Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

It is bigger and more durable than i expected.

The only critiques I have for this pack are the following: (1) The second largest compartment could be slightly greater in depth (not length or width, but depth) as I find it a bit too narrow for all of my everyday things. (2) The third largest compartment that holds pencils could be a bit larger to fit a regular sized iPad versus only fitting an iPad Mini. (3) It would be great if the pack stood up by itself with my gear in it. As it is, my pack wants to tumble over on its back every time I put it on a surface or the ground to extract my things.

I had to give up my first backpack because it was just not fitting all of my casebooks. This backpack has been such a lifesaver. I can finally fit my books and water bottle and not have to carry anything in my hands. It's super roomy and has enough pockets for chargers and cables. Love my backpack!

I love this bag, it's very roomy and has a lot of space for books and my laptop

I use this backpack for school and traveling. This is the best backpack i have ever used! I love the color I got and how fast the shipping was. I think that the price is totally worth it. This bag isn't very durable and will last me for several years!

Plenty of room, hold many items in an organized, easy to find way.

I use this bag to travel and hike and it's perfect!

The NorthFace Recon backpack is just a great all-around bag that is just awesome! Quality and the NorthFace guarantee you just can't go wrong!

Great for school - have heavy textbooks

Bought this for traveling & it is absolutely perfect!

I bought this backpack for my high school aged daughter. She loves everything about it! The color, comfort and lots of different pocket spaces for all her needs! I will definitely buy another!

Comfortable

Works as a dual-purpose backpack for school and day trips. Room for a laptop and notebooks. Got this backpack to replace my old one, which was falling apart and hurting my back. This backpack is durable and comfortable. Would recommend.

This book bag carries everything I need whether it's school or travel related. Has many pockets and compartments. yes

I use this backpack for college and I love it! Its comfortable to wear and doesn't feel too heavy even when it is full of books and binders for my classes.

This backpack is stylish, comfortable to wear, and holds lots of stuff!

My New Backpack is super epic ! It offers alot of pockets for my photography gear and also keeps them dry and safe ! It's not a photography backpack but it does a great job at letting me keep my stuff packed and ready to go , personally don't like bulky photography backpacks and this was a great alternative , actually looks stylish not like a box !

I bought one for day travel while in Europe. It worked so well in all aspects, I purchased a 2nd one to keep in our RV for hiking while traveling the country!

Nice and comfy and carries what I need a great fit

I use this backpack for school. It is large enough to hold all my things, but it also seems to wear down faster on the side I keep my water bottle on.

The backpack feels great even when there is a heavy load in it, only con is that it falls forward when too many items in top front pocket. Other than that, would definitely buy again :)

North Face has again provided a well made and stylish product.

I use my backpack for school. I currently am in my Junior year of college for my Bachelors. My backpack allows me to bring all my supplies with plenty if room for my lunch and laptop.

I bought this to travel to Spain. I only take carryons. I packed my carry on and then packed 3 extra outfits, my electronics, water and snacks. Worked perfectly for traveling.

I'm petite so this women's backpack feels so much better than previous backpacks I have used. I just started college in June and quickly found that my high school backpack was too spacious once I didn't have as much in it but had to walk a lot further to get to my classes each day. The bag was not fitting snug to me which was starting to cause back pains. I was looking for something that fit closer to my back and up higher. This one is just perfect for me (size, style, space) and feels so much better carrying around campus everyday. I really like the side straps which allow me to keep my water bottle secure as well as keep the backpack more upright. There are enough pockets in this backpack to hold what I need, and I like that the laptop compartment is separate from where I put my binders/books. I do wish there was a zipper on the bottom front pocket, but my pencil case fits in it just fine and doesn't seem like it will come out. The whistle on the sternum strap is also an added security feature. Thanks for making a great backpack!!
