Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

This is a great quality product. I mainly use it for school, but it's a great pack pack for pretty much anything. The pack is well designed very roomy. The front mesh pocket is a godsend for easy access to items.

Great school or travel backpack! Love all the pockets and it's big but not too big.

I use this bag for law school and I am loving it! I have to carry a lot of big books and this bag is extremely roomy! It also alleviates the weight off of my bag so it does not feel as heavy. Truly an amazing book bag. The shoulder straps sit just right on my shoulders. I highly recommend this bag. My classmates all noticed its stylish features and are considering purchasing a Recon themselves. Especially after seeing how many books I can fit in and after trying it on. They are amazed that I actually have so many casebooks in it. Plus it doesn't look that big on either! It's magical. It has plenty of pockets as well. I would buy this bag again and again.

use it for school and i am in love w it

Love the style and comfort for college

Great design and looks to capture more clothes for travel while holding space for computer and tablets.

Made my daughter excited to go back to school.

I love my new backpack I love taking it to school it is way easier to walk to my classes that are far from eachother with this backpack because it's so comfortable and makes everything less heavy with the support for my back. It great quality! I would buy it again. I'm even thinking of buying other one for my boyfriend he loved mine when I got it.

Excellent backpack which feels like quality material. Pockets are well thought out. Only con is the outer pocket with the cell phone pocket and other pockets would be better if it extended deeper. Besides that, the backpack works great. It is comfortable to wear and not too heavy. The laptop compartment is padded and fits my 14" laptop perfectly. I am happy with my purchase.

Used for school Love fleece pockets and zippered pockets Rugged yet stylish design Front storage offers endless possibilities from shoes to sweatshirt to mini umbrella

I bought this for college and I love it.

All around daily work + travel

Very comfortable and simple. I could have used a few more pockets to seperate items and better organize stuff but it does the job. Most important its comfortable enough to carry my heavy books and has just enough space for 2 water bottles, books some gear and a lap top. Feels pretty burable too.

I use this backpack for college classes, and as a biology major, I have a lot of books to keep up with. The largest slot in the back is perfect for my laptop, and the 2nd largest slot holds all my books. I know books are heavy, but the backpack is very durable and holds it all well. At first it looked big for my frame, but after putting everything into it, it's not too bad. It looked kind of long (vertically). I dislike that it doesn't stand on it's own, so I have to lean it on something. This backpack would be great for a hike or anything outdoors. The pockets on the sides hold my large drink cups, and the front pocket can carry really large drink cups. I've never had a North Face backpack before, but I like the Recon style but especially the color. I chose the backpack for the color and style. The color is brighter in person versus darker, but it's still a forest green color. I'm very pleased!

The first thing I did for the new school year was buy this amazing backpack. This backpack is stylish, super comfortable, and just perfect for a college student.

I live this back pack. Got it for school. Holds all my gear comfortably. Researched a lot of back packs but this one beats all

I use this back pack for my MacBook and books for grad school.

Great backpack for the school year. Will use for at least 2-3 years, that's how durable it is.

The main reason I purchased this back pack was for school. The color selection is huge, has a durable bottom and every area is just designed almost flawlessly. Also, with the lifetime warranty you can't beat it..

Nice backpack for kids go to middle schools.

I bought this bag for my daughter for school she loves it and she recommended it to her friends

I've bought 4 of these now over the years! The first wasn't called a recon, but similar.

I use this product for school. It has enough pockets for all of my supplies. It is the perfect bookbag for school. I will continue to buy north face products.

Awesome bag! Plenty of room and great for holding everything you need for school or whatever else it is being used for!

I bike to school and it is soo comfortable on my back while biking. Its roomy, organizational, sturdy (my 15 inch laptop fits comfortably & is protected). I loveeeee love love the look. That's primarily why I bought it. Its sportsy but edgy. I have room for my school supplies, water bottles, and the SUPPORT it gives while carrying all these things is amazing. I will probably be using it when I travel home as well. Overall a great product for the price!
