Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I bought this backpack for school and so far it's really great. I don't have too many things however there is lots of space and still feels very lightweight. It's very stylish from the outside and very durable on the inside.

Used for school. It is very spacious, comfortable to carry around all day and love the durability of the bag.

I bought this backpack for my son and this is the first year he has been able to easily fit all of his school items in his backpack! We will definitely be purchasing more in the future!

I'm very excited to be able to use this for college. so happy with this purchase

Great option for college. Plenty of space for books and laptop without sacrificing style.

I bought this backpack to replace my Borealis. I loved the new colors (Heather Grey/Powdered Blue). It still had the features I loved about my Borealis: Separate, padded pocket for my laptop, large main compartment for notebooks and binders, & separate organization pocket for pens, pencils, calculator, etc. Practical & stylish.

Build with high quality material and worth every cent of it

I bought this backpack to use during law school and am super happy with it. I've had North Face backpacks in the past as well and they're always durable. This one has different compartments and pockets, which make it easy to carry everything I need for class in it (books, laptop, chargers, snacks). The bag itself is pretty lightweight, which I really appreciate since I load it up with heavy textbooks and things.

Overall, this backpack is great! It is large and deep enough to hold all the things I need. There is an entire protected compartment just for my laptop, so I no longer need a laptop case, which has lightened the load even more. The two deep pockets on either side is good for hold my umbrella and water bottle. The only problem I have experienced so far is that the book bag can not hold itself upright, so I have to lean it on other chairs or table legs. However, I do believe that this is protect the bottom of the bag , so that you labtop isn't making a direct hit with the ground, which for me is worth it because I have to take my computer to class all the time. Overall, it's a great durable book bag for school and would definitely recommend because from the experiences of others, they have kept theres for several years.

Great backpack overall. Lightweight and very comfortable. Only surprised was one of the pockets is a half pocket and didn't go down to the bottom of the backpack.

The backpack was very comfortable on my back and I'm not worried about my laptop breaking. There's just enough room for notebooks, folders, and pencil cases, but not enough for a textbook. The backpack came with a different color strap than shown on the website. I love the compartments and the durability that came with the backpack. I can definitely expect it to last me for the upcoming years.

The best backpack, my mom recommended me this backpack and it was the best purchase I have ever made!

Great backpack! Love the added color detail around the zippers - makes a plain black backpack standout from the crowd. Nice feature to have the laptop sleeve in a zipper of it's own, added protection and organization. Comfortable shoulder straps and a nice roomy interior.

i use this backpack mainly for school. i love it because i can put my ipad in the front pocket with the mesh, and it fits perfect for easy access. the other pockets are the right size and can fit a lot.

I use this for school and day trips - serves multiple purposes

I use this product for high school. I love all of the pockets and all of the compartments. I dislike how you can't fit to many binders.

I bought it for my boyfriend he needed a back pack a good one since he's starting the police academy. All in one backpack

This is my son's 2nd North Face backpack for school. It's roomy enough to hold his books and his chromebook, in addition to the smaller pockets and compartments for a water bottle, id card, phone, etc... He's already said that it's lightweight and feels comfortable (fully loaded) on.

i love the laptop pocket feels like my laptop is very secure and safe. super comfortable straps overall amazing backpack

This product is very comfortable, fits all my school supplies and books! I would definitely by this product again in different colors!

This backpack is perfect for school, being a college student and having to carry more things, there's plenty of space for everything. Very stylish as well!

This backpack is perfect to use for college! It fits my books and schoolwork and is easy to carry around and transport!

This backpack has a ton of room and pockets for everything. It is comfortable even when its loaded down.The adjustable straps are padded and very comfortable as well. Usually I purchase a new backpack every year but this one I plan to use this for a few years. Highly recommend, even with the price.
