Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I use it for high school and it's the best because I can fit all my books and stuff in it! It's so organized too

Use this backpack mainly for my daily office commute and business travel, and it is well suited for that. Really like the separate laptop compartment. Planning to also use it for hiking during my holidays, should be fine for that too (although field testing will still need to be done).

Use this backpack for school, and it keeps all of my things neat and organized with its extra pockets and compartments.

I have been eyeing on this backpack for a while and I finally got it! I absolutely love the sleek design and the compartments. Will definitely fit all of my college necessities in this sturdy and spacious backpack!!

I've been wanting to get a new backpack for a while now and I'm really glad I got this one. It's very good quality, I already know it's going to last me years. The color is super cute and simple. And there are so many pockets for a slim backpack.

Quality wise backpack seems very well made and would last a long time. Unfortunately I will be returning this. It's oddly shaped and does not hold as much as I expected. If you put things in the admin part you lose a lot of valuable space in the main compartment.

Use this product for my daily commute. Great for my laptop and supportive for my back.

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!

Things that are great about it is that it's very durable, one of the things that might be an outback is it's not that much of a travel backpack

I use this backpack for school and travel, the backpack was everything I need in one and more.

This backpack is great for travel and school

very fast delivery. Like all the pockets. a little heavier than what I thought

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.

It's really nice and compact! When I first got it, the bag was really stiff and it bummed me out a bit but that was when I hadn't broken it out yet - like when you get new shoes. It's really comfortable, a helps make stand straight since the bag stands tall, (doesn't stand on its own ;( ) and it feels really well made, vv nice. One thing I wish there was more room? Sure I use it for school but it feels so tight when it's supposed to be able to carry more than the borealis. Anyways, that's really my only issue. :) but do your research!

I was so excited to have finally found what I thought was the perfect backpack for school. It's an attractive design on the outside, but poorly designed on the inside. I tried to put two binders, a textbook, my laptop, and pencil case in it and that all barely fit. It looked super bulky and the padding on the bag felt very uncomfortable against my back. Would not recommend if you were hoping to find a bag that would fit your things nicely and carry around comfortably.

I use this backpack everyday to organize my things and carry my things back and forth to work. I also take it to travel and hike

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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