Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

As a student who bares the burden of carrying countless books that weigh like a bag of cement, this bag does the job. The suspended strap design combined with the padded backing is a perfect solution to strain and pressure on your shoulders. The main compartment is plentifully equipped with enough space for everything and the laptop holder is padded to protect your device. There are countless of other compartments for your stuff and would reccomend to any student or avid traveller. I can also see it being perfect for casual day hikes or light camping trips.

I mainly used this backpack for school. I am thinking of getting a second one in a different color for travel. It would be an excellent carry-on

Great for day pack or office.

I use this every day at college. I walk long distances to classes as well as pack a heavy computer in it. It makes getting to classes much easier is very weather proof and durable!!

My first north face purchase, and I am super impressed. Worth the investment, as I have been using cheaper backpacks and they progressively worsened my back. This backpack provides good support.

High quality - color was as shown on website - Gift for niece - She was very pleased.

I purchased a North Face Recon backpack about 10 years ago when I was starting high school, and I still use the backpack to this day. This is the best backpack I have ever owned, and I am extremely impressed that it has lasted me through high school, college, and vacations. My boyfriend's backpack was recently stolen, so I was looking for something that he could use for everyday use, as well as on his upcoming 5 week trip to Europe. I was looking for durability and comfort, so I decided to go with the same bag I have enjoyed for so long. He absolutely loves it, and says it has all the pockets and storage space he needs. We are both also a big fan of the fleeced lined pockets. So, GOOD JOB NORTH FACE!

many books on campus all day. frequent overnight trips

< daughter> I sent you my Christmas list with easy links this year so you can just click and buy me things (always considerate) < first thing on list under NEEDS> must have this backpack so my books don't get wet and I can pass anatomy. (But only the green one) she loved her backpack...now let's just hope she passes anatomy.

and obsessively debating each feature our daughter chose this backpack over many, many others. This backpack replaces her last northface backpack which was simply done after 5-6 years of heavy, daily, student abuse. She picked this color and it is just the right combo of neutral and color pop. This one will go to college with her and likely into the future. Very happy with this choice.

I use it for school and it works wonderfully. The only problem is that the zipper gets stuck a lot buts it's an easy fix.

Was given as a gift.

Mostly used in airline travel, and long weekend trips. Well made.

I use the backpack for books and supplies for school. I am very happy with it so far. It is highly functional and a perfect size. The color in the picture is a little different than it looks in person. The off white area in the picture is actually silver. It is a very cool looking combination either way. I would purchase this backpack again.

Great for hike up lava rock volcano

Great backpack, roomy and comfortable!

I am a first year student at University and this backpack travel with me on my bike sun or rain. The padded were great because I felt very comfortable with heavy books inside when I bike in campus. The only negative I have for this backpack is the high price buto it's worth it.

Commuting to school and day trips

Ok, I can not describe it because I bought it for my 15 year old niece but I can tell you this, she went over it with a fine tooth comb, looked in every pocket, pulled on all the straps, and checked out how it fit her and she absolutely loves it.

Fits what i carry daily to class and weekend trips.

I needed a new backpack for school and am so happy with the color and size of my Northface backpack. I am also traveling to New Zealand in the spring and know it will be perfect for the flight and my day trips.

Purchased this product for my daughter for hiking. She loves it! She likes how it fits and she picked the colors! Great product!

Purchased this back pack for my daughter to replace a Northface back pack that she had been using for three years until our new puppy chewed on the back pack. She has loved her first Northface back pack and is looking forward to using her new back pack.

Perfect! Exactly what I wanted!

This backpack was purchased as a gift for my son. He absolutely loves it. He said there was a spot for everything!
