Customer Reviews The North Face Recon Backpack

This was a gift for granddaughter. She was overjoyed with backpack.

I love the two water bottle holders! The many different pockets and storage places are amazing. I also really like how I can keep my laptop in there and not have to be concerned of it getting banged up.

This backpack is very comfortable and lightweight and easy to walk around and carry things like heavy books in. One of the great things about it is that there are straps to make it bigger and to fit more stuff into it if you are carrying a lot, but you can also fold it all back together and it becomes very small and easy to carry around. It is very easy and good for traveling because it is comfortable to walk around in and can fit a lot of things in it for big trips. There are lots of great pockets and little slips which I really like because I can feel safe putting small things in these pockets and not worry about losing them. One thing that The North Face could work on a little bit to make the backpack a little better than it already is would be to make the zippers a little less sticky. The zippers are okay, but sometimes when I zip them up or down they'll get stuck and I have to tug on them and jostle them around to get them working again. This backpack is great and I would definitely recommend getting it!

Travel & hiking

Great backpack. Big enough for everything.

Mainly used for school. Take the school belongings out and use it for the weekend camping activities.

Use in school I carry all my books constantly. Roomy packs well lots of pockets room for two water bottles.

Great looking and very functional. If it lasts as long as my old backpack I'll be thrilled!

Mostly for school use but great for day hikes.

For our 7 year old daughter. She loves it.

I got this backpack for school. My old backpack, the Isabella, is 9 years old and still in great condition, just too small. My family has always had great success with North Face products. I really like the asphalt camouflage color.

I use the backpack for school. I'm in college and like the capacity and comfort of the backpack. This is probably my third backpack from The North Face and I love them.

I purchased this for a gift for my daughter in college. It is worth the price. It appears to be well made. It is stylish while staying full functional

My daughter loves this backpack for school. Great size. Great pockets. Great all around bag.

Great pack. I highly recommend it for day trips or school.

Great size capacity for carrying heavy loads of books without added stress on shoulders and back! Only downside is that when full, it tips over when sitting it down instead of staying upright!

I use this backpack for medical school, and I love it. I can fit all my books and a day's worth of food and beverage to camp out at the library. The water bottle sleeves are excellent. The laptop sleeve is elevated so you can't hit your computer on the ground. Plenty of pockets for organizing, tons of room if needed but thin if more on the empty side. Overall, best backpack I have ever had, and with the quality I expect it to last.

I ordered this for my daughter who is a student for Christmas. We were very pleased with the service and how fast it shipped!
