Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I use this for college - it's amazing! Comfortable with all the heavy books I have to carry.

Nice clean look,

Love the inside pockets

Looks dope, great durability, spacious

This pack was purchased for use while day hiking in the Smoky Mountains and for an upcoming North Rim to South Rim hike in the Grand Canyon. My day hikes usually range from 10 miles to 24 miles and I usually pack a rain parka, extra shoes, food / snacks, plenty of water, etc. etc. The size is perfect for the items I pack. The Rim to Rim hike is upcoming and is a 24 mile hike and I'll need a change of clothes, toiletries, etc. since I'll be spending the night at the South Rim and catching a shuttle back to the North rim the following day. This pack will be perfect for my excursion. I've already used it several times in the Smokies and its been the perfect pack.

I'm a college student and use this to carry my books and computer around everyday from class and to work and i'm very satisfied i bought it. Good investment.

Holds its shape after much use. Fits nicely under aircraft seat and is easily retrieved. A backpack office that holds everything that I need to conduct daily activities.

Best backpack I've ever had! It has enough room for textbooks and binders and even has a nice separate pocket for laptops. The only issue is the water bottle pockets wear out easily but north face will fix them for you since they have a lifetime warranty.

I used this for school, and it lasted me a good 3 years. It's still function-able and in good shape, it's just time for a new color. Evenly distributes weight, and so so spacious. Highly recommend.

Daily use backpack

High school backpack

Perfect for all activities.

Both my children have used NF back packs through all there school years, they are so well made and stylish that they actually carried my children through more than one school year. Sorry, didn't need to buy one every year. My daughter specifically asked for one for her college, because of the pockets, water bottle holder, gym shoes and waterproof for her electronics. And with Minnesota winters, similar to Siberia, these backpacks withstand snow, freezing, temps. Being dropped, thrown, and everything else my kids did to these backpacks.

Perfect for college!! Holds laptop and waterproof for those rainy day walks to class.

Looking high and low for a reliable replacement for my tattered decade-old backpack, I came across this pack. First trip report: excellent. Slim and lightweight, but high capacity. I'm fairly confident this will be my travel companion to carry me through the 20's.

Awesome backpack would recommend

It does make a difference that this is designed for women

I will be using this backpack to get me through graduate school to be my masters for Speech pathology!

Not bulky during small hauls, looks and feels great. When you start to fill it up ... "Mind Blown" at the capacity of this thing and still looks and feels great. Remains solid on back even with a full load of heavy tools or big laptop on board. From gym clothes to drills and batteries perfect all around pack!

Love this backpack, just the right size without being too big or heavy or having too many specialized pockets!

I was looking for a light hiking backpack that I could also use for the office and this backpack is wonderful! Plenty of pockets with great room.

Great product with lots of room. Color just as shown on the website.

Just bought this backpack for school and the quality is great. It fits a lot of binders, and the laptop sleeve is very convenient. Great design for students with lots of pockets and compartments. The shipping was very quick and came right on time.

This backpack is awesome! Seems very durable
