Customer Reviews The North Face Recon Backpack

I love this backpack. It has good support for my laptop and I don't see myself hovering over because my backpack is too heavy. I can't hold a lot of my books but I have very big books and binders. It is very fashionable and is worth the money.

I purchased this Recon BackPack for my 15 year old grandson as a back to school present. Not only does he use it daily for his books, papers and laptop, but he also uses it to transport his swim gear. As a year round competitive swimmer and also on the Myers Park High School Mustang swim team, he needed a durable backpack for not only school but dual use with swim gear.

This is a great backpack. Never ordered from Northface but love the quality of this backpack. Would recommend to any high schooler or college student

Bought this bag for our teenage daughter. She has been carrying "stylish" designer bags for the last 3 years that are less than "sturdy". I finally talked her into a more traditional bag that was stylish that she could use for more than 1 season. I was tired of hearing "That's not cool anymore" She spotted this bag and said that she liked it. I ordered it figuring that if she didn't like it I would keep it for myself. She absolutely loves it. Has just enough organization pockets and large pockets for books and gym clothes and is supper stylish!

Mainly use it when I go places to carry my stuff like practice and school etc.

I bought this for my 13 year old daughter because she loved it and because the North Face backpack I bought my 15 year old daughter when she was 13 is still in great shape. For her it's all about looking cool. For me it's about value and a quality product. This backpack gives us both and I expect she'll still be looking cool with it as she heads to high school next year.

I use this product as a student at Virginia Commonwealth University. It is light weight, comfortable, and highly functional. I love the built in compartment for my laptop to keep it safe and protected. I would recommend this product to all students, business people on travel, and more.

Daughter loves this backpack. Perfect size

This was the very first North Face backpack I have purchased for either of my children and I can't believe what we have been missing out on! It's so lightweight and durable and how can anyone argue with a lifetime guarantee!!

Another perfect back to school backpack from Northface! We went with this over the Borealis for the extra room. Beautiful color and fantastic use of space...its like a portable office space. Lightweight and very roomy without the bulk. Excellent backpack!

Fits my laptop and all my materials for school!

I am on the smaller side (5'3") and this backpack works! I was afraid it was going to be too big and bulky for me but it is perfect, it fits all of my notebooks, textbooks, and counter for school and the straps help disperse the weight. Along with the extra padding, my back doesn't hurt after a long day of classes! Also my 40 oz hydro flask water bottle fits perfectly in the pocket. Will be purchasing all backpacks from north face in the future.

Love this backpack

This backpack is accompanying me to Italy and has already exceeded my expectations. It is thoughtfully designed and roomy, and the color and texture are unique and attractive. It holds as much as I want to carry, and has great built-in pockets for electronic devices.

This is a great bookbag I use it for high school I would defiantly buy it again, very comfortable bookbag and can carry many things, the only thing is That the bookbag is a little heavy

Love this backpack for college. It fits all of my books and it exactly what I was looking for.

My niece loves this for school

I use this as my college backpack and it's awesome!! Would totally recommend.

I use this product every day for school, use it as a carry on during travel. If I need it overnight I pack stuff in it and it is awesome for space. I can fit everything I need in it.

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 this backpack for all my school books labtop! It is easy to carry around campus and is very cute. Love the color and durability.

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

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.

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

bought this backpack for my daughter who is in 10th grade. She carries a lot of books and supplies for school. This bag holds it all, looks GREAT, and is very durable.
