backpack.

High quality backpack for college student, commuting, and occasional outdoors-ing. Would recommend.

High quality. I have bought my son name brand backpacks for his entire school time and I always have to buy him another one half way through the year because they break but, not with Northface the quality is amazing and he has enough storage and compartments to store more than what he needs.

I just this backpack for college. It has worked out great so far. Lots of space, durable, and fits my 16 inch laptop.

This is the best backpack ever! Super durable. My daughter uses for high school. They don't use lockers so everything for the day stays in the backpack. She is on her junior year and it is still going strong!! Just bought for my son who is a freshman. Love this backpack

The placement of the pockets are intuitive. It is almost as if someone read my mind when they designed this pack! There is a location to store everything that I need to have when I travel. My sunglasses have never been treated as well as they are kept in the ultra-soft compartment. It is as if a family of chinchillas made a cradle to nurture my Oakleys. I use the large outside pouch for my phone, which frees up pocket space and adds comfort in my shorts and pants. The last pack I had was a Patagonia which neglected my bottles as they kept sliding out without the North Face strap system. All in all, it is the more intelligently organized pack that have had in half a century.

Backpack is perfect for college. Everything I need fits.

Great color

Such a versatile and useful bag, truly useful for all applications.

Great product. Would purchase again

I've ordered both the Recon backpack and the Borealis for my sons at college. They prefer the Recon as they are not a fan of the bungee to hold jackets etc. on the Borealis. On the Recon my boys like the laptop compartment, the water bottle side holder and the front zipper compartment to hold earbuds, and other important small items.

Great backpack! It fits everything I need for the day and more!
