Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Got this for my son for school. He's only in 4th grade. It's a bit large for him, but he loves it. The quality so far seems great; I imagine this could be his backpack through high school. The small amount of padding and structure will be great once he starts carrying a computer and/or heavier books around.

Great backpack - great for EDC and hiking; works in the city, while traveling, and in the outdoors.

Perfect for a freshman in HS!

I use the backpack for school every single day of the week. I love the back board in the back of the backpack because it protects my laptop very well. I also really enjoy how much pockets there are in it. Seriously this backpack is perfect.

It has been absolutely perfect for college! Feels great on my back, and even with lots of stuff in it, I don't feel the weight as much. It has been very easy to put everything I need in it, and it has worked it's purpose perfectly for me.

My youngest son's first NF backpack. He uses it for school and loves how much interior room it has to hold all of his gear. The backpack itself is also stylish and practical.

Comfortable, not too big, nice pockets It fits a 16" laptop, but without an extra sleeve on it

This was a gift for my High Schooler. It is perfect! NorthFace makes durable, efficient backpacks. I have others like the Jester and the Borealis and they're just as great

Lots of pockets, great for hiking and camping.

Stylish, roomy pack. Great for weekend trips. Easy to put in and take off through the airport.

Great back pack for middle/high schoolers! Very durable material that withstands daily wear and tear. The colors are also very bright and fun.

Works great for school

Bought this backpack for my son for high school great organization extremely durable looks great comfortable as well!

Bought this for short trips and ease through the airport. Ample room to pack the necessities and super comfortable straps. It was a great addition to my travel gear!

Great backpack for high school! Love that this has a separate laptop sleeve and many areas to store things.

great bag to send my son to college with. lots of room and pockets without being overwhelming. when we moved into the suite 3 of the 4 boys had the same Recon in Black! great minds!

Great!

I purchased the Recon backpack for my son as a high school freshman. This bag is legit! Beautifully constructed. Thoughtfully detailed, this backpack carries it all (perhaps too much as this sucker can get heavy)! Even his largest refillable water bottle fits in the outer side pocket (when the bag is stuffed full). My son absolutely loves it. Style meets obvious functionality.

The water bottle pouch is so much better than the last North Face I had.

Great look and super durable!

This backpack has held up well being used on a college campus. It has just the right amount of space and compartments.

I bought this for both of my sons and they love it! They are in high school and have had no issues with these backpacks. It holds all of their things and is easy on their backs.

Great color combination, will be used for college books/laptop and while skiing for water/food/supplies. Perfect size and streamlined shape to hold a lot but not be bulky.

Works well
