Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I bought this backpack for my 11th grade in high school and highly recommend! I had in the past a lot of trouble finding the right backpack that wasn't too big or too small and I'd honestly say this backpack is the perfect medium. I was also always skeptical of Northface backpacks because of the price, but this one is honestly worth it. There are plenty of pockets to fit all of the little things like pencils, calculators, car keys, gum, etc. But there's also a really nice big pocket that fits 2 of my binders and my laptop and my accordion! Thoroughly impressed with this bag!

Super cute backpack for my high school junior daughter! Plenty of room for everything she needs.

I am a university student and use this to carry books and computer

I use this backpack for school everyday. Feels very lightweight even though I carry my Mac laptop,iPad, planner, and notebooks for all my classes. Really love this backpack!

This backpack seems to magically lighten the weight and makes it easy for my back and shoulders.

So I bought a guys backpack b/c I LOVE the colors and it such a nice backpack. I wish the straps were like the female backpacks but same color. Would definitely buy it again. This is a keeper and it will be of use as I travel and do other adventure things plus taking classes

The Women's Recon backpack can be used for everything! I have used mine for school purposes and for hiking/backpacking purposes! I would most definitely recommend!

simply incredible, I have to carry my laptop that is like last century, super heavy and additionally my work utensils and with this suitcase you do not feel the weight, it is incredible, my back and shoulders amannnn this suitcase. the weight spreads symmetrically and argonomically which makes my shoulders and back do not suffer from the weight of my laptop. what a good suitcase thank you, never change.

Needed a new backpack for college and it's perfect! It fits all my books and laptop without causing it to be extremely heavy! Highly recommend for college students!

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 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.

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.

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.

Very roomy and practical.

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

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

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!

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

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 love the way it looks.

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!
