Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

Love the back pack

I travel a lot for work and this has met my needs. Holds my laptop securely and has plenty of pockets for pens and cables. I also like the hooks for carabiners. The backpack feels comfortable and has good cushioning in the right spots; not too hot. The only downside is the hip buckle strap. I never use it but I with it was easier to attach and remove. I just leave it dangling there.

Used a Mountain Hardware Memo bag for years until a zipper finally gave up. So my review really is comparing to this pack. Found the Recon looking for something to haul laptop, lunch, jacket, etc to and from work. This is JUST big enough for those duties. I really like the narrower shape. It is very comfortable to wear on the bike and I like it very much. I bought a second to have a spare. I do miss the Memo's extra zippered pockets that I could keep my phone and wallet in when riding - can't have too many small pockets on a daily use bag. Another divider in the main compartment would be nice too.

Very good product.

Very sturdy and I love the color!

I bought this backpack for my granddaughter for Christmas and she absolutely loved it. The quality is exceptional and it is very stylish.

Fishing

It's sturdy which makes carrying lists of books and a laptop more comfortable then a normal backpack.

I used this backpack for med school so it helped me carry very heavy book!

Great backpack. I use it daily to carry my laptop and accessories to and from work. Compartments are super functional and it's comfortable to carry even when it is full.

My daughter uses this backpack everyday in high school and said it is the most comfortable backpack she has ever used. It doesn't make her back hurt. Very stylish and it holds books for all classes. Very durable and great quality. We are extremely happy with this purchase as it was the first North Face backpack we have owned. I would highly remmend this and will never buy anything else.

I've now received 2 emails from North Face to review a product I tried to buy 3 times but never actually received. My order was canceled because the item was "out of stock." Only to wake up the next morning to an email from North Face that this item was back in stock. Order backpack. Out of stock email. Back in stock email. Repeat. I thought the 3rd time would be the charm but I gave up after that.

Love this backpack..I bought my son a similar Northface backpack in 2004...its Black and Yellow...he still uses it and absolutely loves it... The zipper is starting to have problems, so he will need to get that repaired...very long life . Hoping mine lasts as long!

best bag brand. durable. first bag lasted 10 years. this bag looks it will last as long too.

This backpack is the most stylish one I have ever owned. The material is extremely durable while also being lightweight making it the perfect backpack to carry all the things you need for a day adventure. I am very satisfied with everything about this product. If you want to buy the best backpack on the market the northface brand is the way to go.

This for me is hands down the best backpack. I have used it to go to school but also use it when I go on road trips with my daughter! It's very rooms and has many pockets! I recommend it 100%

Bought it as a gift for my Dad. He loves it! Has a lot of compartments and is good for travel! Definitely recommended for people who want everything in one bag.

I use this backpack for work every single day and when I travel through the airport. I can comfortably fit a weekend's worth of clothes and my chrome book.

School bag

Plenty of room for my school books and laptop.

Been using it for med school, hold all my stuff and has been really helpful.

Has lots of pockets, which is helpful for someone as scatterbrained as me. Enough space for computer and notebooks and a jacket if necessary. And it's stylish.

My daughter uses this for school with heavy books, laptop, and hydro flask bottle. Pretty strong!

This is a great backpack, extremely user friendly and very durable. This pack is great for all uses whether recreation or school. I love this pack and look forward to using it for many years to come.

I really do not like the mesh pockets on the side. they are fragile so I never keep my water bottle there. but other than that it is a great backpack. my last one lasted 4 years and it was still in good condition. i really like the rose gold design on this one:D
