Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

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 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!

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 enjoy this backpack, I've had the older Recon model for 4 years before getting this new backpack and it's something I'm getting use to and something completely difffent but I love the backpack. My only con is if I wanted it to stand up straight when I leave it on the floor it just falls over. Wished it stayed more in place.

I had the yavapai backpack for a long time and have been thinking about getting the recon backpack for a long time! I was really excited to get my hands on one of these, and its indeed a pretty good quality backpack, however, the compartment is so much smaller than it was before, like so so so much smaller!!!! The first and second compartment wasn't as deep as it used to be, and the additional laptop compartment take up too much space that makes the main compartment smaller & couldn't fit a lot!! I love the backpack but I wish I would've bought the older version online or at outlet for less of a price and a overall larger compartment!

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!

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.

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

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

I bought this backpack to walk around my college campus. It is very attractive and lightweight, but I have been very frustrated by how the backpack is unable to stand up by itself once placed on the ground. This makes reaching into the bag to get more things throughout class very difficult. The bag could've easily been redesigned to include a firmer bottom in the main pocket.

Awesome bag, north face never disappoints.

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

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

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.

NF Recon is such an amazing bag. I have a two-hour commute to school pretty much every day and this has been my daily driver. So far it has been amazing. Super useful, ultra durable and amazing design.

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!

Spacious!

My 5th grader loves it! She loves the colors and all the pockets. It seems to have less room than I thought it would after she puts her chromebook in it. Also, it doesn't want to stand upright.

This backpack is the best backpack I've ever had. I use it for everything. I've gone on a couple day hikes, I use it for class every week, weekend trips, and I will be using it for study abroad. This backpack came with everything I needed and was such a good investment.

My Daughter uses this product to carry and protect her books, computer and personal belongings, she loves it. Very comfortable to wear and the colors are attractive for a teenager.

I use this for school. It is light and dos not Hurt my back i can put my books in it which are a lot of books.

It is wonderful for every day use even with all the heavy books in high school

Love this backpack! Perfect for College students who are always on the go!!

This product is great, enough space for everything and easy to carry around when carrying to many books inside. There's plenty of different colors and features! I totally recommend!
