Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

We bought this backpack for our high school freshman to use to tote books to and from classes. As she will live out of this backpack, we liked the separate compartment for her computer, and the outside pocket to catch odds and ends. She especially liked the color.

My son LOVES the North Face brand and the color red. He did his research and decided this is what he wanted for his Jr year of HS. So far so great, he loves it!

there are many pockets for a lot of uses this bag will become very handy

This backpack is well-designed and durable. My primary use for this is carrying gear while traveling and hiking. So far it has held up perfectly, and I can tell by the construction of the bag that will last for a long time. My only criticism is that I wish it were a little lighter, but at a little over 2lbs, there's not much to complain about. The colors are great, there were so many choices that I actually had trouble choosing which I wanted. I love this bag and look forward to many more adventures with it.

Great backpack. Got it for my niece and she loves it.

I use this product for school. It is comfortable, spacious, and has the capacity to hold everything from books to water bottles. The laptop pocket is great.

Really enjoy this product!

I bought this backpack for my son who is a sophomore in HS. He was able to fit 5 large binders in it for the first day. Very well made! The straps offer a lot of support and comfort when carrying it. He liked all the different compartments for his calculator, pens/pencils and phone.

Purchased for our granddaughter for high school. She loves it, well made, comfortable, stylish, plenty of compartments.

I went back and forth comparing different styles for my daughter going into high school. I wanted the roomiest backpack for books and large binders...And of course something that would last.
