Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

It's pretty spacious and the side pockets are very spaciousbig enough to hold a 40 ounce Owala, which many other bags cannot hold. The front compartment with the organizer is very useful, as well as the mesh pocket. This bag does not stand up very well, however, and tends to fall onto its front no matter what. The straps of the chest and hip buckles are rather long and hard to tuck away, which may be a bother to some, but I have found it alright.

Great quality backpack with many compartments. Not too large but still fits all s high schooler needs to pack.

I love this backpack, I use it for class and work a lot. So many pockets to store things and I love the front of it!

Love the style, so durable and functional. Great for students!

Great bag that takes all I need for work and is ergonomically great. Highly recommended.

Very comfy and convenient backpack for work or travel. It holds a lot of stuff, and the color is so cute as well! The only downside is that the back is too stiff, but at the same time it helps if you're carrying a laptop or any paperwork.

Great backpack for travel, hike, work, etc. It's very practical. I also loved this color!

Love this backpack! I use it for work and it's so spacious.

I use it daily for carrying my work equipment. It's very durable and comfortable. It distributes the weight of my heavy things a lot better than my previous backpack.

I love this product so much. I am a nursing student in college and I carry a ton of books. This is amazing. It is so comfortable on my back and it has all the support I need.

The backpack looks nice and has many nifty compartments for things you could need. I wouldn't say it can fit a whole ton of things comfortably, but my main issue is really the quality of the straps. They feel very stiff and not reflective of the price I paid for the backpack. Other than that, it's a fine backpack for daily use.

I really like all the compartments in this backpack and how comfortable it is to wear. However, the large middle section fills up quickly if you put a lot of things in the front pocket, which is very annoying. I often feel like there's not much storage and that's disappointing. I think I will switch to a different north face that doesn't have this issue

Poor Quality

Here's a lighthearted and positive review for the North Face backpack: "Bought this backpack for my daughter's first year in college, and let me tell you, it's not just carrying booksit's carrying her *dreams*! This North Face wonder has practically become her sidekick, giving her moral support while she treks across campus like a seasoned explorer. It's like the backpack whispers, 'You got this,' every time she throws it over her shoulder. The sturdy straps? They're not just holding textbooksthey're holding *her hopes* of surviving 8 a.m. lectures! Whether it's cramming for finals or running to grab coffee before class, this backpack has her backliterally and figuratively. If backpacks could give pep talks, this one would be the captain of the squad!" Your daughter is all set for college adventureswith a backpack that's basically a life coach.

Very roomy and supports my back. I love this backpack, highly recommend if you have issues with your back.

I use this backpack for school and it's AMAZING!! I love that there is a separate zipper and space for your computer that's padded. I really love the straps they are wide in the shoulder area which makes them super comfortable. It has plenty of space for everything I've needed this year, it fits about 4 notebooks and folders plus a small binder pretty decent size pencil case and my lunch just in the main pocket. In the smaller one I have all the daily essentials and I love all to individual pockets, it helps me keep everything super organized. I also really love the zipper pocket in the very front, I like to put things like keys and my wallet in there because it's mostly hidden. And lastly I love the color that I got it's perfect, not too bright and in your face but still super cute!!!

I use this product as my school backpack. I am a nursing student in college so I love it and how it has so much pockets for all my snacks and all my textbooks.

the bag is super functional and carries a lot of stuff. the two water bottle pockets are a life saver when walking around campus. the bag also has so many organizing pockets within the front pouch to make daily use easier. also, the back pads and straps are super confortable. some of my friends thought theirs weren't spacious but you have to remember to loosen the straps compressing the bag! totally recommend and am super happy with my product!

Great durable backpack. I was looking for a backpack with lots of pockets and space for different things I might need while on the go and this one has it all. I also love the variety of colors it came in.

thought it would be more of a sage green but is more mint green. still a great backpack, works great for me in engineering school

Used for High School so it is loaded with a full 3" binder and a laptop. Fits everything comfortably, although there is no extra room to spare. It is so full that there really is not enough room for a water bottle in the side pocket. Comfortable to wear, even with being so full. Color is consistent with online pictures.

It's great for school! It holds all my supplies that I need for class, and is very durable! I had one like this bag last year and it lasted me the whole year!! No complaints.. and I will be buying from this brand again in the future!! :)

My daughter is using this bag for her middle school backpack. It is roomy enough for binders and ipad, pencil case and lunch box. Loves the style - it's the "must have" bag for the preteen set this year.

My daughter loves this backpack. Holds everything she needs
