Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

My 16-year-old daughter loves this book bag. She had a NF book bag last year and loved it also...hence the purchase of a 2nd one for this year in a different color. :-) Perfect book bag for high school students.

I use this pack for school and outdoor adventures alike, and it holds up wonderfully.

I use this product for school everyday. I am a sophomore in college and it has plenty of room to fit everything and more! The laptop compartment is my favorite feature that the backpack offers.

Great for carrying books.

This is actually the best bag I've brought. It's a little pricey but it's actually worth the money. I would recommend to a friends. BIG THUMPS UP

This is the best back my son has ever owned!! It is not only great looking but also very comfortable. He carries lots of books in high school and the the padded back and shoulder straps makes it very easy to wear.

Great because it has features that other backpacks don't have.

I've only owned this bag for a few weeks (Recon Gry/Orng). So far, I'm a fan of the design and layout, but obviously I haven't been able to put it to any big tests yet. Built into the back is some sort of plastic support, which I'm a huge fan of. Keeps it straight. Not sure if it can be removed, but someone who is looking to fold up/bunch up the bag might find this as a disadvantage, but I like that it doesn't slouch over when I set it on the ground.

My daughter uses it for school to carry I pad air and I feel it protects well i also bought another one for my oldest daughter that take her Mac notebook to school

My daughter bought it for school. Loves it. Fits all her stuff and her comper

I bought this backpack for my daughter to use for school this year. There is plenty of room and it is so comfortable to carry. I plan to use it when we travel.

Would love for a little more room but works great for school!

Love this backpack....perfect for my new school!

I am a college student and I can honestly fit all of my books, laptop, paper, etc in here without ruining anything.

I ordered the grey/orange new Recon to replace my backpack for college, and I love it! The new design is extremely comfortable and intuitive. The pocket placements are perfect and I know I will utilize them all. Definitely an improvement from my last school backpack!

I got this backpack for college, and it has been perfect for every need. It has alot of space to pit binders in and a place for your computer. I would recommend this backpack to anyone.

Daughter is using this backpack for high school!! Everything has a place to go in this backpack!! She loves it!! Color is exactly what she wanted and is exactly how it was described!!

I bought the women's recon backpack for my freshman daughter. She absolutely loves the style, comfort, and versatility this pack has to offer. There is a special compartment for everything--laptop, notebooks, cell phone, pens/pencils, etc.

I love how the backpack is extremely durable and very comfortable when there is a lot of things in it and when having to walk long distances.

I just use this project for a school book bag. I had a recon before and went back to buy another one because I loved it so much. It looks great and minimalizes heavy loads making it comfortable and fashionable. I would recommend this bag to anybody from the avid outdoorsman to an average student.

Has the perfect amount of room!!! Enough room for: a 14" laptop, a 1in binder 4 notebooks with 70 pages each, two water bottles, a tablet, school supplies(pencils,pens,highlighters ect.) and a phone and various other smaller things!! Also, unlike any other backpack I have had it doesn't hurt my back! I love it and would totally make the same choice if I had to make it again! It works well for me because it has enough room to pack for my busy schedule! I have all meals and everything I need for my 16 hour days!

I bought this for use while I'm on campus and it's perfect for that. I love the suspended laptop sleeve so my laptop doesn't hit the bottom. There are pocket for anything and everything. Very spacious. Great buy.

I bought 2 backpacks for my girls. One is in 8th grade and the other is a sophomore. There is so much room in the backpacks, plus so many places to put their items. This is our first time getting backpacks at Northface, but I have heard nothing but good things.

I use this backpack for school and is great on my back when carrying supplies

Bought it for my daughter for school. So far so good.
