Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Everyday bag

A great choice for myself! I bought this bag last year . I always look online to check reviews,look on company websites then make a choice for myself. I have used this as day bag as a, travel bag, carry on flight bag,and most recently i bought a canon DSLR and 2 lenses with a with a camera bag to hold all. that bag fits in the main compartment along with some extra clothing! So this summer 2019 i'm doing a 4 day camping/fishing trip and one of the days (weather permitting) a canoe and portage a couple of lakes away with this TNF Recon,just need a good rain cover just in case it downpours. Thanks much to THE NORTH FACE

We bought this for my college age son. He loves it. He said it is super comfortable for walking all over campus.

Being a student that has to lug around 5-6 books and/or binders daily, I needed a comfortable, but extremely durable backpack. This backpack has been awesome! The straps make the heavy load seem not too bad. The seams/stitching are extra tough and withholding of the weight and activity related to daily use.

This not your basic, low-tier Jansport backpack that everyone and their younger sibling wears. This is what you get when you put together versatility and style, for a backpack that delivers comfort, and is functional enough to handle whatever you need it for. Unfortunately, you won't be getting the coveted 'Supreme' brand collaboration that is highly sought after by 14-year-old kids and grown men who still dress as the former. However, 'The North Face' is a brand that is strong enough to stand on its own two feet, and as such, it deserves its recognition for possibly being the best backpack I've owned for school thus far. Well done, 10/10, would wear again and again.

This is a great everyday bag. Perfect for skiing and going to work.

Use it for college, very comfortable, roomy, and stulish!

I ride my bike to work and need a backpack that's roomy and comfortable plus has pockets and pouches for all my stuff that I take with me. This pack is excellent and the materials and construction are top quality.

I love this backpack. It's the only backpack that fulfills my needs and doesn't make me feel like an 8 year old child going to school. I use it every day to carry my Macbook, gym gear and other items into the office. - It's so well formed, structured and sturdy - it's sits really comfortably on my back and doesn't sag or make my spine curve. - It feels slim and not too bulky because you can distribute items in it vertically - i.e. stack them up on top of each other, to prevent items all sagging at the bottom. - There are loads of pockets - I have an area for my Macbook, a separate area for gym clothes (to keep the other parts fresh), and another area for small personal items. I have a little section for everything so I never have to fumble or scramble around. - The bottle pockets and open front pocket are really stretchy and tight so you don't have to worry about things sliding out. - It looks smart and professional for a large backpack. I don't feel like a child wearing it, I feel like a normal office professional. - Travel wise, it fits beautifully under a plane seat/bus/train rack due to it not getting too bulky when filled. Really happy with my investment!

Great for school and activities! Very roomy and has great padding for computer and other electronics.

Great backpack on campus-plenty if roomformy laptop, books, and plenty of pockets for all my gear.

Great back. Roomy, well made, and looks good.

I love the backpack. I expected more room in the large section, but it's fine because its main purpose is my laptop. Still fits my needs.

Second one purchased, the last one lasted 10 plus years, from middle school to high school and summer vacation. Still usable, but it time get a new one.

Great for college!

i use this for high school everyday. it's durable so it can hold heavy textbooks and laptops. very comfortable on my back and easy to access everything.

My wife and I originally bought an older version of this bag to use as a baby bag. We were frustrated with the lack of space and durability of many other baby bags and decided to give a real pack a try. No turning back! Fits everything for the kids and more! Having the expandable front pocket it clutch. Using this bag has been so much better than using a traditional baby bag. With some innovation and design geared towards that use and demographic, The North Face would probably crush it in that category. Since then we've purchased another to use for ourselves during travel and other miscellaneous activities. Highly recommend!

This backpack has helped me through my school year a lot ! It's comfortable padding supports my back all day. My last backpack was incredibly heavy and large which left my back in pain. With my new backpack, I have space for all my books and school supplies. Plus , it's super cute and instyle.

I use this backpack for school and it is such an improvement from my old backpack! It is so much more comfortable and durable! Overall great product!

Would really recommend this backpack to anyone that will use it for school.

Backpack used for school.

I bought this for daughter who is a senior in highschool - she wanted a backpak vs a bag to carry her stuff to school in. We got it and tried to put all of her binders -1inch 11/2 inch in size along with notebooks, they fit and then her laptop in the other section, it fit but made it tight, but could adjust the straps. This is a great backpak but does not accomodate for a 15 inch laptop or bigger. Would accomodate a chromebook much easier but her school one broke and they have no replacements.

Bought this for myself sister because she like mine. She loves the color and how it works for many things. She uses it for work and daily carrying the things she needs.

Use this for school and when traveling. Love the compartments, easy access.

Love this pack! Bought it since I'm entering med school and my pack of 6+ years finally bit the dust! Plenty of room and nice aesthetic for trucking around campus. Some compartments are tricky to get used to but overall very functional.
