Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Recon

My daughter chose this backpack. She carefully considered all of her options and found this one to meet her projected college bound needs. Then when her twin brother starting looking for backpacks she shared her find. My son liked what his sister found and since there was a guy version that was attractive to hiim, we decided to order it.

Hiking and travel

Fully loaded the pack for 1.5 day trip and walked with it for hours. Quick to find a comfort level for the weight

excelent backpack

Backpack is perfect for school and safely holds laptop.

Love this backpack! Lightweight and fits well. I take it to and from the office every day. A number of the pockets have very soft lining and are perfect for my laptop, phone, etc.

Great bag, just what I was looking for. Great organization means that although it holds a lot, I can always find what I need. It holds several folders, books, and a tablet with easy room for a small laptop. I put everything that would go in a purse in the second pocket, so I only have to carry this bag. To top it off, this bag is hands down the most comfortable backpack I have ever had. It really does fit my narrow shoulders without falling off. The only downside is minor: when I put it down, it won't stand up unless it is leaning against something.

I have never used north face backpacks before but decided to purchase one this year because I heard that it's really comfortable if I have to carry many items. The previous backpacks I hurt my back a lot as I have to carry a lot of notebooks and electronics for school. After purchasing this backpack, I was able to fit the same amount of the items as the previous but it contributed no pain to my back. My back in return was supported with the materials embedded in this backpack. As a college student who has to walk a lot with materials all day long, I would say this is one of the best school investments I've made. The material and design is also very well implemented.

Purchased for my son. He has it loaded with books, computer and gaming devices. It handles it all! Quality construction, from the material used, extra stitching in the seams, to the high quality zippers. Well worth your money!

I bought this backpack for a Caribbean cruise vacation. It held everything I needed for traveling. It holds all the essentials. It's just the right size, not too big or too small.

I use this everyday for school. It has the same book weight that I used with my old backpack but it feels less because of the padding and the way it lays.

I bought this for my daughter to begin graduate school. The backpack she previously had, also Northface was used throughout high school and 4 years of college. It was a great backpack and was still in great condition but it was time for something new that hadn't been written and doodled on.

I mostly use backpack when commuting. I put the same amount of items as in my previous backpack and there's still room in it and it feels lighter than my other one. I would definitely recommend this backpack.

I love everything about this back pack! It is so comfortable and fits everything I need! I cannot imagine going back to any other bag I've carried before. The only thing I'd wish to change is that sometimes the zipper gets stuck, but other than that little mishap, it's perfect.

Love this backpack! I re-bought this style after my first one lasted me three years and I loved everything about it. Great for school and very comfortable.

easy to carry, not too heavy, fit my shoulder, perfect for me

Great color! Highly functional! Multiple compartments!

My daughter loved the north face recon backpack . It is really comfortable and great for school . Worth what was spent you will love it

This is an amazing backpack for students or day hikers! The bag is padded and engineered in a way that makes even a heavy load comfortable. I can have my laptop and textbooks in the bag without my back hurting. The color selection is amazing too!

I can wear it all day and still be comfortable. Perfect size for carrying everything I need for class without feeling overstuffed or bulky. Have used it for a couple day hikes and it's also perfect for that, I would definitely want it bigger for a longer excursion though. I've been debating a new bag for the past few months and I can't have asked for better with this one ! Also the color is the perfect finishing touch

This backpack is amazing it fits everything. I have a MacBook, cords, several books, all my pens, notecards, and lunch. The water bottle holders on the sides are great too and my large 320z. Bottle never falls out. I love the padded sunglasses pocket it keeps them so protected. I live in Reno and we had a blizzard the other day and walking to my classes my backpack got wet but not soaked and my stuff stayed safe!

I love this product and tell people to buy again and again.

I use it for books and notebooks as I have many different studies I am in, also I use it when going out of town!

Great Bag

I use this product for college and so far it has held up with all my books! Love the space and different pockets for different things.
