Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

I had a recon backpack for 7 years. I used it daily for work & travel. I loved that pack and the layout of the compartments. It's well thought out and held up for 7 years with no issues. I noticed a zipper separating from the material one day so I returned it to TNF for repairs. They sent me a new Recon FREE OF CHARGE &it's better than the older model. It's laid out the same as the older model except they added a ldedicated laptop compartment. The new model is built like a tank yet very light and comfortable. I love it ND will buy another for my son. Highly recommend!!

It's a great all-purpose backpack. I use it on weekend trips, hikes, bring it work daily and utilize most if not all of the multi-faceted pockets every day.

Great customer service...love this company!

Awesome product! Northface is the only way to go!!!!

This will be a great gift for a new college student

I purchased this for my daughter who is in High School. It has held up extremely well! She carries all her books in it daily since they don't have lockers. The shoulder straps are padded well and she loves it!

Its very sturdy.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter, a sophomore in college. She loves it & says it's perfect. I usually buy a new backpack for her at the beginning of each school year. North Face has a great reputation & stands behind its merchandise. I'm hoping this will be the last backpack I buy for her.

I can fit everything into this bag. I never have to stop back at my dorm to switch things out-it holds it all.

I use this product for school and it's very cute! I really love the design and the main pockets have great room. However, the front pocket and is a little small for my preference.

It is a great product

I purchased the backpack for my daughter who is currently in graduate school. She's not one to go for a briefcase or laptop case, in fact she looked at dozens and this is the one she purchased. It's roomy enough for books, lunch, computer, extra chargers, etc., yet it's trimmed down to suit a woman. And that is a great attribute!

Great for everyday use with a bunch of different things. I use it for sports kit, books, instruments, travel etc and it's adaptable to everything because of the hybrid features. The external material is well water resistant which makes it work great even without a rain cover!

Best durable and roomy bag ever

I love this backpack, I bought this for a little more room for work files than my Borealis backpack would allow for. Love their backpacks and solid warranty to back them up!

I love how this backpack offers so many compartments and versatility. I'm excited to see that I can hang my nursing badge on the straps. This is hands down the best backpack I've invested in and I have no regrets. I normally buy the fleece jackets but I decided to see what the rave was about for this backpack since many students wear TNF backpacks on my college campus. I see myself using this bag for years and being able to keep this in good condition even after years. Thank you for a great design and sleek usage for a backpack!

This is the standard computer pack our company provides for all technicians. A 13" slim laptop swims in the oversized "tech" compartment with plenty of room to spare. The main compartment has plenty of room to carry a lightweight jacket or sweatshirt and additional items. The organizer compartment is good for carrying pens and other smaller items.

Would buy this product again and would highly recommend to anyone

It is bigger and more durable than i expected.

So after trying a few different actual diaper bags, we learned quickly they aren't that functional. We needed more space, more pockets, something we both could use and something that is comfortable so we turned to North Face! I know it isn't conventional but this is legit a perfect backpack for our needs! For all the other parents out there, give it a try! It's a game changer!

Fits all my school books and still have room left. Absolutely love it so much. It got delivered right when it said. Love the north face!

The only critiques I have for this pack are the following: (1) The second largest compartment could be slightly greater in depth (not length or width, but depth) as I find it a bit too narrow for all of my everyday things. (2) The third largest compartment that holds pencils could be a bit larger to fit a regular sized iPad versus only fitting an iPad Mini. (3) It would be great if the pack stood up by itself with my gear in it. As it is, my pack wants to tumble over on its back every time I put it on a surface or the ground to extract my things.

I use this backpack for school and traveling. This is the best backpack i have ever used! I love the color I got and how fast the shipping was. I think that the price is totally worth it. This bag isn't very durable and will last me for several years!

I had to give up my first backpack because it was just not fitting all of my casebooks. This backpack has been such a lifesaver. I can finally fit my books and water bottle and not have to carry anything in my hands. It's super roomy and has enough pockets for chargers and cables. Love my backpack!

I love this bag, it's very roomy and has a lot of space for books and my laptop
