Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

This backpack is perfect for everyday use and short trips. I use it everyday to and from work and all outings with my family.

I would highly recommend this to anyone, great quality.

Use it for everything. Great back pack overall...

this is the 2nd backpack like this that i have bought for my daughter. She carried the first one for 3 years - she liked the styling so much we bought a 2nd one

I have used this pack from hiking to work! Extremely versatile and comfortable! Highly recommend!

Even room for a hammock.

Perfect laptop pocket, can fit my lecture books (2-3 big) in the main and the straps are extremely comfortable. Best everyday/school pack!

Good color for my father!

I bought this for my dad as a travel backpack and it's been wonderful and super useful.

For school

The Recon backpack is great for most applications, it is not small but if a large bag is needed look for alternatives. Very durable.

Love the back pack

I travel a lot for work and this has met my needs. Holds my laptop securely and has plenty of pockets for pens and cables. I also like the hooks for carabiners. The backpack feels comfortable and has good cushioning in the right spots; not too hot. The only downside is the hip buckle strap. I never use it but I with it was easier to attach and remove. I just leave it dangling there.

Used a Mountain Hardware Memo bag for years until a zipper finally gave up. So my review really is comparing to this pack. Found the Recon looking for something to haul laptop, lunch, jacket, etc to and from work. This is JUST big enough for those duties. I really like the narrower shape. It is very comfortable to wear on the bike and I like it very much. I bought a second to have a spare. I do miss the Memo's extra zippered pockets that I could keep my phone and wallet in when riding - can't have too many small pockets on a daily use bag. Another divider in the main compartment would be nice too.

Very good product.

Very sturdy and I love the color!

I bought this backpack for my granddaughter for Christmas and she absolutely loved it. The quality is exceptional and it is very stylish.

Fishing

It's sturdy which makes carrying lists of books and a laptop more comfortable then a normal backpack.

I used this backpack for med school so it helped me carry very heavy book!

Great backpack. I use it daily to carry my laptop and accessories to and from work. Compartments are super functional and it's comfortable to carry even when it is full.

My daughter uses this backpack everyday in high school and said it is the most comfortable backpack she has ever used. It doesn't make her back hurt. Very stylish and it holds books for all classes. Very durable and great quality. We are extremely happy with this purchase as it was the first North Face backpack we have owned. I would highly remmend this and will never buy anything else.

I've now received 2 emails from North Face to review a product I tried to buy 3 times but never actually received. My order was canceled because the item was "out of stock." Only to wake up the next morning to an email from North Face that this item was back in stock. Order backpack. Out of stock email. Back in stock email. Repeat. I thought the 3rd time would be the charm but I gave up after that.

Love this backpack..I bought my son a similar Northface backpack in 2004...its Black and Yellow...he still uses it and absolutely loves it... The zipper is starting to have problems, so he will need to get that repaired...very long life . Hoping mine lasts as long!

best bag brand. durable. first bag lasted 10 years. this bag looks it will last as long too.
