Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

Bought this pack for my daughter who has had several packs - all which were unable to manage her heavy load of books, laptop, gym gear, lunch and band instrument. She loves it; its durable and functional.

I use this product for school. It is very easy to use and carry around all of my things that I need.

This backpack makes my back feel lighter even though I have large load of books. Lots of space that I need with convenient pockets everywhere.

Bought this for my 14 year old son for school to accommodate his laptop, books, lunch and athletic gear. He loves it. Just enough padding without being bulky. He loves it!

I use it for college and school best book bags ever

I bought this backpack for travel as a carry on. It is nice upgrade with many pockets, zipper compartments and other features. I bought my daughter the Surge in August for school. After seeing how much it would hold and how durable it was, I ordered one for myself. I look forward to taking my new Recon backpack to Europe this summer! We love all Northface products!

Fits my 15" mac book, two full sized textbooks, a planner, a binder and a notebook, my tablet in the second compartment, lots of writing supplies, my wallet, glasses.... everything! Feels comfortable and sturdy to wear, easy to carry a "heavy" book load.

Love the color, style and the quality!

I bought this for my girlfriend - she is starting law school next year. She loves the great functionality and sporty style!

I am a full time student who needs a lot of room in a book bag! This bag is perfect! It is not bulky but fits many books and notebooks! The pockets are designed for awesome organization! This bag is also sooooo comfortable! I never worry about hunching over or having my back hurt when I get to class! Would recommend and buy again!

I use this product every day going to classes! Not only do I love using this, but I get so many compliments on it ... I love this backpack!

I have never had a backpack this nice! When it arrived I just shocked by the quality and thought put into every part.Then when I loaded it with computer, binders, kindle etc. and put it one I could barely feel it! Other people have also commented on how pretty and practical it looks. I use this to go to work everyday, and when I go out on casual day trips.

North Face products are always great. The bag came shortly after I ordered it, and the colors look much better in person than the pictures (I ordered the gray and mint one). This was a Christmas present for my girlfriend so she has a nice bag for school. It holds everything she needs to take with her to school, and is comfortable and cool looking. All around great gift.

This backpack is absolutely amazing. Looks even better in person

Great for travel.

I've been using this backpack for college and it has been great. At first I didn't like it because the back is hard and stiff which I wasn't used to. Once I realized that there is a pocket on the back for a laptop I liked it much better because it is very protective. I love the color and it's high quality material. There's a lot of room. Once I started using it I loved it!

This was a gift for my daughter for college and she loves it. She said its perfect for her to accommodate all her needs for school.

I need the backpack for everyday use, soni love all the compartment and the sturdiness of the bag. I just wish ithe main compartment was a little bigger

Large backpack perfect for school or traveling. Very sturdy.

Voluminous backpack. Perfect for school or a serious dayhike.

It looks and feels great but the only downside is that, the zipper gets snagged in the upper lining but that's probably the only con of the book bag. Overall great product

I oroginally wanted this backpack for school, but I fell in love with its versatility and comfort. I have a one year old and this has now become my diaper bag. It has a pocket for everything and it's lightweight compared to a lot of other backpacks. Not to mention I get compliments on its upbeat stylish colors Daily! Two thumbs up NorthFace!

I am a college student and I received many lavish gifts for Christmas this year but this was by far my favorite gift!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

I bought this backpack as a gift. He loved the color and the light weight aspect of the bag.

Needed a new backpack and this works perfectly. I'm happy with how it looks and feels.
