Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Such vibrant colors and good material

I have several packs however I bought this for bike commuting and is perfect for my needs. I would recommend it highly.

I've had other variants of the Recon and I love this design. I love the mesh pocket front to throw stuff in quickly - this version's mesh pocket feels the most secure yet! Lots of pockets, padding and space, while remaining sleek. This is my favorite backpack.

Good Quality, an excellent product I use it to travel worldwide carrying my personal belongings!

Use it daily for work and going to the gym. Use it for travel as well. Love the storage for sunglasses, and loads of pockets to keep things dry. Only downside was it felt like it is smaller then 30 liters capacity. You might have to really shove stuff in to get to 30 liters. Overall id but again... Better than some competitors bags!!

The main pocket where the laptop fits in is a little too tight. Would like more room to be able to fit a notebook next to it. Also, the next larger pocket has a very narrow throat opening due to the smaller pocket in front of it. This prevents you from getting larger items through the opening. Once you get past the opening, it is ok, The smaller pocket in front of it needs to be designed differently and be a little larger.

Love the bag so many pockets to store so much in, very comfortable.

I use this for work on the weekdays and for day activities on the weekend, 10/10. Epic design.

It is a great bag

Took this on tour and could not be happier with how much I can fit in this thing. In an orderly fashion too.

Great backpack ! Bought one in my high school years and now it's my range bag and still in great working order, this new one fits my work labtop perfectly and so far so good.

This Recon pack is a replacement for another one and the color is great. The straps feel sturdy considering daily use at school. It is also very comfortable and has many good pockets for my ear buds and glasses. The water bottle pockets are great as well and can hold my big water bottle. Overall I recommend this pack.

I hate this bag so much. Not worth the money. The company should seriously reconsider their design. Here's why: 1) this bag DOES NOT STAND ON ITS OWN. i tried empty, i tried with only laptop, I tried with laptop and books, i tried with laptops, books, and lunch, filled every compartment and yet will not stand by itself and will face-slam the ground. 2) the compartment of these bags are useless and don't utilize space well. The laptop compartment is so thin it just fits the laptop because god forbid you want to carry the charger too in the same compartment. The main compartment is deceivingly large; if you put anything in the other outer small compartments it takes away space from the main one and make it weirdly wide from the bottom but very narrow at the top because of their bad design. 3) because most space is occupied by the main part, i guess now you have to combine books, lunch, snacks, chargers and anything you have in that mixed bag since all other compartments would not fit. I really regret buying such an expensive bag. I should have replaced my High Sierra with another one.

Perfect bag for everyday use or a weekend trip. The compartments are well placed and space is ample.

The backpack is light and with a large space to store things. Very nice backpack!

Great backpack for travel, work, or otherwise. Sits really well on your back and has all easy access compartments. Highly recommend.

Excellent material, very comfortable. It can be used to carry my laptop or to go hiking, in any case it is functional and resistant, I recommend it.

Love my backpack I travel with it everyday

Great backpack, quite compact. I should have done more research as I was looking for one with a bit more storage capacity but I'm happy with my purchase.

This is a well made backpack. I like that it has multiple compartments for storing and caring items. I will be using this backpack for our upcoming Disney vacation.

Use this thing for work. Good pockets for my laptop and notebooks and stuff. If you're tryna put big jackets or a blanket this prolly isn't for you.

Love the elastic front sack. It is ideal for snacks and random small items that you need quick.

Great pack for carrying laptop and extras. 4 pockets overall (varying sizes) and each serves its purpose.

Great low profile backpack, a lot of room but doesn't look too big

The best backpack ever bought
