Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

I am a rising Junior in High School. I had an older version of the Recon before purchasing this one, and it was so great my older brother who is a Senior in College stole it! Before purchasing it I wanted to know how many thing it could fit, so for you high schoolers out there : the recon fits 2 one inch binders, 5 one subject notebooks, 1 three subject notebook, and 6 folders in JUST the main pocket. In the organizational pocket, I carry my agenda, calculator and pencil case, as well as a few doo-dads for school. I love this bag and recommend it to any student!

Awesome backpack. Tons of room! Love the laptop sleeve. Not near as bright as the picture shown. Very disappointed in that aspect.

I'm a college student and had my last north face backpack for 8 years. Starting grad school, I thought it was time for a new one so I invested in this backpack. It's working great so far and has a great compartment to protect my laptop. I love it!

This bag wont disappoint! It is beautiful, and the grey part is more detailed / patterned than the camera captures online - really nice - my daughter loves it! The pink is a unique raspberry / fushia berry color too! Overall we are very pleased.

I love this backpack! It is exactly the color it looks and has room for everything! I use it for college and it is perfect!

Love this bookbag! So many pockets, comfortable straps for my daughter's shoulders, and very cute style. Of course NF brand is very popular too

the backpack is in great condition and working properly. although I didn't think the color matched perfectly with the description online. I thought I was ordering a white colored backpack with grey zippers and detailing, but I got a more washed out grey color instead of white. I didn't mind because it was not that big of a deal.

Purchased as a gift for someone starting college this fall, she loved it!

I bought this backpack for my grandson for College and he said it was perfect. I also bought one for my son for day pack for hiking and mountain climbing. Excellent

My high school age child loves this backpack.

My daughter has loved her recon this year for High School. It is perfect for all of her heavy books and is comfortable on her shoulders. She loves the space it has and also loves the color she chose. Great decision going with this one this year!!

I love the contoured straps. It really makes a difference when carrying a heavy bag. My only negative observation is that the zipper cover on the large pocket gets in the way when opening and closing. Other than that, it feels and looks great and I'm sure it'll last forever

I have loved this back pack so far! It's so useful!

We ordered this backpack for our daughter. Great quality and plenty of room for books and laptop. She has had a recon previously and had good results. She carried it to school for 2 years with no problems...just wanted new look. Confident this pack will hold up as well as the previous one.

I bought this bag for myself for my school backpack and it's great! Not only do the compartments make it super easy to carry all my school supplies and keep them organized, but it's also super cute! Over all I'm extremely happy with my purchase and I definitely recommend this bag. However if you're planning to buy this bag for long term use, I might suggest a more neutral color because I'm kindof tired of the color I picked out and may buy a new one in a more simple color/pattern.

This backpack is super spacious with a ton of compartments for your items as well as soft compartments for your electronics!great cushioning!

My daughter loves this book bag! The padding on the back of the book bag really helps. It has so much space! Love it!

This backpack is like, the sickest piece of equipment I've ever owned, and I've owned a lot of sick equipment. It's super durable and no matter how much stuff I pack it with, it's not all obnoxious and lumpy against my back and it all fits really nicely. Which is great, because I pack it with a lot of stuff. The laptop pocket is A+++++ and keeps it snug and secure and also keeps it from getting crushed with all the other random stuff I put in there, and the little pockets for chargers are wonderfully convenient and the greatest thing since Betty White, though Betty White's probably greater because she's Betty White. Anyway, the backpack rocks. The neon green against the grey is gorgeous and a really great metaphor for trying to find yourself. Everyone wants to stand out, and nowadays there's so much monotony in a school of stodgy fish. They grey is the fish, and I am the green, trying to peek out among such, and when you open the pack, you find the inside bright emerald like a beautiful jewel waiting to be discovered and break the mold. The backpack and I are one. Point being, it holds my stuff (which is great because my other one ripped and this one definitely won't be doing that any time soon) and is durable and compatible with my inner being. Rock on, you glorious people.

My high school age kids just love them! They are well built, practical, and good looking! Thanks for making a great product!

The Recon is a such wonderful product! I love all of the different compartments in the backpack so that I can put everything I need in it in an organized manner. This backpack is great for outdoor activities but it's also helpful for daily use!

I got this backpack for my granddaughter and it is wonderful. Very well made and she loves it !

This backpack is amazing! It has plenty of room for everything and then some! It has a place for your laptop, tablet, and smart phone which is awesome! I love it!

The design of the bag isn't exactly what I like but all of the compartments are great!

I recently bought this backpack for college and I'm absolute in love! It fits all my necessities. I have taken this backpack with me when I travel and when I go on hikes and it's honestly so comfortable. I would definitely recommend this to a friend!

Love this backpack! I am using it for college and not only is it functional, but also very cute!
