Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I have a ton of backpacks in all different sizes for different needs. This is perfect for when I need to carry more than just a laptop. North Face backpacks have always been great for organization with all the different pockets and they're comfortable as well even when full packed. The softer lined small pocket in the top is nice too when you don't want to scratch your phone or glasses.

I use this backpack for school and just everyday use! I also take it on day hikes and it is so comfortable to walk with and it has more than enough room for everything I need! This backpack goes with me almost everywhere because it's the perfect companion!

I use this backpack everyday in college; my laptop and books fit perfectly. The best thing about this backpack is that I don't have to worry about my stuff (especially laptop) getting wet ever. It has so many compartments, which makes everything so organized and easy to find. The padding is great and it makes my daily load so bearable and I feel like it is really good for my spine. I haven't been complaining about my back pain ever since I use this back pack. Such a good investment !

This backpack was a gift for my husband. He uses it for work, to carry laptop, supplies, etc...

Quality product

Had my last Recon for 9 years. Still going strong, but with some wear and tear from school/traveling, I figured it was time for an upgrade. Wasn't a hard decision to go with the Recon again. The shoulder straps are much more comfortable and the backpack feels sturdier without sacrificing comfort. The medium size and well thought out interior make it a go-to backpack for everything from commuting to traveling.

The laptop sleeve can fit pretty big laptops, and comfortably while doing so! The many pockets are helpful for keeping little things aside from the big things. Carrying it around campus feels so much better than past backpacks I've had. Recommend 10/10

This product is not only cute, but durable, comfortable, and has plenty of space!

I use this product for school but will also be using it for all my travel/hiking/adventure needs. My old backpack was hurting my back everyday when I would walk to class. I was hesisitant to buy a backpack that was this expensive but after wearing it for a while now, I can tell you that it is worth it. My back feels so much better already. It is padded but it also more rigid (in a great way) than my old backpack. My only complaint about this backpack is that I feel like I can not fit quite as much in it as I could my old one. I love all the compartments it has and I feel like it has led me to be more organized for school.

Have used the recon for all of my high school and college careers. Also use this bag for track and field. Fits everything you could ever need and keeps it all organized! Love the double water bottle holders as well. Also keeps your laptop very safe. So much love for this backpack and hope the north face always carries it

Love this bag! It does a great job and is very sturdy and well made

I use it for school

i use this bag for school easy to get my laptop and books in and out

I use it for school. It is very comforting and it hold a lot of stuff which is great.

Awesome backpack!! It hasn't let me down yet. There is a pocket for everything which is great. It is very comfortable once you get the straps adjusted.

The bag is perfect for school and work. It also doubles as a small weekender bag! Buy this bag!

I love the backpack, but wish it was a little bigger.

I like the way it is padded because it makes carrying heaving textbooks really easy. The zippers make for a great space for organizing smaller items as well, and the overall look is very simplistic which is exactly what I was looking for.

My son, who is a freshman at High School loves this backpack. Easy to load and unload, comfortable and stylish!

After purchasing this bag, I just asked "where have you been all my life? It basically solved a lot of problems I have with backpacks.

I use this daily going to school. It has plenty of room for all my essentials and workout clothes while maintaining a slim profile. Plan to take it with me traveling as carry on.

This backpack has the perfect amount of room and I love all the little pockets! It's very comfortable to wear even when carrying something heavy!!

I purchased this back pack for my daughter who is in College. She already had one in a different color all through high school and still uses that one for travel. After 4 years of heavy use it still looks great with an occasional trip in the washing machine and it looks brand new again. These back pack's are well made and built to last. There are many compartments and the straps adjust for all body types. Thank you Northface for making such quality products!

I use this backpack as a school backpack but it would also work great for things like day hikes. I was very timid to buy a new backpack as I was very attached to my old one but I absolutely love this bag. Very comfortable, and it has a lot of space but is not heavy or bulky at all!

Got this for my daughter. She liked the style and comfort and I liked the quality and reputation.
