Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Perfect!! Well constructed. We purchased this book bag for my middle schooler and it has been a great fit for what he needs throughout the week. The water bottle pockets are large in size. The laptop zipper pocket is very firm so no worries about it getting damaged.

My daughter had the Jester backpack for school last year. She found it wasn't big enough for textbooks, laptop, all the things. We went with the Recon this year and is much happier. It is nice having a separate zipper area for the laptop to keep it away from the heavy textbooks. The additional space makes it easier to get things in and out.

My daughter loves it, she use it daily for school, shes love in it, exterior and interior of the backpack...

Purchased for my son for the upcoming school year. He loves the color and durability of this backpack.

I'm using this backpack for school, I like how comfortable the straps are, specially with all the heavy books I have inside. It has various pockets and straps that can be adjusted. I would definitely recommend this product.

Perfect size for high school. Lots of compartments to keep things organized

Best product Good for College as well as hiking

for school, lot of room!

Great backpack with awesome material and stitching. Tons of storage and work paying the little extra from the cheaper ones that they sell.

This would be my son's new school year backpack. He loves it, the features, that it is waterproof, the different compartments, the style. The only thing he was concerned about is that the laptop compartment does not have extra support to keep it inside that space, as his sister backpack which is the Surge Luxe model does. He didn't like that it is was wide open. So, he purchased a laptop sleeve to protect his device. He is a very particular 8th grader, he likes the color and the support that provides it in his back.

Amazing! I had to get for work laptop, water bottles, etc. I had multiple bags & needed hands free. Great for when get back to hiking trips too! Easy to use!

Amazing

Everyday use. I still have my first Recon backpack that I purchased over 20 years ago and I still use it!!!!

I got this for college and it was perfect! I put all my textbooks in it to move in and it was so sturdy!!

Excellent quality! I just wish it had two more zippers in the front pocket.

Brought for my son to start his Freshman year in high school. Since they are only allowed at their lockers before and after school, he needed one with space but not so bulky and heavy. This one is perfect and no doubt will last him the whole year or even longer.

Perfect book bag my child going into HS. Good quality.
