Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Use for travel and school

I use this backpack for travel between all my college classes. It has the perfect amount of space for all my books, binders, notebooks, and materials I use throughout my day. It also functions well on the trails as I do day hikes often, it's super durable and rather water resistant as well.

Very much worth the money. My oldest has used hers all through high school and college

This backpack is very spcious andattractive looking. I feel so awesome wearing it.

I am a college student and I use this backpack to haul binders, books, and my laptop. It's a great durable backpack.

I purchased this for my son for high school. He carries a heavy load and says that this backpack is more comfortable than any he has had in the past.

This is my school backpack. I love all the smaller pockets, which are great for my phone, wallet, and keys. This backpack is much more durable than my last one, which I had to retire because it had a huge hole in it by then end of last semester. I will say the colors of mine are darker in real life than they appear online, but I still like!

Nice clean look,

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

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.

Looks dope, great durability, spacious

Love the inside pockets

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

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.

High school backpack

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.

Perfect for all activities.

Awesome backpack would recommend

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.

It does make a difference that this is designed for women
