Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I've had other variants of the Recon and I love this design. I love the mesh pocket front to throw stuff in quickly - this version's mesh pocket feels the most secure yet! Lots of pockets, padding and space, while remaining sleek. This is my favorite backpack.

Love the bag so many pockets to store so much in, very comfortable.

I use this for work on the weekdays and for day activities on the weekend, 10/10. Epic design.

It is a great bag

Took this on tour and could not be happier with how much I can fit in this thing. In an orderly fashion too.

Great backpack ! Bought one in my high school years and now it's my range bag and still in great working order, this new one fits my work labtop perfectly and so far so good.

This Recon pack is a replacement for another one and the color is great. The straps feel sturdy considering daily use at school. It is also very comfortable and has many good pockets for my ear buds and glasses. The water bottle pockets are great as well and can hold my big water bottle. Overall I recommend this pack.

Perfect bag for everyday use or a weekend trip. The compartments are well placed and space is ample.

I purchased this a year ago for our son who was leaving for college. He used it every day and it still looks like new. Great backpack. Well made. Obviously pretty durable!

I bought my daughter a recon 6 years ago for college. It's still going strong. Decided to get one for my laptop for work. They have changed some but it's been great. Use it everyday for work. I've even emptied the work stuff out of the bag and used it as a day pack on a few hikes and used it as a carry on while flying. I bought it 3/2021, it's now 1/2022. After reading the negative reviews about the bag not wearing well or falling apart, I had to put up a positive review. I'm glad I overlooked those reviews and gave it a try. If things change I'll be back with an update.

Great backpack to take on a hike or as a personal item that fits under the seat while traveling. Ample space and pockets!

Great backpack for work and small travels. I love the small storage compartments it is very useful. I'm disappointed with the 2021 update on the backpacks. I really enjoy this old design.

great!

Great backpack great quality and looks great. Not the most storage space but I love the pockets and how easy they are to access things. Only thing I don't like about this backpack is that it does not stay upright when I place on the ground.

Great quality. Lots of zipper and pockets. Loved it!

I use this product for work, and it's great for keeping my items together. Very good quality material too.

I also bought the vault backpack, but the Recon is bigger and has more pockets. This backpack has been great for school and hiking. My favorite part is the mesh pocket because it is perfect for carrying small items and it makes things easily accessible when hiking.

Great backpack for college students. Plenty of room for laptop, books, chargers, and a water bottle.

This is an amazing backpack! I love all the compartments. This is a great backpack for me as a student!

My last backpack was also the Recon Backpack and I loved it. I had it for about 4 years. Loved every bit of it and wanted to get another one. Been loving this one too!

Great backpack, would recommend to anyone who travels a lot for work and seeks adventures outside.

I take it to work with me to the hospital and it serves me very well. Lots of compartments, pretty waterproof, rugged, and looks great.

I use this backpack for college and it fits quite a lot of stuff. Ive used this exact style of backpack for years and they have never given up on me.

The backpack has a ton of storage and is stylish to wear. The side pockets are tight enough to keep my belongings from falling out.

Really love the sturdiness of this backpack. Was bought for high school use for a tall male. Good back support built in. Have used it for travel already too.
