Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

This was the first backpack that was really comfortable to wear.

Bought this for my daughter for school and she loves it!

Bought for Husband and he loves it!

Got this to upgrade from my old Borealis. Love the color and design is great to keep everything organized.

Mainly use recon for work. Stylish and comfortable.

I bought this as a gift for my girlfriend because she really liked my similar North Face backpack. As expected she loved it and uses it every day now!

This is a very durable backpack and comfortable to carry.

North Face has never disappointed us. This is a great backpack. I got this for my daughter to start college this coming summer. I just ordered another one for my niece.

Super durable! I love it!

Hiking in a cold day makes for cold fingers when you are trying to grab your lip balm or a tissue. The compartments made this quick work. Mittens were barely off!

It's used for school. It's used for a computer, books, folders, and other school supplies. The light weight makes it easier to carry when I have multiple things to carry.

I have purchased two of these packs over the last 5 years. They are both used daily by my sons to carry a ton of school books to and from school and classes. They have been extremely durable and have the right amount of humongous capacity my high school student needs. This pack has been a great investment.

Great backpack and durable.

I bought this for my 15 year old daughter for Christmas at her request. This backpack fits a tiny 80 lbs 5'4 young lady well and is very comfortable for her computer and books. She loves it for the elements. We live in MT and feels comfortable using for short outdoor trips; as well as, keeping stuff books dry in the snow and varied conditions when she travels for sports in MT including skiing. Great backpack.

It's not only comfortable and practical but looks good. Using for school and travel and works well for both.

Excellent bag!

Great backpack so far. I love show many pockets and separate areas there are in the backpack. Makes for great organization for school and travel.

I was juggling a few different brands of backpacks to try as my Swiss gear bag finally wore out after about 16 years of use. I was already leaning towards NorthFace as I have a few of thier jackets and they have held up over a decade so far. I decided on the Recon backpack and right off the bat I can tell this bag will last me for many years to come. High quality zippers, well designed compartments, and holds my MacBook securely in the extra laptop section. This is by far my favorite product I have purchased from the North Face. What I love about them is their stuff just lasts. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Highly recommend!

I use this for school! It fits my laptop, binders, books, and more! My previous North Face lasted 4 years until I finally decided to upgrade to a bigger one!

I love this backpack! It is well-designed and just the right size. The quality is excellent and it looks great!

Great backpack!!

Amazing! I've been using North Face backpacks since my sophomore year of high school and they continue to impress me with every backpack they release. This one is by far my favorite- no only because of its beautiful design and color, but also because of how much space there is inside! This backpack comes with an abundance of pockets- all of different size. I've been looking for a backpack that was visually appealing yet had a small pocket for pens, a large flat one for computers, and two medium compartments in between. This back is everything I've ever wanted! 12/10!

I use this backpack for college and it is the best! It's durable and it is waterproof I've never had anything inside get wet. I LOVE IT

Bought this for my daughter going to college next fall so she has a new one...although her existing TNF backpack is perfectly fine! She loves the rose gold hardware and all the features. She will only use TNF bags!

My teen son loves this backpack b/c it's lightweight yet sturdy. I love that it has numerous bells and whistles such as outside pockets, padding for laptop/ iPad, and the chest trap!
