Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

The back support padding is awesome

I use this product for work and travel is always with me awesome

I won't lie. I bought this backpack for school, not hiking. I already own a hiking backpack but when my trustworthy jansport split at the seams I knew I needed to make a new purchase. I researched online and compared shops, prices and online reviews unendingly. Here's what it came down to: I trust Northface. Pound for pound some of the best equipment and clothing out there. I knew if I did the research and found a product from Northface that met my specifications it would get the job done, and it does. I was looking for a lightweight backpack that could carry some heavy loads, a laptop sleeve, and a water bottle sleeve. The front pocket is perfect for all my extras: calculator, pens, name tags, even an extra scrub top! An additional thing I wasn't looking for that pleasantly surprised me: the zippers are thick and sturdy. I feel like my belongings are secure. Also, I'm always surprised by how light and natural the fit feels. If you're agonizing over your backpack purchase, fret not. Look up your specifications and you can find something at Northface that is not only good quality, but it will last a long time.

I use this backpack for college and it fits everything that I need! I bought this backpack specifically because my back was hurting from my previous backpack and this backpack helped me resolve that problem.

I use this product for school, as well as for going on hikes or shooting guns. It is. Very organized and has compartments that can be used for a variety of items. It has a nice computer sleeve, as well as sleeves for phones or tablets. It's a decent size and feels very well made. I bought this one because my hipster backpack disintegrated after a mere 5 years!

I take my bag packs every day in school. And during weekends I use this wonderful bagpack in picnic. Love this iteam

The compartments allow for easy storage and are great for those who like to have things organized or those who wish to become more organized.

I have a ton of backpacks in all different sizes for different needs. This is perfect for when I need to carry more than just a laptop. North Face backpacks have always been great for organization with all the different pockets and they're comfortable as well even when full packed. The softer lined small pocket in the top is nice too when you don't want to scratch your phone or glasses.

I use this backpack for school and just everyday use! I also take it on day hikes and it is so comfortable to walk with and it has more than enough room for everything I need! This backpack goes with me almost everywhere because it's the perfect companion!

I bought this backpack a couple of weeks ago and I love the color and support of the backpack as well as all of the space inside of it!

I use this backpack everyday in college; my laptop and books fit perfectly. The best thing about this backpack is that I don't have to worry about my stuff (especially laptop) getting wet ever. It has so many compartments, which makes everything so organized and easy to find. The padding is great and it makes my daily load so bearable and I feel like it is really good for my spine. I haven't been complaining about my back pain ever since I use this back pack. Such a good investment !

This backpack was a gift for my husband. He uses it for work, to carry laptop, supplies, etc...

Quality product

The laptop sleeve can fit pretty big laptops, and comfortably while doing so! The many pockets are helpful for keeping little things aside from the big things. Carrying it around campus feels so much better than past backpacks I've had. Recommend 10/10

Had my last Recon for 9 years. Still going strong, but with some wear and tear from school/traveling, I figured it was time for an upgrade. Wasn't a hard decision to go with the Recon again. The shoulder straps are much more comfortable and the backpack feels sturdier without sacrificing comfort. The medium size and well thought out interior make it a go-to backpack for everything from commuting to traveling.

This product is not only cute, but durable, comfortable, and has plenty of space!

I use this product for school but will also be using it for all my travel/hiking/adventure needs. My old backpack was hurting my back everyday when I would walk to class. I was hesisitant to buy a backpack that was this expensive but after wearing it for a while now, I can tell you that it is worth it. My back feels so much better already. It is padded but it also more rigid (in a great way) than my old backpack. My only complaint about this backpack is that I feel like I can not fit quite as much in it as I could my old one. I love all the compartments it has and I feel like it has led me to be more organized for school.

Awesome backpack!! It hasn't let me down yet. There is a pocket for everything which is great. It is very comfortable once you get the straps adjusted.

The bag is perfect for school and work. It also doubles as a small weekender bag! Buy this bag!

I love the backpack, but wish it was a little bigger.

Have used the recon for all of my high school and college careers. Also use this bag for track and field. Fits everything you could ever need and keeps it all organized! Love the double water bottle holders as well. Also keeps your laptop very safe. So much love for this backpack and hope the north face always carries it
