Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Great durable backpack! I use it for my daily commutes from home to work and back and it's very comfortable. Takes a beating and keeps on ticking. Would definitely recommend!

My old recon backpack finally gave out after 5+ years. Decided to get a new one and once again, I'm very satisfied! Love this updated model! Very comfortable, plenty of space. Would recommend to anyone.

I am able to take to classes and then to work. Fits everything I need for both work and classes.

Enough room for everything and well-balanced so it is easy to carry! Perfect - thank you.

I've used it for work and school, and just for every day use of carrying things. It comfortable and I love the color! I also plan on using it to travel with and take hiking this summer!

Bringing everything to and from work, looks great feels great

Love this backpack. I holds everything Including the kitchen sink. The side pockets for my 40oz water bottle is nice and deep no worries that it is going to fall out.

Bought this as a gift for my wife and she loves it!

It's My new EDC. But mostly I use it for going to set. As a background actor I can fit tons of clothes and a pair of 6" boots for changes.

I took this bag snowboarding and it fit all my gear, I didn't ride with it mainly because I don't ride wearing a pack. I love that the accessories pockets are fleece lined so it doesn't scratch glasses or my phone. Comfortable straps and good adjustability. This bag is replacing another TNF bag I've had for 20 years. I will take it cycling and appreciate that there is a strap to attach a rear light.

Used for light hiking. Doesn't hurt my back.

I use it daily to carry my laptop to work. I've also used it for hiking. Super comfy straps and holds a LOT. Love all the pockets and compartments.

So far the backpack has been great. Just what I was looking for. Big enough for what I need and not too big. It's a bit different than the Recon I bought my daughter 5 years ago before she started college. If it last as well as hers has, which she uses regularly and is still going strong, I'll be thrilled.

The looks, style a d just plain cool

I recently purchased this backpack for my dad to travel with. He loves the sturdy back support and all the pockets. He used it as his under the seat carryon. The separate compartment for a laptop allowed him to remove it quick and easy for TSA without accidentally dropping stuff that didn't need to be removed. Having the smaller pockets at the top of the bag made it easier to retrieve stuff during the flight. The front mesh pocket was perfect for his newspaper. His favorite detail of the backpack was probably the whistle that is part of the chest snaps. He would use it whenever he couldn't find my mom. He asked why I didn't buy him a NorthFace backpack sooner.

Great bag for all the essentials in a short business trip.

I got this for my husbands birthday and he is obsessed! It has everything! It has the laptop pocket, great size compartments, smaller pockets and holds 2 water bottles on the sides. It looks very high quality, it's light weight and very comfortable. It would work well for hiking too!

I've used this same type of backpack for 6 years and needed to get a new one. I got the darker gray color so it doesn't get as dirty quickly!

I use it for school, it's a little too small but overall i like it.

I use the backpack as an everyday tote to carry all my items that wouldn't otherwise fit in a purse.

These are the only back packs I use! They fit everything in an organized fashion and have 2 spots for water bottles, which is key as a student!

for traveling and groceries laundry to work and from work i like the TNF backpacks it's easy and everything fits in very perfectly yes i will buy again it's stylish

I use this backpack to lug around all my medical school supplies. I only buy North Face backpacks since they're so durable and stylish.

Great bag for work. I have to walk a ways to get to the office from where I park. I love all of the pockets. It was a little stiff at first but it is softening wuickly. I still highly recommend it! Such great quality and fancy for a backpack!
