Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

I bought this for my son in high school. His old backpack couldn't handle the load. He loves this backpack, can fit everything comfortably. I would highly recommend.

I use The North Face backpacks to school and I love them because they are the most comfortable, they are all so cute, and they have also grown a lot in popularity because they are just the best backpacks. No matter how much stuff I have in my backpack it feels like I'm carrying feathers on my back. The North Face just has took a lot of time and dedication into creating something the people would love the results have come out perfect. I believe everyone should buy themselves a backpack they might be on the pricier side but they do last quite a while I have had mine for 3 years and they are washer and dryer safe. After having mine and loving it I bought a backpack for my brother and he also loves it. Thank you The North Face for making such amazing backpacks my back is thanking you.

My daughter researched this backpack before purchasing, and she loves it. She is a high school student with plenty of notebooks and a laptop. She says it is much roomier than it looks, and that everything fits in nicely. She also says the backpack is comfortable to wear and has great padding for her back.

Everyday bag

A great choice for myself! I bought this bag last year . I always look online to check reviews,look on company websites then make a choice for myself. I have used this as day bag as a, travel bag, carry on flight bag,and most recently i bought a canon DSLR and 2 lenses with a with a camera bag to hold all. that bag fits in the main compartment along with some extra clothing! So this summer 2019 i'm doing a 4 day camping/fishing trip and one of the days (weather permitting) a canoe and portage a couple of lakes away with this TNF Recon,just need a good rain cover just in case it downpours. Thanks much to THE NORTH FACE

We bought this for my college age son. He loves it. He said it is super comfortable for walking all over campus.

This is a great everyday bag. Perfect for skiing and going to work.

Being a student that has to lug around 5-6 books and/or binders daily, I needed a comfortable, but extremely durable backpack. This backpack has been awesome! The straps make the heavy load seem not too bad. The seams/stitching are extra tough and withholding of the weight and activity related to daily use.

Use it for college, very comfortable, roomy, and stulish!

This not your basic, low-tier Jansport backpack that everyone and their younger sibling wears. This is what you get when you put together versatility and style, for a backpack that delivers comfort, and is functional enough to handle whatever you need it for. Unfortunately, you won't be getting the coveted 'Supreme' brand collaboration that is highly sought after by 14-year-old kids and grown men who still dress as the former. However, 'The North Face' is a brand that is strong enough to stand on its own two feet, and as such, it deserves its recognition for possibly being the best backpack I've owned for school thus far. Well done, 10/10, would wear again and again.

I ride my bike to work and need a backpack that's roomy and comfortable plus has pockets and pouches for all my stuff that I take with me. This pack is excellent and the materials and construction are top quality.

Great for school and activities! Very roomy and has great padding for computer and other electronics.

Great backpack on campus-plenty if roomformy laptop, books, and plenty of pockets for all my gear.

I love this backpack. It's the only backpack that fulfills my needs and doesn't make me feel like an 8 year old child going to school. I use it every day to carry my Macbook, gym gear and other items into the office. - It's so well formed, structured and sturdy - it's sits really comfortably on my back and doesn't sag or make my spine curve. - It feels slim and not too bulky because you can distribute items in it vertically - i.e. stack them up on top of each other, to prevent items all sagging at the bottom. - There are loads of pockets - I have an area for my Macbook, a separate area for gym clothes (to keep the other parts fresh), and another area for small personal items. I have a little section for everything so I never have to fumble or scramble around. - The bottle pockets and open front pocket are really stretchy and tight so you don't have to worry about things sliding out. - It looks smart and professional for a large backpack. I don't feel like a child wearing it, I feel like a normal office professional. - Travel wise, it fits beautifully under a plane seat/bus/train rack due to it not getting too bulky when filled. Really happy with my investment!

Great back. Roomy, well made, and looks good.

Second one purchased, the last one lasted 10 plus years, from middle school to high school and summer vacation. Still usable, but it time get a new one.

I love the backpack. I expected more room in the large section, but it's fine because its main purpose is my laptop. Still fits my needs.

Great for college!

My wife and I originally bought an older version of this bag to use as a baby bag. We were frustrated with the lack of space and durability of many other baby bags and decided to give a real pack a try. No turning back! Fits everything for the kids and more! Having the expandable front pocket it clutch. Using this bag has been so much better than using a traditional baby bag. With some innovation and design geared towards that use and demographic, The North Face would probably crush it in that category. Since then we've purchased another to use for ourselves during travel and other miscellaneous activities. Highly recommend!

i use this for high school everyday. it's durable so it can hold heavy textbooks and laptops. very comfortable on my back and easy to access everything.

This backpack has helped me through my school year a lot ! It's comfortable padding supports my back all day. My last backpack was incredibly heavy and large which left my back in pain. With my new backpack, I have space for all my books and school supplies. Plus , it's super cute and instyle.

I use this backpack for school and it is such an improvement from my old backpack! It is so much more comfortable and durable! Overall great product!

Use this for school and when traveling. Love the compartments, easy access.

Bought this for myself sister because she like mine. She loves the color and how it works for many things. She uses it for work and daily carrying the things she needs.
