Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

For work and bringing my computer back and forth. Will also use it for travel.

This backpack lasted me 4 years and held up pretty great, the only thing that wore out were the water bottle mesh pockets

I use this back pack for anything travel, gym work and any commute. It is clearly light and stylish I would highly recommend even for hikers. It carries aveything.

Great bag.

I purchased this pack to travel via aero plane as a personal item and to use as a day pack when I reach my destination. The pack is large enough to fit 3 days of clothes and a pair of sneakers or sandals.laptop sleeve fit my 15" laptop, cords, and my galaxy tab. Laptop sleeve allows for easy access to get through TSA without all the fuss. Shout out for the water bottle pockets. I used one for a bottle and the other for my Bluetooth speaker. Lastly, I had the backpack stuffed and it was still extremely comfortable.

I really like how it manages to be both roomy and compact. I'm able to carry everything I need without feeling like I'm carrying a basketball.

I use it for school. It is stylish and has everything I need. Love it! The protected cushion area takes good care of my chrome book for school! Thanks, love it!

I love this backpack it is great for business and pleasure!!

This is my second Recon backpack after using my other after 4 years. I bought a new one due to my other Recon's pockets wearing out. Would highly recommend!

My parents bought it for me in the 7th grade. Im now about to graduate college, 10 years on, and it still works! Im buying a new one as a graduation gift ;)

Needed a durable, ergonomic backpack for rucking. "All the others" were too cheap, flimsy, didn't sit right. My North Face backpack is well worth the price!

Perfect design with pockets for all options. Big water bottle holders, very comfortable with the weight at the top of the shoulders, cool and breathes on the back. Nice enough to bring to work and commute but durable to take out for the weekend!

For college

I use this backpack for school and I love it! I'm surprised by how much I can put in it! The only downside was that the side pockets I use for my water bottle are slowly but surely ripping. There are holes and I've only had it for about 2 years now. I take good care of my backpack but it's sad to see it break. Everything else is amazing

Replaced a worn computer bag with this backpack. Great protection for the laptop, and enough storage for everything else.

I gave this backpack as a gift, and she absolutely loves it. She's a teacher and uses it for school and commuting, as well as the occasional gym bag. It's roomy without being too big, and big enough without being too small. It's a perfect commuter or day bag for sure. Plus the color is spectacular without being flashy. Love this and would buy for myself in the future!

I use the Recon primarily for school, but also as an athletic bag for volleyball and for camping/hiking. It's wonderful!

Some small pockets that I wish could hold more, but sooo cute, comfy, and durable!!

Really like this backpack! It has a rigid support panel in the laptop compartment which is much appreciated and will definitely keep my laptop safe and allow the bag to hold its form over time. Love the soft lined sunglasses pocket as well! They really thought of everything.

Pack is used predominantly when I walk lots of miles since I no longer drive. Also as a tote for medical appointments. I have great respect for The North Face brand, having purchased multiple items in previous years when I still had a job.

This bag was great for hiking! It was comfortable to wear and had everything I needed. Highly recommend!

Perfection all the way! Travels kindly day to day with all your essentials and leaves the weight of the world behind. You will forget your wearing it!

I previously had the Northface Borealis and after 7 years decided it was time to try something new. The Northface Recon Women's did not disappoint! It withheld a week trip in LA through TSA and back. I would highly recommend purchasing this.

I take this backpack with me everywhere. The color matches everything I wear to work and hobbies. I put books in this backpack as well as take it with me when I road cycle.

It's great for everyday travel
