Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

Really fantastic. Beautiful color - as shown. Roomy and enough pockets and separators. Very comfortable.

Great backpack for school. Enough room for all my books and doesn't hurt my shoulders.

I love this backpack! I am a female and opted to get the men's version of Recon because it is a little bit bigger. I am a college student so I often have a lot to lug around with me from day-to-day. I am able to fit my laptop, charger, books, lunchbox, wallet, water bottle, thermos, and shaker bottle in here everyday no problem! And the Quill Blue color is bright and awesome! My favorite feature is the small zip pocket in the front, at the top; it gives me easy access to my keys, headphones, and ID.

My15 year old just loved this one. got it in the black/red/white (school colors) but this one was most the attractive color anyway

Really like it. Well done, beautiful and with lots of small pockets to take care of your precious. Delivery on time. Highly recommended

I bought this bag initially for carrying my school supplies and gym gear while commuting on a motorcycle. So far so good, a little tight for everything that I need to jam in there, which it's quite a bit. Construction seems great, and I am happy with my purchase so far, I will be using for hiking as well. Time will tell, the torture I will put this bag through

I love my back pack in fact this was my second purchase same pack different color. I wish I could get the jacket to match it. It's perfect for my height and lady like at the same time

Very happy with my purchase!! All the reviews I read were excellent on this pack. I have to agree.

I've had my North Face Recon backpack for more than ten years and it's still going strong with near-daily use. It's been filled with textbooks, hiking gear, food from the grocery store, and lots more. It's been shoved in overhead compartments, thrown in the trunks of many cars, and set down in nature more times that I can count. I just logged on to the site to see if they still made it in case I ever need a new one -- glad to see they do, with very minor changes! I doubt I'll need a replacement in the next ten years, but happy to see it's available. I love, love, love my NF recon. Highly recommended. Great size, great quality. All around awesome.

Very cute, comfortable and durable bag. I use it for work to carry books, stuff for work , laptop and lunch. Lots of useful compartments to use. I carry heavy stuff but doesn't feel like its heavy. I got lots of compliment with this bag, got the black with orange straps. The back of the bag feels so soft and comfortable. Very satisfied with this bag, it's worth the money. I'm planning on using this for hand carry for my long distance flight this will be great one.

The perfect bag. Perfect size and really comfortable on the shoulders . Just the right amount of pockets to store just about anything. Solid bag made none other than thenorthface.

This is my 3rd Recon. The first one I used for many years for school then work. I sent it to North Face for a replacement zipper. I bought the second one to use while the first one was being fixed. I still carry the first one and gave husband the the 2nd. He eventually gave it son for college. After a year with a different pack husband had to have another recon. Love the new laptop/tablet sleeve.

I purchased this backpack as a replacement for a backpack that was a gift from work. That backpack lasted approximately 2 years. It was primarily used for transporting a 13-inch macbook Pro, an iPad, assorted books, an iPod, computer cables, a number of papers and assorted office supplies. I??ve had my Recon for over a month now and have used it to carry a similar load for routine media support work at our church with no problems, The layout of the Recon actually made the organization of my equipment, books, and other equipment and supplies very intuitive, the equipment was very easy to access after loading out the pack. I recently went on a Youth Ski Trip and used my Recon to carry not only my normal gear but also ski gear: goggles, gloves, face gators & hats, etc??_ I was carrying 2 sets of each piece of equipment, my equipment and a set for use by one of our youth. The pack performed flawlessly. The water bottle pockets are deep enough to hold my water bottles so they don??t fall out, which wasn??t the case with my previous pack. The laptop sleeve holds my laptop very securely, but its still very accessible when I need it. The tablet sleeve is a very nice feature that I??ve come to enjoy, and it holds my iPad in it??s crying case with no problem. When I have my laptop & iPad loaded in the main compartment I still have plenty of room to carry my books and papers without feeling like I??ve overfilled the pack. The second compartment is also very functional and I have been very impressed with the layout of the organizational pockets built into this compartment. Again this compartment has made organizing and accessing my equipment and supplies very easy. Overall this pack has exceeded my expectations.??

Loved the backpack and color. Holds a lot, built really well to last long time.

Love everything about all North Face products. And I shouldn't have to sit here and write an essay about my bag that I had ordered from the North Face website. Everything is great but you guys should make laptop cases and ones that are compatible with 17" laptops.

I bought this exact backpack like ten years ago. It was just the right size, protected my tech and was very durable. So when my four year old son threw up all over my backpack on our last international flight, it was time to get a new backpack. It was a no brainer, I jumped on North Face's website and bought the exact same style, but the upgrades are great. The tablet pocket is perfect and genius. The zipper in the front pouch keeps me much more organized as well. Love the backpack. Well done North Face, yet again!

This backpack offers many opportunities of use. It is sleek, professional and great for those skiing trips! Easy for personalization also, I had mine embroidered!

I got this pack pack for my husband for our recent ski trip, the back back looks awesome, my husband loved it, very confortable, not too heavy, great compartments for his laptop and my ipad, lots of packet to keep organized, I see this backpack as our airport companion for the many years to come. Great quality

Great backpack...bought it for my daughter to use for school. It's working well. When we ordered we thought the zipper and handle etc. were red. They are actually a fluorescent pinky/red. Very bright but my daughter likes them! (Thank goodness!)

This is my first backpack and I absolutely LOVE IT! I took it on my last trip so that I could pack items that would not fit into my carry-on bag. It has plenty of room and is just the right size for my height of 5'2". Not too big or cumbersome and it holds a lot of items! I definitely recommend it.

Ordered for my granddaughter for Christmas. Exactly what she wanted! It shipped immediately after ordering. Perfect!

This back is the most amazing backpack I've ever had! The most recent backpack was one for my boyfriend and is the third one I've brought. I will never buy another kind.

Lightweight and beautiful backpack. Love all the compartments.

This backpack is comfortable with padded straps that sit just right. And, the fabric looks to be extremely durable. Plenty of compartments but not excessive where things would get lost. It's ideal in every way.

I have used this backpack in over 9 different countries in the past 4 years. this includes a variety of winter and summer activities such as snowboarding, biking, hiking, biking, travel. I used it as a pack for school as well. there are still no holes or tears. the durability is incredible and it is decently priced. I would highly recommend this pack to anyone.
