Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I bought this backpack four years ago when I started college. I wanted a backpack that would last me through college and beyond. This backpack has done just that! It always fits everything I need while remaining comfortable on my back. I have also traveled around the world with this backpack, from England to Russia to Singapore; it has held up every trip. I don't currently have this new and upgraded version, but I'm sure it will perform just as well. Highly recommended.

This backpack is the perfect size for my 14 year old. It's big enough to hold all her high school books without being too bulky or getting in the way. The construction is heavy duty without adding too much weight.

This was a gift and my boyfriend loved the gift. He is so happy with it and if he is happy, im very happy too.

This was a gift, but I loved it so much I bought on for myself as well. It's the perfect backpack for me. It is lightweight, but fits a surprising amount of stuff inside it. I am a teacher that uses it daily on my work commute as well as for casual recreation purposes. I wanted a backpack that wasn't incredibly oversized, could handle carrying everything I need, is comfortable, and looks good. This one easily checked off everything on my list and I would recommend it without hesitation.

I had high expectations for this backpack and it didn't fail me! Perfect for any occasion I'm out and carries my heavy textbook without much discomfort. Would highly recommend!

I am a high school student. I love that I can carry ALL my books and MacBook in my Recon. I like ALL the compartments to easily access my school id and cash.

Great backpack, nice colors, 30L but doesn't look bulky, good organizer

I love it. It has everything I need plus some. The only down fall is binders in an out a struggle sometimes, but that might be because i have a lot of stuff in it.

use it for traveling and going to the office

I use this backpack every day at school. I bought it because my old backpack was hurting my back. Since I have switched to the North Face Recon, I can carry more stuff without my back hurting. Great product.

I use this product for College and i have enough room to fit in all my school books. On the weekends i use it for back packing and it works wonders. I highly recommend this product

I thing that this backpack is the best out their and you fell really comfortable. When you are at school you do not have to keep looking back to make sure no one is stealing you stuff.

Love the product. Works great for school or adventure. Thoughtful attention device compartments.

Really like this product. Use for high school and it fits all my necessities

I use this backpack for school and outdoor use and I love it. It has made organizing so easy. You can seriously fit so much in it. I love that the laptop sleeve is padded as well. I always feel like it's secure now. I love that the straps are adjustable. The only thing I have a slight complain on is it hurts my shoulders a little but that's only because the backpack is helping me correct my posture, so I shouldn't even complain. I've taken it hiking once and it was perfect. I highly recommend to any student or hiker out there. Also you can not beat the lifetime warranty!

I needed a lightweight yet sturdy bag work work and commuting. The Recon has exceeded my expectation on every level. Love the style, functionality and ease of use. Great padded compartment for my laptop. I would definitely recommend this product.

Very nice looking and comfortable.

If you are looking for a backpack for your school life, commuting, office life, get this great backpack! It is really comportable to carry your stuffs during everyday! It has absolutely large capacity enough to put 12 beer cans in the backpack! Nice capacity, fabulous cushioning for back, good design, the best backpack ever! ;-)

The backpack overall is nice! It is very comfortable and the buckles come in handy to relieve heavy weight on my back/shoulders! There is a good amount of padding and lots of pockets. I do wish there was more room inside the actual backpack, I feel like I have to smash everything in there.

I use it for school everyday and for fun adventures on the weekends. It works like a bream for both and is very easy to navigate and move things around for best acess

I got this backpack for my girlfriend, and she loves it! Great support, lightweight, and stylish looks!
