Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

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!

Love the color and its just a overall attractive backpack!

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

I use this to bring things back and forth for work. However, it's a pain because it won't stand up and I have to lay it on the floor. No where to hang it
