Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I ordered this bookbag on a Tuesday, and it came in on Thursday! I love the size and the pockets of it. Perfect for school

I use it for school and it doesn't hurt my back at all or my shoulders.

Great for school and sports. Travels well.

Overall good bag. I've used it for school and have used many different bags. I used a lot of Eddie Bauer bags and those things last forever, but this bag gives them a run for there money with room and comfort to back every word I say!

I use this backpack for work and for school. It fits my 15inch laptop, my 12inch iPad and a few notebooks. At first it is very stiff but opens up with use. The backpack itself is very light so it doesn't weigh you down. Very comfortable to wear and to commute in. I highly recommend.

Bought this for my boyfriend because his work backpack had a hole in it. He loves it!

Overall this is a great backpack. The back panel is sturdy and the padding is great against your back. It also gives the backpack structure and protects your laptop well. The main compartment is quite roomy. However if you put something in the outer most pocket its presses into it and takes some room away. The organizer compartment has lots of storage and is very convenient. The mesh side pockets are tall and can fit your 40 oz hydroflasks too. The backpack is good quality and beautiful colors

I use this bag for school. I had this bag for years and just replaced it for a new one. Worth every penny. Spacious and durable! Fits my laptop perfectly and leaves plenty of space for books. Has plenty of compartments for other little necessary things.

It's make my back feel comfortable and straight. The material is excellent.

I bought this bag to replace the one I was using for school and it hasn't disappointed one bit. The layout of the compartments in this pack offer individuals high organizational capabilities. I thoroughly enjoy the FlexVent system that keeps the pack from digging into my lower back, something that my last bag would give me problems with when my laptop or a book would shift wrong.

I had my first Recon backpack for 9 years and did lots of traveling and carrying of heavy textbooks with it. I only needed to replace it because I accidentally broke the strap by slamming the buckle in a car door (oops). This updated Recon looks very professional and stylish. I love the silver reflective design and the laptop pocket in the back.

This backpack has a dual purpose: It carries my laptop and books for classes and while hiking it's orange color makes me visible in the woods so an arrow or bullet doesn't come my way! The North Face Recon Orange backpack helps keep my me alive & safe plus my formal education is functional and efficient when I carry one carrying case. Beautiful ...

I use this to go to school and it really helps if you have a lot of stuff to carry. Very roomy too.

Using the backpack for college and it is a life saver! Love the design and the color combo!

Very good.

This product is very comfortable to wear throughout the day. My daughter loves it and uses it for school. Has enough storage for all her books and laptop.

This backpack is used by my granddaughter who's in 8th grade. She chose this style and is pleased with it. I'm pleased with the sturdiness.

Looking for a multifaceted backpack for travel, photography & airline carry on, that also provides an acceptable level of comfort & ease of use. This backpack has met all of my expectations & more. Lot's of useful compartments, laptop protection & enough room for my mirrorless camera system.

I will use it on all occasions. Primarily I will use it for travel and most of the time business travel. I will use it for office as well and day out for hang as well.

This book bag holds tons of books, computer, lunch and sporting gear

I use it for grad school and it fits all my $49298226 books and computer comfortably:)

I am very skeptical about buying packs online however this pack came as advertised. Great design, very comfortable for the commute to and from school. The only thing I don't like about the pack is that there are too many straps to tie down. I don't like dangling and swinging straps that can get caught on things; a little time with a roll of electrical tape fixed the problem.

Best backpack for School! I will use this backpack for years!

This is my second RECON backpack and the last was with me for 10 years. The new generation blows every other backpack out of the water. I'm a first responder and I'm also very active this product has such a premium feel and such a purposeful built item that I can easily see my self with it for another 10 years. Thanks again to my family for this gift. I'm beyond happy of how comfortable, lightweight, durable, and usable this backpack is. Great job to everyone who was involved with this product development. The North Face loves on and proudly to.

Perfect for traveling, school, anytime! Mine has lasted for 7 years and still going strong. Used all over college and for all sorts of traveling
