Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

My daughter loves her backpack! We ordered from NorthFace to get the color she wanted.

Straps are not comfy

I love North Face bags but this was a disappointment. I have used many North Face bags and feel like the bagpacks are getting smaller. I got this bag for college and I could barely fit 2 1-inch binders, 3 notebooks, and my laptop. I did use it for air travel, however the only reason it worked for travel for me was because I only had my laptop and my clothes were rolled up. Overall, great bag but horrible for a college student.

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

i'm using this for school and have a few 2 inch binders, a laptop, a notebook, and a pencil bag and it all fits! it's also super cute!

Purchased for fresman year at college. Beautifully designed bag for computer, books, and class essentials. Comfortable and stylish.

If you bring your computer and other electronics everywhere, this is the pack for you.

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.

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

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.

This was purchased for my high school senior

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

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!

Got a matching Hydro flask, am ready for anything!

Really enjoy this product!

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 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 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.

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

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.

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.
