Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

bought this for my daughter for college. Works great and she loves it.

My daughter loves this backpack for school. Great size. Great pockets. Great all around bag.

Great size capacity for carrying heavy loads of books without added stress on shoulders and back! Only downside is that when full, it tips over when sitting it down instead of staying upright!

I use this backpack for medical school, and I love it. I can fit all my books and a day's worth of food and beverage to camp out at the library. The water bottle sleeves are excellent. The laptop sleeve is elevated so you can't hit your computer on the ground. Plenty of pockets for organizing, tons of room if needed but thin if more on the empty side. Overall, best backpack I have ever had, and with the quality I expect it to last.

Great pack. I highly recommend it for day trips or school.

I bought this for my husband to use for work and school - it's a great backpack!

This product is great for carrying heavy books to and from class and for packing for a day hike in nature! It has a laptop sleeve that is great for hey laptop and it is perfect for traveling and that person on the go.

My wife uses it for travel, camping, and hauling around gear for kids on day trips

I ordered this for my daughter who is a student for Christmas. We were very pleased with the service and how fast it shipped!

I really like the lightweight feel of the book bag.

Very comfortable. I use mine for school mostly

I use TNF bag almost everyday and i like it very much. I would like buy more products of the North Face and also would like to recommend The North Face to my friends and people around me. To be honest with you, I already had some TNF products like outwears and shoes.

Backpack for school

School bag... Love the look & size

I bought this for my husband as a work backpack. Loved all the compartments and the comfort!!!

Awesome pack!!!!!

Love this backpack! Gorgeous color and style - perfect DIR college!

This North Face Recon bag is incredible. Granted, I am reviewing the old version from 2004 ish. I purchased this Recon pack in my Sophmore year of High School in 2004! This pack has now been in nearly 20 countries across four continents. I'm 28 now and am blown away that I continue to use this pack EVERY day for work, gym, and day hikes. I'm tempted to buy the new version which is why I'm on here writing a review.. but my current pack has a lot of sentimental value to it :) . We'll see, but I can tell you, I bought this pack in 2004 and everything, zippers, the netting in the back, EVERYTHING is in perfect shape. THe only wear and tear visible is the white north face label stitched into the pack. It's basically brown at this point but obviously that doesn't matter. Unbelievable pack and still in style 12 years later. Thanks North Face, oh, and REI for selling it to me!

you can use it everywhere, anywhere all year round

For school (college). It is comfortable and light. There are enough compartments to fit all my supplies. It is not bulky which is a plus.

Great quality.

I use this bag everyday... from carrying my computer to clothes for the gym... this bag works great!

I bought this backpack for school. I've used North Face backpacks for years now. They are my absolute favorite. Great quality and hold up for years on end. Great return/warranty policy too. I bought the black. It's sleek and professional, and has more than enough room. It is lightweight and awesome. So happy with this purchase.

Great backpack ! Would highly recommend

Purchased this backpack for my 14 year old daughter for school. Her old VB backpack did not hold up to the weight of her books, binders, laptop. She needed more room and sturdier construction. This pack fit the bill perfectly!! And bonus: she loves the color!!! Well done NorthFace!
