Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I love my Recon backpack it's great for all my books and my 15' laptop while traveling from school and back. Also a great sized carry on for an airplane. Although it did come a tad darker than I was expecting, which is understandable seeing that pictures can often can slightly distort colors.

Bought for my girlfriend, for upcoming trip which she needs to bring her laptop to take a final once we land. Backpack has a great separate pocket for laptop with out taking room away from other pockets. Backpack is def versatile and could be used for whatever she needs (school/work ect.

My 14 year old daughter picked this backpack for school. It is very light weight and stylish. Plenty of room w/ several pockets. All zippers work. She loves it!

This is our third North Face backpack. While each backpack has been great, this one's design and comfort is superior.

Use for weekend travel and excursions on longer trips. Bought one 25 years ago and just now replacing it.

I really love my backpack. It is very comfortable and holds all of my books and supplies for school. It is easy to access different compartments in the backpack. The straps are also very comfortable. I walk around a lot and climb a bunch of stairs and my back doesn't hurt. I have used other backpacks where there was not that much support and it was always very uncomfortable and caused back, shoulder, and neck pain.

I use this backpack for school. It's got great back support I absolutely LOVE my Recon.

This was purchased for my high school senior

Really enjoy this product!

I got this backpack for school and it holds all of my items. I have not had any problems.

Got a matching Hydro flask, am ready for anything!

I use the product to go to school and lug around all my books and computer. This backpack has great pockets for all of that. I'm able to fit a binder, 4 notebooks, laptop, laptop charger, and my lunch without the backpack bulging or looking huge.

I use it for traveling as my carry on bag. It has a lot of awesome secret little pockets

Great backpack. Got it for my niece and she loves it.

I use this product for school. It is comfortable, spacious, and has the capacity to hold everything from books to water bottles. The laptop pocket is great.

I bought this backpack for my son who is a sophomore in HS. He was able to fit 5 large binders in it for the first day. Very well made! The straps offer a lot of support and comfort when carrying it. He liked all the different compartments for his calculator, pens/pencils and phone.

This is the best backpack my son had ever had for school!

Worth the money

Bought this for college! It is very durable and has the best front pockets. It will hold MacBook as well as multiple books/notebooks and all the other little stuff you need everyday!

So roomy,stylish and very durable and have before. Would highly recommend!!!

Love this bookbag. It'a very spacious and durable. Got it for commuting to work and fits everything i need and more. Will recommend

I would definitely recommend this as a great choice if your just looking for a back-to-school backpack or if you need anything where that requires a decent amount of pockets or space for outdoor activities and gear. North Face always pays attention to details and takes multiple considerations when designing it for the consumer.

I went back and forth comparing different styles for my daughter going into high school. I wanted the roomiest backpack for books and large binders...And of course something that would last. I called customer service and a great associate gave me some great advice. This backpack is a perfect size...it fits books large binders and all other school day essentials. Highly recommend!!!

My daughter loves this bag!

This backpack is well-designed and durable. My primary use for this is carrying gear while traveling and hiking. So far it has held up perfectly, and I can tell by the construction of the bag that will last for a long time. My only criticism is that I wish it were a little lighter, but at a little over 2lbs, there's not much to complain about. The colors are great, there were so many choices that I actually had trouble choosing which I wanted. I love this bag and look forward to many more adventures with it.
