Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

I bought 2 backpacks for my girls. One is in 8th grade and the other is a sophomore. There is so much room in the backpacks, plus so many places to put their items. This is our first time getting backpacks at Northface, but I have heard nothing but good things.

Bought this for my son for school. He loves it! Great purchase!

I use this backpack for school and is great on my back when carrying supplies

This is a great backpack for a High School student.

I got this backpack as a gift from my husband for my return to school. I had previously been using his North Face Cornis for men; this new womens backpack design is such a difference in fit for my body. The straps feel so much better packing around heavy books. Highly recommend. Your back will thank you.

I loved the color of the backpack online but when I got it the color didn't look anything like it did on here.

My 7th grader picked this one out for school. Great back support and lots of room!

This bag have great back support. That is very important to me because my job requires me to carry alot of bags

I use my recon North Face for college, I absolutely love it! It is so durable and I love that it has a laptop pocket, it's much more convenient than having to carry a case around. I also love the comfort that it comes with, so if you have a lot of books like me your back won't hurt as bad. I love all the colors but I especially love the teal one I bought. I would defiantly recommend this bookbag for someone who is looking for a good one to use!

My daughter carries it to school everyday just what she needed.

Great for college student. Has pocket for computer. Great features.

I recently purchased this bookbag for my freshman year of college and so far I love it! I ordered the zinc grey and surf green color and it is perfect! So far it has held everything that I need for class and I still have room! The fleece lined tablet, laptop, and technology pockets are very nice and protects all of my things well. The front stash pocket is great for carrying around a rain jacket too for that GA weather! FYI this bookbag does repel rain fairly well however some water does drip in through the zippers but all of my electronics were kept dry. The reason why I'm giving this bookbag 4 stars out of 5 is because the padding on the back is a bit stiff along with the straps, but I'm sure that this problem will resolve with some time and use of the bookbag. Bottom line this bookbag is great for college and is worth the extra money. I am confident that it will last for a couple of years.

Great backpack. Just not the same color as described at all. Returned and exchanging for a different color.

This backpack is amazing bottom line. It has so much room for all of my school stuff I need. The laptop case is alittle small but it works great for my school ipad.

I use the Recon Backpack at High School. I am a 10th grade student, and have @25lbs of books to carry. The Recon is comfortable, and it makes my heavy load easier to transport from one class to another and home again.

The backpack is very comfortable. It fits all my things I need for school and looks stylish. Very good material!

Comfort was great, never sweated along back area, pockets were just the correct size and easy to manage. Bought this for traveling to San Francisco and knew it would need to carry jackets, DSLR Camera, reading glasses and more. It was fantastic. Worked great as a carry on for the plane, took on bicycle ride, Segway Ride and everywhere I when. Strongly recommend buy the North Face Recon Backpack.

I bought this backpack for college and my trip abroad in the coming months and so far it's been great! It fits all of my textbooks for the semester (not that I will be carrying them all at once) and there's still lots of wiggle room for more things! The backpack initially felt a little heavy when holding it in my hand, but after putting it on my back I couldn't really feel the weight at all, which is great. The back support is also excellent, so much better than my last backpack (not from TNF). The organizational pockets are great for all my school accessories. It also fits my 15" laptop perfectly and I'm so excited to use it during school while trekking around the campus!

I just started nursing school and needed a backpack that could carry all of my books and that would last. I ordered it in surf green, and I absolutely love the color! I also love the protected compartments for your phone, computer, etc.

Use it for school. Love it! I would recommend this backpack to all of my friends.

I got mine monogrammed and it's so cute! It's perfect for school and it holds all my books perfectly

I use the Recon Backpack at school. I carry too many books, and a lot of sports clothes and equipment.

Love the new colors and the quality. Size is just right for high school students.

This backpack has excellent storage space for a laptop, hand held electronics, even books and school supplies. The backpack is not oversized, although it can hold all your necessities. It is perfect for traveling around campus and the waterproof exterior is useful on those rainy days. It comes in awesome colors too!

I use this backpack to carry all of my books around campus! Great bag, great size, great shape. It buckles don't move nearly as smoothly as they did on my Jester, but maybe because this one isn't quite as broken in yet. Love the color too! 8/10, definitely would recommend.
