Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Seems to be a really nice backpack, especially with the front expandable pocket for shoes or whatever.

Love this backpack- color is awesome. Using for school- holds laptop, books, extra essentials, but not too big. Two side pockets for water and extra back pocket for quick access items. Lightweight, good padding, durable. Thanks!

I upgraded from a surge and borealis which is pretty cool. Now I'm a senior at UNCW and all my books and notebooks fit and the weight is so light. I'm so glad I made this purchase at such a great price!! North face never lets me or my family's needs down b

I bought this backpack for my 13 year old little sister. AND SHE LOVES IT! Finding the right bag for her is difficult because she has a physical handicap, and year after year Northface backpacks come through. It has plenty of space for her books, and all the little extras teenage girls carry. And it looks cool too, which is most important to her. This backpack helped to firmly secure the brother of the year award...again. Lol.

My daughter uses this backpack for high school and for casual weekend trips or hiking. She's so happy with it because it stands up strong to a lot of use and it's aesthetically pleasing, not to mention all the pockets and the protective laptop sleeve. Her only wish was that it had a wider width at the bottom for her school books. It's a high quality backpack that she can use for a long time! We are happy!

I use this for my school backpack. It fits a lot of material and I really enjoy it.

Using for school!

I love this backpack it's my second one. Will buy again!

Like the color very much. Picture online is true to image.

Great backpack. Got this for my college age son and he loves it. Fits his computer and supplies comfortably.

I bought this backpack because my precious North Face one (purchased 4+ years ago) finally started breaking down. I generally use the backpack for school (I am now a college sophomore) and for traveling as a carry-on. Similarly to the old pack it's very lightweight, but can still hold a lot and is comfortable (that said, the straps are a little scratchy on my arms when I'm wearing a tank top). I really like the new laptop and tablet pockets, they make me feel like my devices are a lot safer then in previous versions of the pack. I purchased the blue (it says green on the site but clearly is blue) and grey diamond design backpack and love the simple, but fun design. I would definitely recommend this backpack to everyone as it is durable, functional, and stylish.

Yes - this was a gift... to a College student at Western Carolina University who has very limited resources and was in desperate need of a new backpack , She was afraid to ask if we could possibly help her out with this expense, but with some moderate coaxing, we got her to acknowledge it sure would be nice to have a new one ! We made it happen for her, and she is absolutely gracious, grateful, and ever so thankful to now be able to keep her books, papers, etc., dry and safe for the upcoming academic year in the mountains of our beautiful North Carolina.

After a visit to Yosemite we were inspired to get our son a North Face bag for school.

I use the product at school and it works fantastic for carrying books or anything you need.

This backpack from NorthFace is amazing. Now with all the space and padding I can run and walk around easily with a backpack on my shoulders and going down and up the stairs is much easier on my back when I have a heavy backpack that day.

Going to THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY and will be a Freshman Engineering Student.

Currently using the backpack on a trip as my carry on bag. Plan to use this when riding my bicycle and need to carry items to classes.

Love the protection for my computer and there is so much room for all of my school stuff and more!

I'm happy with this backpack. Good quality.

I bought this backpack to use at college and I love it! It is plenty big and sturdy. The colors and style are also very cute.

We can all agree that a simple material thing as a backpack can't change your life, but oh boy, it sure has given me motivation. I've been the type of person that gets motivated by simple things. And now.. With my Recon backpack I no longer feel the burden of waking up earlier and going to college, I feel motivated! Wearing my Recon reminds me of the wide world that's out there. And that a thing as a "simple" backpack can do wonders for me. So I'm not telling you that by buying this backpack your life will change.. But it can certainly give motivate you to do things you simply left behind.

I use this backpack for college. It had plenty of room for my binder, textbooks, and laptop for that day. It's super comfortable.

I've been using this backpack for my whole middle school, high school year I love this back pack! It's super durable, and can take a lot of stuff. I recommend this backpack for either traveling or even school, its perfect for most everything!

Its great for school, space for my mac, and i use for traveling. The pockets come in handy for both
