Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I picked this one because I like all the compartments and I liked the back support and the chest straps for helping reduce back pain. The the deal break is the backpack will NOT stand up! It need some base support. Without the base support you'll have to prop it up against a wall for it to stand up. The other thing is one of the water bottle pockets got a hole in it after a few months use by my middle schooler. The tipping over issue would make me not purchase this model again.

The book bag is great! It's spacious, compartments are very convenient and the size is great!

Pack my lunch. For hiking and biking. All day pack for travel too.

I use this backpack daily and love it's versatility.

I bought this backpack for college!

Commute and day pack

I use this for everyday use. My old backpack was wearing out so I bought a new one but this bag is soooo much smaller. I don't like the new bag as much.

Love the backpack, it's very comfortable to wear. I feel like it could be a bit roomier, but it's still a great backpack.

I use this for school for and it is perfect. The bigger compartments are for my laptop, textbooks, and binders. And the small are for my smaller teams like keys.

Excellent product, great quality. Durable. I also like the color.

It's a little still at first but I broke it in

Super cute and comfortable backpack. Fits all my stuff if I'm using it as an overnight bag. Overall great!

I bought this backpack for school and it fits my 17.3" laptop comfortably. There's also enough room for my iPad in the front packet. Stylish and functional!

I used it going to work and on day hikes. It is great for both as long as you are okay with having a water bottle over a hydration blatter. The laptop pocket is nice and well-padded against the back overall a great backpack.

Roomy and comfortable

I was looking for an upgrade to my previous backpack and this one stood out the most to me. Turns out it's an upgrade of the one I already had! I bought it about 8 years ago and it still is in great shape, so I hope this one lives up to its predecessor. I typically use it while I'm traveling and could previously fit a lot in the older version. This one seems a bit smaller (not sure if that's the word I'm looking for) at the top, so it was harder for me to jam as much stuff in there. But it's still a great bag and looks really nice too!

After several years of durability, needed another great backpack from North Face for multifaceted use. Either for construction equipment to travel.

It has way more room than it looks like it does. Great for biking, hiking or a weekend trip. Would definitely recommend. It's also lightweight and durable. I love it!

I use this backpack every day as I commute to work by bicycle, and then walking around the college campus where I work. This replaced an identical backpack that wore our after many years. I like the separate laptop section, which is better than the previous laptop sleeve. It's very comfortable and practical.

This backpack is super roomy and great for school! It's helps me stay organized and is super light weight!

I had this bag and I had some trouble with my first one and used my warranty and they were so great about it ! Love this bag so much I got the same one !

On downside is that it doesn't sit up straight. This is something you get used to quickly.

Great backpack for college! Lots of room and front sections are ideal.

Great bag. Perfect size and great quality. North face always has the best book bags.
