Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Used for high school. Purchased for looks and lifetime guarantee.

I love the rose gold detailing

Backpack looks great and fits all my school materials. Love that it is so comfortable.

I think that the backpack is great because it feel comfortable.

This is a great backpack and has plenty of features. I like the deep side pockets for a water bottle and/or umbrellas. I wish the adjustable straps were shorter or had some way for them not to dangle. I do like the fact that the waist straps are removable.

This bag is for my daughter for eighth grade. She picked it out and she loves the colors (white/pink). It holds her Mac Air lap top and is quite comfortable. It was a good choice!

I've wanted a north face backpack for a while because they don't look like they are bulging at the seams and it seemed a little smaller than my last backpack. I love this backpack. It's very lightweight and doesn't it add extra weight to my already heavy load. It fits my 4 thick spiral journals, two composition journals, a planner, a workbook, a novel, two pencil pouches, and my lunch. But it doesn't look like it at all. I love the two water bottle pockets, because they are so convenient. The only thing a little uncomfortable is that the first few days the straps are very firm and dig into your shoulders. But once it is broken in the backpack is very comfy.

I really like this backpack. Fits a lot of things.

This a great backpack.The North Face company is the best the lifetime warranty makes it the best because the quality is so good you never have too use the warranty.

I use this bag for my ever day commute - lunch, coffee, laptop, kindle, power brick,etc. and there is more than enough room but without feeling like I'm carrying a gigantic travel bag. But at the same time it's perfect for travel as a large carry on or even as a weekend travel bag if you can pack light. Really great all around functionality and a cool, sleek look that contours nicely to my back. Very happy with this backpack.

Bought this as a college graduation gift for friend's children. My own children bought the Recon backpack when they went off to college and they loved it! They are out of college now and still using the backpack...stood up really well! It's the perfect size for a laptop, notebooks, jacket and water bottle.

Use the backpack for travel. Has plenty of room, love it!

Epic

Holds everything and then some.

I use this everyday to Carry my lunch to work along with other items I need on a daily basis it frees up my hands and is easy to manage I can can get everything in it I need plus more and it's very convenient because I can put everything in one place

I actually have the older Recon, the one before this series. It is the best back you will ever get, it is VERY durable. I have had mine for about 5 years and the straps are still bright, and it still looks the exact same, NO wear and tears AT ALL. Very easy to clean as well! The only reason I'm getting another one is that I want a different color.

I used trhis product to travel too all three of my jobs. I can fit all my work uniforms and my computer and snacks for my siblings. not only is it very usefull and lightweight its stylish and matches with all my outfits.

It's perfect for travel!

Great looking, durable bag! I have owned several Northface backpacks and they are super solid and stylish! Northface customer service is fantastic as well!

I use my backpack primarily for school and travel. Really like that the backpack has a pocket designated for laptop/electronics. There are also many pockets that I did not realize when ordering online! It was smaller than what I anticipated, but where the size lacks, everything else like the pockets and storage make up for it. Would highly recommend for graduate or even undergraduate student!

This backpack is amazing. I love how comfortable it feels.

I use this backpack for school, for day trips, and for travel. Most recently flew to Florida for a beach trip and carried everything I needed in it. The durability and all the places to hook stuff on really help and it's comfortable, despite being heavier when packed full for the trip. Plus I can fit my 17" laptop in it as well which it's not supposed to be able to. Love this backpack! As always huge fan of TNF!! Never have had a problem with any of the products I've purchased.

Graduation gift for college

I love this backpack for commuting back and forth to campus and for work. Great design and fits everything I need.

For the last 10 years I only use north face backpacks and they are amazing! Will only ever get north face
