Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I love this bag! I take my laptop to and from work daily and the laptop sleeve is perfect for my thin laptop. I also bring gym clothes and a pair of tennis shoes with me daily and there's is plenty of room for these items without the bag feeling bulky. It's professional looking so I don't feel out of place taking this to the office every day, yet it's durable and stain resistant so I have also taken it biking and hiking. It's not an oversized bag so I would not recommend this for a long trip (unless you are a very light packer which I am not). Overall I absolutely recommend this bag!

Walking through the hallways at school, there's always a sea of North Face backpacks. Needing a new backpack, I decided to try out TNF backpacks, trusting their popularity. Now that I've had mine for a couple weeks, I can tell you the reason for their popularity: they're good quality and highly functional. More than that, the heather/burnt coral metallic Recon backpack (the one that I bought) is beautiful. There's plenty of space, but also exemplary organization. Instead of throwing my pencil into my old backpack (a brand other than North Face) and then failing to find it in the depths of it, there's a whole compartment for all my school supplies that makes putting them away and finding them again a breeze. My old backpack was a cheap $20 one that had major rips within a few months of use, and buying one TBF backpack that will last years is finically smarter than buying a new $20 one every year for the remainder of my education. I know I'll even be able to use the TNF after I graduate; the backpacks is that durable. Also, even with binders, textbooks, and notebooks, the backpack's clever design lessens the strain on my shoulders and back, making it nonexistent. I'm looking forward to many of years of loving my TNF Recon backpack, as I know the features are very durable and well worth the money spent.

I love this bag! I've used it for commuting to work, traveling, and hiking. The only thing that could use improvement would be if the bag could fit more in it. It doesn't seem to hold it's full potential. Aside from that, it is very durable and has numerous pockets which make it ideal for almost any situation.

My first backpack broke and this was its replacement. So far, thrilled with the quality.

Bought it for myself with traveling in mind. My wife and grand daughter saw it the day it arrived. They checked it first. Both said the same. Are you going to get me one? The quality was very good Pockets and adjustment items were all thought out. This item is a keeper.. A Recon backpack. Doing hiking with my son in The eastern Rockies this summer. Am considering this event a final evaluation of the backpack.

Comfortable, durable, stylish, versatile.

I love this backpack, great space to store your computer. It has a lot of different pockets outside of the main zipper pocket.

I use this product for small road trips and for school. The high quality can be seen right away, it feels and looks incredible.

Plenty of room for textbooks and laptop.

This book bag is AMAZING I bought its black and light blue one and overall it's great. There is a perfect amount of room for all my school needs. I have huge binders and they fit perfectly. However my only issue is that the book bag does stand on its own without something on its back to support it. It's a small issue however and can be fixed. Something that I love so much about the book bag is that the straps are easily adjustable and super comfortable! I definitely recommend this book bag to any student especially if you carry a lot of stuff.

Perfect for school!

Bought this backpack for my son who just started college and he loves it.

It's the perfect backpack for all students. It's stylish and comfortable AND most importantly durable so I won't have to buy a new one anytime soon, which I love. No matter how much I put in this bag it still feels so light and comfy. Looks beautiful as well.

Awesome backpack! Worth the price!!!!

Got this for work. It is both practical and professional looking. Fits all I need at the hospital without getting overly stuffed looking. Sit comfortably on my back without feeling too heavy.

I love this backpack! It's very comfortable and has lots of room!

I love it, I just wish there were bigger pockets.

I use my backpack for school and it's been really nice to use. One downside to this backpack is that the backpack can't stand vertically; it always has to be laid down on the front or back.

I bought this backpack for travel back and forth on the train!! I love it ! It's roomy and I keep finding new pockets !!

Happy with my purchase

We bought the pack and now my teenage son and I fight over who gets to use it.

Perfect for transporting laptops and other electronics to and from work. The padded pocket is just the right size. The additional pockets have room for anything you might want carry with you.

Great product and I highly recommend it.

My Granddaughter was thrilled to receive this backpack for her future high school days. She loves all the compartments and has a place to store her laptop. She really liked the color combination.

I use for the school, Its an excelent for all books, notebook, laptop
