Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

very cute, durable and versatile. i like the multiple pockets the backpack has.

Love the different compartments it has , also how u can make it slim by tightening sides.

I really like this backpackit's both stylish and highly functional. The well-designed pockets and straps make organizing my things easy, and despite carrying a lot for school, it never feels too heavy thanks to its supportive design.

I have hypermobility and usually have a hard time finding a comfortable backpack that can carry stuff without giving me pain. I tried even hiking backpacks, and the pain was too much; on the other hand, this backpack allows me to carry everything that I need to go to college, and the color is super pretty. 100% recommended!

As described.

I don't like the new recon. One suggestion I have for the backpack is PLEASE PLEASE take out the plastic board in the back of the backpack! It makes the backpack way too stiff and doesn't help the backpack stand up at all..

I love this bag so much. I bring it to work with me everyday, and it is big enough for everything I need for the day, including my lunch. The straps are super comfy and the padding on the back feels great. This is exactly what I've been looking for.

I ordered this backpack for my daily commute and it has been perfect. I was using my husband's fuse box, which was great, but the straps were wider and not as comfortable. I love that this one has narrower straps and a sleeker look. I like the adjustable side pockets and all of the compartments in the front. It has made my commute that much easier and more enjoyable.

Just the right size for traveling on our adventure to New Zealand. I like the compartments and the color is just what I wanted.

I absolutely love this bag. I take it to work everyday and it fits everything I need for the whole day, including my lunch. It is super comfy on my back I will definitely be taking it on hikes with me. I'm only giving 4 stars because the stitching on one of the straps looks a little loose I'm anticipating a rip sooner rather than later.

I use this backpack for work. It holds all of my stuff, and is quite comfortable. I love the color as well!

Perfect backpack for graduate school!

Work, lap top back pack

I bought this to use for work. I am a traveling therapist so I use it to carry all of my notes, files and more. It replaced my older model I've had since freshmen year in college. My old one was in great shape, I just needed a change and wanted a new color.

My daughter wanted a bigger backpack for all her high school needs. This pack is the one. Has lots of room and different compartments to keep her items organized.

Great backpack for my college daughter. She has a bad back and this is the only bag that doesn't bother her back.

I use the backpack everyday for school. Holds everything and more! No problems, good material, good product!

I've switched from the old version of the recon backpack to this one but I prefer the old one over this for a couple reasons. Pro: 1. Love the padding material on the back of the new backpack as the old one had a material that would wear out my clothes due to how abrasive it was. 2. Love the new back zipper pocket for laptops as I can easily access my laptop even though my bag is full. Con: 1.The height of the backpack is much taller or longer than the previous one and it's hard to place it on my lap since it slides right off as it's longer than my thigh. If the backpack was shorter 2 inches then it would be perfect. 2. The bottom of the women's recon backpack is like an egg shape so it's hard to keep it upright since it's curved. It would be nice if the curve was flatter and the bottom less stiff since it hurts when I place the bag on my lap. 3. The front zipper pocket (not the hidden one) used to go all the way to the bottom of the backpack but this new version only goes halfway which is annoying since it limits what I can put there. 4. Lastly, the capacity of the backpack decreased so significantly.. I used to be able to stuff 8 textbooks no problem but now it fits 4 max.

Great zippers. Like the space. Perfect color.

My daughter love it.

Bought it for my wife. She loves it.

It has a much better top pocket that is user friendly and not literally top heavy and floppy like other NF backpack models I have owned. Love the color and trim. Now, I just need to keep it this light color clean! I have gotten so many compliments on it! Love it.

This is a well made and attractive backpack. The stitching is quality and it fits on your back very well. I love the specific design for women. I really loved the color scheme of grey and blue. The backpack has several different pockets making for an ease in organizing gear. Unfortunately, I had to return mine- but only because it was too small for my needs as an everyday carry bag. I would consider it a medium sized bag for a hike or short day trip. Everyone is different in their needs with regards to packing- so if you are a light packer or are just looking for a smaller bag- I would highly recommend this one.

My daughter loves this backpack, able to hold everything for school

I love the color and looks, but it is a heavy backpack esp for travel or hikes. Also, the main compartment doesn't open up much so you can't put a whole lot in.
