Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

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.

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!

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.

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

My son loves it for high school

Excellent product. Nice looks!

This is THE backpack this year for my daughter's 6th grade class, so we just had to order it. ;0 She loves everything about it so far, except that she has to wriggle her laptop into it each morning. She says after that, it slides easily in and out of the pocket the rest of the day. I'm thinking of ordering one for myself for my own laptop to take to work.

For work. I put my laptop in it for travel and going back and forth to the office.

This is my daily backpack for school and it has many different compartment to hold all the necessities of a daily school day with plenty of room left over.

I use this product to store my school needs since I am a college student. I have never found a backpack that can be durable enough to fit my books like this backpack!

Best backpack I have ever owned...super comfortable and lightweight

I have an older version of the Recon and have had it for years. Love it. I've used it for day hiking, commuting, travel, and for my photography gear (adding in bottom padding). This newer version has a dedicated laptop/tablet compartment which makes airline TSA check-ins so much easier. Being a backpacker, I have an appreciation for the harness suspension system (including belt). I've been able to haul some serious weight in my Recon. I will keep my old Recon for day hiking and plan to use this one for commuting and travel.

I was looking for a bag that would double as my school and travel backpack and this product checks off both of those! It is very comfortable, durable, and fits all of my school stuff. It also has a cool design so I am very pleased with my purchase. 10/10 recommend this for high school and college students.

This is a great bag for my 14 year old. Has great space for computer and text books as well as space for change of clothing for sports practice/gym. It's big enough but doesn't look massive. Great for my 8th and 10th grader.

My favorite for school backpacks. Great back support, protects computer well.

Comfortable for college and able to fit all my books and laptop

I swapped all of my school supplies right over to my new backpack as soon as it came in. Love the design and the space and pockets it has!

This backpack makes my daily life easier. Each pocket/compartment is designed to accommodate whatever I need to put in it

Love these backpacks! I have one now that I've had for four years and it's still in great condition! Just purchased this new one because I wanted a revamp. I will definitely be keeping the old one and using it as needed! These last FOREVER!
