Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

This back was great, more then I expected. I purchase the backpack for a trip my husband I were doing with our 14 month old. I knew that I was going to carry around a lot of his stuff and I needed a back that would hold a lot and have many compartment. This bag did it all, just when I thought I couldn't fit anymore to my surprise I was able to add more. The quality of the bag is great and it was also very comfy considering everything I stuffed in it.

I brought this backpack for my oldest son that is a high school freshman. He needed a new backpack with enough packets to fit his books, laptop and other nick nacks. Also durable and of course a must for a teenager stylish. He loves the backpack overall. The counted the days for the backpack to arrive.

I bought this backpack for my daughter for school. She absolutely loves it! With all the books and computer she has carry it keeps her back safe and stable .

Use this for school everyday. Love the bookbag and really enjoy the separate laptop pocket. I wish the other bug pocket went all the way down instead of half way but other than that I have no comolaints

This is my second North Face backpack, my last backpack (a Borealis) lasted a solid 4 years of being used every single day for heavy books and used for 4 months of traveling throughout Europe. This new backpack has all the features I loved about the old one including the waist strap and many small compartments to keep things organized in the front. One minor inconvenience is that the separate laptop pocket is too big for my laptop, so I can feel the laptop moving front to back with every step. A laptop sleeve in the main compartment works better for holding the laptop in place.

This backpack has held up through 8 years of undergrad and graduate school. I was hesitant to spend so much on a backpack when I started college, but I'm glad I did. I have carried heavy books in this backpack and used it on three overseas backpacking trips. It has really held up and is comfortable to carry. I use the pocket in the back for my laptop (13in macbook) and it's kept it safe.

My son used the backpack for school. It is roomy enough to fit everything he needs!

Very roomy and practical.

I love North Face products and this bag is no exception. Made with excellent material and good size for my to take to work, gym, cycling, etc... Excellent backpack.

Exactly the backpack my daughter was looking for. She loves it.

Got this for a friend as a gift and they were so content with everything about the quality of the backpack!

With her crazy-heavy textbooks and computer, my daughter has gone through so many knapsacks. Granted, it's only September, but so far, this seems by far the best one to date - super durable and well-made. Plus, a guarantee!

I wear this every day for my college classes, and it works great. I've had it for a couple weeks and it's alarming how much lighter it is compared to my last backpack. I haven't found any cons. Would buy again!

I love the way it looks.

The best bag ever, exactly what I wanted, so incredibly practical and looks and feels great.

I use this product for school, it has plenty of room for everything and I really like how it has a special pocket for my computer!

Student athlete- high school. Lots of paper, books, laptop and gear

The colors are nice, not seen everywhere. Different pocket compartments, one padded for the laptop. It is not too big. Everything fits in its own place.

My 17 year old daughter is very pleased with the backpack!! She says its very comfortable, and really likes the small pocket in the front!

It's a very spacious backpack that can be used for many different things and has a good quality feel.

Love the color and style. Love that I can switch from using it for work and school carrying my laptop and iPad, to a stylish carryon when I travel. It's perfect, spacious when I need it to be, and compact with the compression straps when I want it to be.

I use the backpack for school, a lot of space for books paperwork, folders and computer

Awesome bag, north face never disappoints.

Was very happy to find that this backpack (advertised for a 15" laptop) fits my 17" Dell laptop!

I use this backpack in senior year for high school very roomy and nice. I get so many compliments on the design and the color!
