Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Got the Recon backpack as a Hanukah gift. It's very comfortable to carry. Has lots of useful pockets both outside and inside. It's very durable. I use it for school and as a weekend bag.

I wish it comes with a bigger size. I still love it anyway, I highly recommend it.

I've had this backpack for over 10 years and it amazes me that it still doesn't show any kind of wear. I use it as my carry on every time I fly, I take it on day hikes in the mountains to carry lunch and extra clothes, plus water bottles and emergency gear. I use it snow skiing to carry extra layers, goggles, sunscreen, water, snacks, boots, and head gear. It's extremely versatile and as I said, it will last your forever. Mine still looks awesome, no fraying threads or ripping fabric anywhere, even at the points where you would expect it like where the shoulder straps are sewn to the top of the bag, and I have carried very heavy loads, especially as a carry on when I fly (heavy laptop + power supply, hardback books, snacks, toiletry kit, etc etc). I will always buy North Face after seeing how durable these backpacks are. I'm very impressed.

Works well for school and at the same time perfect for road trips, camping, etc. Durable, and these backpacks always prove to stand the test of time. Would buy again.

Perfect bag with pockts and very nice looking. A must have. I use for the gym.

Everything that I expected! Looks small but holds so much and doesn't become bulky when full, which is my favorite part. Also feels great on my back. I can't even feel all the weight that on my back. Definitely recommended!

The color and quality of the product is awesome. It feels so relaxed while carrying a laptop inside. Spacious and fits well over my shoulders.

Bought the Summit Gold Ripstop backpack as a everyday bag, diaper bag, and for day hiking. After using a Swiss Gear Ibex Backpack and recently selling to buy a NF backpack i'm glad I did but mad I didn't sooner this north face backpack is far more comfortable to wear than my Swiss Gear was and lighter also. The size is alittle smaller but that's what I wanted due to not carrying my laptop so much anymore. Overall the appearance is nice, love the chest and waist straps and the mesh pockets for water bottles and the other one to put whatever you need on the spot in. And the little whistle built into the shoulder clasp is a nice touch. North Face 1 Swiss Gear 0

Have been using the bag for a few weeks now and everything appears in good condition; no problems.

This is my second desicion to buy a bookbag from northface,because iI found that the item o product is excellent quality and warranty life. Thank you

This backpack is exactly what my high schooler wanted. The size is perfect, the pockets work for all their gear and accessories.

I replaced my old recon with this year's model and couldn't be happier. The quality seems to be very good, and I'm confident in knowing that if it fails to uphold, North Face has a good customer service and returns system.

Love how this backpack helps to keep me organized! It fits great and is not too bulky!

good bag it fits nice and it comfy. I did lots of research before hand and got mine in the states at dicks sporting goods for 95$. I was traveling there anyways so it was an easy way to save a little money. its also very well made and will hopefully be long lasting.

After 5 years with my old NF backpack, it was time to get a new one. They no longer carried my old one, but this one is the same great quality, but with a few more bells and whistles. Perfect size for school and carry-on travel for plane. Looking forward to 5 more good years.

This backpack is the best...i was a little shaky about it at first but its freakin amazing

I bought this backpack for college, but I haven't used it yet. It seems spacious enough to hold a few books and a laptop. Seems a lot more durable than the previous High Sierra backpacks I've owned. Happy with the purchase so far.

Though they have made some minor changes to the pack since I received mine, about 7 years ago when I was about to go off to college, the general structure is the same. It has gone through carrying heavy books and laptops to and from classes, traveling abroad, hiking, etc. I have basically "put it through the wringer". All the zippers still function properly, the material hasn't torn or have holes, all of the snap buckles still function, and I couldn't be happier with it, EXCEPT I want a new backpack and can't come up with a valid reason to buy another??_..
