Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Perfect size for travel, fits under airplane seats well. Securely holds my laptop. Just the right number of pockets and compartments, easy to locate and grab what I need. Comfortable to carry, one strap or both. Has all the features of packs costing twice as much.

Great backpack with lots of well designed pockets and features. I really like the mesh pocket, it is great for tossing items quickly into the bag. I get lots of compliments on the green color too!

Love it! Great for school, carries everything!

Love it! Use it for traveling and hiking with kids. Very full of compartments and pouches- I recommend it.

My son loves this backpack and it's very sturdy and strong. He uses it for school.

The Recon replaced a similar TNF bag I had, but that tore within a year. The quality of material in this one seems more durable, and the compartments -- especially for laptop -- are super convenient. I'm really enjoying this bag!

The material is beautiful and the price is right With student discount and the customer service is outstanding

Love the backpack. Very well made, sturdy and perfect for a travel backpack.. Love it

I got this book bag for my son to use for school. He easily fits his binder, computer, and still has room for much more. He also likes how comfortable the bag is on his back.

I purchased this backpack over 10 years ago for 9th grade. Still using it now in law school. It's held up perfectly with no issues other than a couple of the zipper handles falling off. Definitely one of the best small investments I've ever made!

a lot of space

The Recon features a sleek, ergonomic design with a padded back panel and adjustable shoulder straps, ensuring comfort even when carrying heavier loads. The FlexVent suspension system enhances ventilation and support, making it suitable for extended wear.

My oldest needed a long lasting, durable, backpack for the next chapter in her Education and this bag is checking all tge boxes. I've had mine for 20+ years and I hope she can do the same!

Very durable and looks great. Lots of places to put stuff for my son in high school. Works great!

I use this backpack for nursing school. It's great for storing all my things especially being a commuter student.

Big fan of these backpacks I love it its my 3rd one

Beautiful, sturdy, and functional.

Good quality but shipping package problem need a paper box much better

Bought this bag for my son, to use for college. He loves it, as it has three component, and a large area for his laptop. Great quality, and structure.

Best Backpack for College! I can put everything I need for a full day of classes!

Bought for my son for school. Seems to be working out well.

I purchased it for my son entering 8th grade. He tends to carry too many things in the backpack but he said this was comfortable on his back. He likes the straps on the front and the whistle, lol. It holds his Stanley securely on the side. I ended up purchasing one for his twin sister based on his reviews.
