Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I chose this backpack because my husband has carried one for several years now. We travel frequently and he is able to store everything he needs in ready and easy access compartments. I needed the same features in a bag that was better fitted to me. The two tone black and charcoal is a stylish twist on solid black. I think that the ability to conveniently organize all my "things" is my favorite part. I know it will last through whatever I put it through because it will never compare to what my husband has put his through!

This backpack is great for travel and school

I bought this waiting for a conventional backpack and i received an amazing and funcional item, I use it for hiking and the inside it goes clothes, food and my profesional camera. Best Buy of 2020 so far.

This product is great for everyday use! There's nothing that I would change on it, I love how simple it is!

Best backpack I have owned! I bought this for my college classes, and love that it has a compartment for everything. Your laptop, phone, bens, notebook etc!! Beautifully designed and great quality. Great bag for traveling as well.

I have had this backpack for about 7 years now and it's still in amazing condition! I've put it through a lot of school years, cross country/track meets, and hikes. I love the adjustable straps and plentiful pockets. Perhaps my favorite part of this backpack is it's incredible durability. I was wearing this backpack when I was hit by a car while walking back to my school apartment and this backpack saved me! It protected me from breaking my collarbone (maybe more) and it kept my laptop perfectly safe! Absolutely amazing quality for a backpack, especially after 7 years!

I use this product everyday when I go to ballet. The size isn't to big but isn't to small, it's very lightweight but can hold heavyweight things. It's extremely durable, and ultimately helps me get to Point A to point B

These backpacks last forever and are great for school. I love the laptop compartment and all the different sized pockets

For hiking and travel

This backup was actually purchased for dual purposes. We need an extra bag for when we go hiking or riding the bikes but we wanted a new spin on the diaper bag for our upcoming baby. It has a lot of storage options and seems well made as I would expect being from The North Face.

I bought this lovely backpack to start the new year in a fun and fresh way! The size is a little bigger than I expected, but it fits everything I need for school, including my laptop. The only possible downside is that the backpack is thin meaning you can't stuff all your textbooks into it like some other ones, but it works great for what I need. I can fit folders, binders, notebooks, bags, and pouches into the large pocket, and the small pockets are great for my wallet and other accessories. I also love the water bottle pockets on the side because they are really tall so nothing falls out!

I needed to replace my old travel backpack, which was 12 years old. I ordered one other brand and this one. I wound up keeping this one bc it had several different pockets to safely stash sunglasses , phone and cables. I hate when things just float around in my bag and I have to dig for them. Also, the other backpack had two side pockets that weren't big enough to hold water bottles when the back pack was full. Since I use this for travel and at Disney parks, water bottle pockets are essential. I returned the competitor backpack and am keeping this one. Love love the organization. Just wish the center pocket was a bit bigger. But it's a catch 22 bc I like the size and weight of the back pack overall.

I use this on a daily basis for class. This backpack has held up great and works for traveling, class, and working.

I use it for nursing school and it comfortably holds all my supplies and keeps me organized!

This bag is perfect for my business travel. I bought one for my son a year and a half ago and I needed something to replace a non-north face bag. After a saw the room and vented straps I tried it for a trip in the summertime and loved it. Good for school or business travel.

I use this bag for traveling

I repurchased after my other one of 5 years was stolen and it wasn't even close to being worn down. Awesome quality, favorite backpack.

I use this product daily! Needed some comfort with my daily commute and this is exactly it!

I use this product For anything that may come up, from traveling to biking, school or the gym.

Great for my commute into the city with space for both business and personal items

Absolutely love this backpack. I bought it my first year of university. During school I was able to carry all my textbooks, laptop, water bottle, and lunch onto campus with just this backpack. I love that it was waterproof/resistant. I love all the pockets. I have had this backpack for 6 years now and have done multiple travels to different countries with it. The inner lining is starting to go, so it's not as waterproof anymore, but other than that everything is still in tact. I would buy this backpack again and again. It was well worth the money!

Will be used as a diaper bag. Great quality. Just the right size.

I use this product for school use and it has not let me down at all

the backpack was super thick material and is sturdy. the straps are really thick and has tons of cushion for comfort. i would recommend this backpack

It's a great product!! I absolutely loved it!!
