Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I use my recon bag for commuting to and from work on my motorcycle also camping and hiking and I love it

I love my backpack so much. I'm a college student and decided to risk spending the extra money so I could maybe use it for hiking/backpacking too. Best decision! I use it for school, going home from college, and short backpacking/hiking trips. I have two TNF backpacks (Recon & Berkley). Never had any major issues with either and I can assure you I use them for everything, every single day.

Very durable and stylish.

I use the Recon backpack for work. I LOVE all the pockets that it has.

I take this to nursing school everyday with lots of books and a computer. It is perfect!

I am a college student so I tend to carry a lot of things with me. This backpack helps me stay organized and makes sure I am carrying everything that I need. I love the comfort of it and how stylish it looks.

I love this backpack. I keep my journal in the front which makes it easy to get. Love it for school...not to bulky.

I bought this bag for my daughter and she fell in love with it immediately. It's a perfect fit for laptop and has many great compartments for all her other items.

stylish, light weight, excellent for commuting, and work.

I use this backpack not only for work but also on the weekends when out with my family. Perfect for kids all of the kids misc. items and water bottles. Comfortable to wear for hours on end.

I'm using this backpack for school and it's the best one I've ever had. I couldn't tell if it looked big enough online but when I got it in the mail I could tell it would hold all of my books easily. It's not too big on my back or hard to carry and it holds everything I need. 100% recommend.

I was looking to upgrade my 20+ yr old NF Wasatch backpack which unloaded my laptop in the parking garage when it was partially zippered - my bad! I narrowed my choices to the Recon and Surge, and finally settled on the Recon for its size and am really pleased with the functionality. Specifically, shoulder straps are comfortable and do not slide off anymore, 40 oz hydro flask fits nicely without worrying about toppling out and 15" laptop fits with room to spare and will not "spill" out even if zipper is open. With the Wasatch holding up this long w/o any wear or zipper problems there was no reason to look at anything else but NorthFace. Thank you.

I bought one for me and one for my daughter! Great backpack and great price.

Work

I first used this backpack last year when my friend let me used hers for my one month trip through Colombia. I was enjoyed having it more and more in every stretch of the journey. I was able to fit so much in it (including my laptop, change of clothes, a book, souvenirs, electronics, and sweets from different towns), it is the perfect size for carry on, it didnt feel heavy even when it was loaded and i was able to access everything quickly because of its multiple compartments. It made my trip through the country easier so now I have my own Recon and I am so happy to travel with it.

I use this backpack for school and travel.

My dad will use for his trips and go to work

My daughter plays 2 varsity sports. She carries a lot of gear along with her books and needed something comfortable and durable for her books that would support her back. She loves this backpack!

This bag is great! It has multiple compartments for easy organization, the back padding makes the bag super comfortable and it's a great design as well!

i use this for various purpose from travelling to school

I ordered this backpack as a new backpack for school and it is perfect! It has a good amount of pockets and perfect for holding your computer and books. The hard backing to it ensures time that my computer is protected and even provides a nice comfort to your back so nothing is poking into it.

I specifically got this bag for personal travel. I just prefer a backpack. I went for the dark color because I wanted something different than my hiking backpack. I was happily surprised by the weight of this. It is lightweight enough that it is not offensive on the back but solid enough that it feels sturdy and like it is going to be durable (time will tell). A ton of room and good pocket space. And the color choice was spot on for me. The black and silver/gray looks clean.

It was a great product. I use it for school, and traveling for games and school activities, and it was the perfect size, wasn't too big and wasn't too small.

Distributes the weight really nicely so it doesn't feel heavy!

This is a great backpack to travel and for school it can hold a lot and is it style
