Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I purchased this Recon BackPack for my 15 year old grandson as a back to school present. Not only does he use it daily for his books, papers and laptop, but he also uses it to transport his swim gear. As a year round competitive swimmer and also on the Myers Park High School Mustang swim team, he needed a durable backpack for not only school but dual use with swim gear.

Great backpack for school!!!

I use my North Face backpack to school, and it is very helpful. I have to carry a lot of heavy books and binders and it all fits in the backpack and it's comfy too!

This bag is everything I needed. It is durable, so it is holding up to my three textbooks and various binders and sheet music, and still has room for my lunch. I can also fin a good two weeks worth of clothes in it which makes for easy travel. It's organizational pockets have greatly helped me keep up with everything at school. I do wish the front pouch was a little bigger to fit a pair of running shoes however. This bag is fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Loves how durable but love how stylish

I am on the smaller side (5'3") and this backpack works! I was afraid it was going to be too big and bulky for me but it is perfect, it fits all of my notebooks, textbooks, and counter for school and the straps help disperse the weight. Along with the extra padding, my back doesn't hurt after a long day of classes! Also my 40 oz hydro flask water bottle fits perfectly in the pocket. Will be purchasing all backpacks from north face in the future.

I bought this for my 13 year old daughter because she loved it and because the North Face backpack I bought my 15 year old daughter when she was 13 is still in great shape. For her it's all about looking cool. For me it's about value and a quality product. This backpack gives us both and I expect she'll still be looking cool with it as she heads to high school next year.

This was the very first North Face backpack I have purchased for either of my children and I can't believe what we have been missing out on! It's so lightweight and durable and how can anyone argue with a lifetime guarantee!!

Bought this bag for our teenage daughter. She has been carrying "stylish" designer bags for the last 3 years that are less than "sturdy". I finally talked her into a more traditional bag that was stylish that she could use for more than 1 season. I was tired of hearing "That's not cool anymore" She spotted this bag and said that she liked it. I ordered it figuring that if she didn't like it I would keep it for myself. She absolutely loves it. Has just enough organization pockets and large pockets for books and gym clothes and is supper stylish!

Fits my laptop and all my materials for school!

Another perfect back to school backpack from Northface! We went with this over the Borealis for the extra room. Beautiful color and fantastic use of space...its like a portable office space. Lightweight and very roomy without the bulk. Excellent backpack!

Daughter loves this backpack. Perfect size

I use this product as a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. It is light weight, comfortable, and highly functional. I love the built in compartment for my laptop to keep it safe and protected. I would recommend this product to all students, business people on travel, and more.

This is a great backpack. Never ordered from Northface but love the quality of this backpack. Would recommend to any high schooler or college student

Mainly use it when I go places to carry my stuff like practice and school etc.

Love this backpack

This backpack is accompanying me to Italy and has already exceeded my expectations. It is thoughtfully designed and roomy, and the color and texture are unique and attractive. It holds as much as I want to carry, and has great built-in pockets for electronic devices.

This is a great bookbag I use it for high school I would defiantly buy it again, very comfortable bookbag and can carry many things, the only thing is That the bookbag is a little heavy

Love this backpack for college. It fits all of my books and it exactly what I was looking for.

I use this as my college backpack and it's awesome!! Would totally recommend.

I use this product every day for school, use it as a carry on during travel. If I need it overnight I pack stuff in it and it is awesome for space. I can fit everything I need in it.

My niece loves this for school

bought this backpack for my daughter who is in 10th grade. She carries a lot of books and supplies for school. This bag holds it all, looks GREAT, and is very durable.

The backpack is perfect just what my son expected when he ordered. I was concerned with the cost but I believe it is worth the money spent. Looks even better in person.

I use this backpack for all my school books labtop! It is easy to carry around campus and is very cute. Love the color and durability.
