Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

This was a gift for my wife and she loves it. She was amazed there were so many pockets, and that they were all padded. She really like the floating computer carrier. She has a brand new computer to put in there, and it gave her comfort that it wouldn't get damaged.

My daughter uses this backpack for high school. It is very well made and comfortable. The color is great! She could probably use a little more room. But it seems to be working great so far!

I use the product to put all my colleges books. All of them fit so good with the space that the bookbag have

LOVE this backpack! I lost my last North Face backpack in a house fire last year. It turned out to be my saving grace because all my textbooks and electronics were completely untouched by smoke. I had no doubt in my mind that my next backpack was going to be another North Face. The fit is great,the bag itself is very roomy for my laptop and my four classes worth of textbooks, notebooks and folders. I love the water bottle side pockets as the trek across campus is a long one and the smaller front pockets ( the mesh pocket and the smaller zip pocket) are perfect for smaller things like my planner, pencil case, phone, tablet and chargers. I ALWAYS insist on getting a North Face backpack when anyone asks because if it weren't for mine, i wouldn't have any of my things for school or my electronics.

Awesome pack.This was made with lots of attention to detail which provides lots of convenience, also great for organization

I love this product! I will get many years of use out of it!

Great for carrying books.

This is actually the best bag I've brought. It's a little pricey but it's actually worth the money. I would recommend to a friends. BIG THUMPS UP

My 16-year-old daughter loves this book bag. She had a NF book bag last year and loved it also...hence the purchase of a 2nd one for this year in a different color. :-) Perfect book bag for high school students.

I use this product for school everyday. I am a sophomore in college and it has plenty of room to fit everything and more! The laptop compartment is my favorite feature that the backpack offers.

This is the best back my son has ever owned!! It is not only great looking but also very comfortable. He carries lots of books in high school and the the padded back and shoulder straps makes it very easy to wear.

I use this pack for school and outdoor adventures alike, and it holds up wonderfully.

Great because it has features that other backpacks don't have.

My daughter bought it for school. Loves it. Fits all her stuff and her comper

Would love for a little more room but works great for school!

My daughter uses it for school to carry I pad air and I feel it protects well i also bought another one for my oldest daughter that take her Mac notebook to school

I bought this backpack for my daughter to use for school this year. There is plenty of room and it is so comfortable to carry. I plan to use it when we travel.

I've only owned this bag for a few weeks (Recon Gry/Orng). So far, I'm a fan of the design and layout, but obviously I haven't been able to put it to any big tests yet. Built into the back is some sort of plastic support, which I'm a huge fan of. Keeps it straight. Not sure if it can be removed, but someone who is looking to fold up/bunch up the bag might find this as a disadvantage, but I like that it doesn't slouch over when I set it on the ground.

I am a college student and I can honestly fit all of my books, laptop, paper, etc in here without ruining anything.

Love this backpack....perfect for my new school!

Daughter is using this backpack for high school!! Everything has a place to go in this backpack!! She loves it!! Color is exactly what she wanted and is exactly how it was described!!

I ordered the grey/orange new Recon to replace my backpack for college, and I love it! The new design is extremely comfortable and intuitive. The pocket placements are perfect and I know I will utilize them all. Definitely an improvement from my last school backpack!

I got this backpack for college, and it has been perfect for every need. It has alot of space to pit binders in and a place for your computer. I would recommend this backpack to anyone.

I just use this project for a school book bag. I had a recon before and went back to buy another one because I loved it so much. It looks great and minimalizes heavy loads making it comfortable and fashionable. I would recommend this bag to anybody from the avid outdoorsman to an average student.

I love how the backpack is extremely durable and very comfortable when there is a lot of things in it and when having to walk long distances.
