Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I bought this mainly for traveling. It's stylish and durable and perfect for what I wanted it for. Lots of space and pockets for my stuff!

My daughter needed a new backpack for school this year, so I purchases this for her. After it arrived and we inspected it in person, I not only fell further in love with the visual aesthetics of it, but also couldn't get over the smart design features and perfect size. In fact I loved it so much I ended up buying the men's version for my son. And because my job requires international travel, I purchased the Router Transit for myself as it offered 41 liters of space verses the Recon's 30 liters, and the extra space always comes in handy to pack a couple extra shirts or snacks for those 16 hours flights.

This backpack really holds a lot of stuff! And the best part, it's comfortable to carry heavy loads of stuff and looks cute!

Bought this backpack mainly since it was one of the larger ones to choose. I use it mainly for travel and daily use and it's been great. I have two small children so more than enough room for snacks and drinks etc. Love this backpack.

Love this pack! I was in need of a backpack for traveling that could hold my computer as well as room for other travel necessities. Love the the feel and seems to be pretty durable so far.

Love my bag! Great color, pockets, storage and quality.

My daughter uses this for college, going to and from classes. It is durable and can carry alot of weight. The color choices were great!

i am a college student and i love this bag so much! it's not too big which is amazing, because the last north face backpack i bought was too big! i would recommend!

I use this backpack everyday at school and often for small trips. I have had it for about 6 months now, and it has been great. There is not a single flaw. It looks like I just took it out of the box. I really love the color of this backpack. I also love the front pocket for pens and other things that you can just grab. The only thing that I wish was different, is that I wish the front pocket went all the way down the front of the bag instead of stopping 6 inches down. Other than that, I love everything about this backpack and will continue to use it for years.

This backpack makes my life so much easier. The storage is big enough that the bag covers all my needs, but it doesn't kill my back even with a computer and books. It's also great for all active activities; it serves me well in the gym and on cycling trips. 10/10

I bought it for my son , he is in high school and has a lot to carry. This is the best option that I found.

I use this daily for school. Nice and roomy. Fits everything nicely including my computer. Comfortable on my shoulders and seems durable.

Use for travel; day hiking

I love this backpack. Was worried about the light color but loved it so bought it and six months later and daily use still looks brand new!

I love using it for work items and school!

Of all the backpacks this one is my favorite. I can put my lunch box in there plus like 6 binders and it's all light weight. If you want a good backpack this is the one. Don't buy underarmor or Nike those rip up and wear out too quick trust me after one month it began to tear up. But with this one everything is still in amazing shape.

Love the lifetime warranty that comes with the back pack! It does show stains quicker than darker colors and sometimes I feel like I need more space for all my textbooks, overall though, strongly recommend.

I love this backpack! I had previously owned the black recon, but after it got stolen this last summer, I knew I had to get the same one again. This bag is the PERFECT size for students especially because it has a laptop pocket, big section for notebooks/clothes, side pockets for water bottles (both fit 32 oz Nalgene or Hydroflask), and has so many pockets! Cannot recommend enough.

Both of my daughters use this backpack model. I used to buy them new each year but these will last and last and still look good. They are more comfortable on the shoulders. It also has a nice place to put a slim laptop. It's well organized. If you are looking to haul a lot of gear this isn't for you, it is roomy enough for school/college - space for water bottles, keys, etc as well. All around good buy.

We place snacks and water bottles in it and go. The suspension system keeps the pack off of your back.

My daughter loves

Great bag for everyday use. Great for work. It will hold an tablet and laptop. I use it for a carry on when I travel as well. It is very comfortable, even if the bag is weighted down.

I'm using this for college- love it because it fits everything and looks good.

I use this backpack for school, carrying books and my laptop. I absolutely love it. Its durable, roomy, and comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Would recommend to anyone.

Use as I start college to carry books and laptop. It is comfortable and roomy for all my needs.
