Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I didn't doubt getting this backpack it was like love at first sight.

Needed a new work bag, and going from several high-end messenger bags, I wanted to get back into a backpack... but the RIGHT backpack. This was the perfect choice for me, for size, comfort and volume. Very comfortable to carry over one shoulder, or using both straps. Not too bulky, and can fit more than expected. One minor drawback is if you fill the top compartment, the main interior compartment gets tough to fill, since the weight is above and pushing down into that area...

I like the material and the size is perfect for camping in summer. Thank you for make this backpack.

Great material! Excellent quality and design. No need to second guess yourself with this back pack. Recommend it to anyone!

High quality. Great design. Fits perfectly under the seat for air travel.

This backpack when I received it was better than the pictures, I am one that not really read much about the product, the pictures are enough. When I got it was very happy. Now it is my favorite, because I owe few.

This backpack is very comfortable I walk a lot in a warm weather and it feels fresh and ventilates, the surface on the back is kind of rigid so it maintains the flow of air between the backpack and my back, It looks extremely good and fits my 14 inch laptop perfectly along with the charger and my notebooks. It also has soft pockets for electronics and hidden pockets for other valuables. My water bottle fits perfectly on the side pockets and doesn't fall accidentally. In general I am very happy with my purchase!

This is one of 7 our family owns and we clearly keep coming back for more. It's a bag for life and North Face has always shown they'll take care of any issues otherwise.

My wife loves it, thank you.

Great for work and commute. Lots of pockets and space for organizing stuff. I like having both a chest and waist strap for when I travel for work.

Good quality, very comfortable. Best backpack ive ever had.

I've used Recon backpacks for school, work, and travel for over 10 years now and this model is definitely my favorite one. It has has all of the features I was looking for, including a separate protective laptop compartment extra small pockets/pouches to keep my cords and miscellaneous items organized. The backpack is very comfortable and the material quality is great. Would definitely buy this again

Best Daily / work Backpack Ever! I ended up returning Cotopaxi, Bellroy, and Peak Designs backpacks for this! I do waaaay too much research on backpacks and still end up coming back to Nortface because no one compares to the comfort, versatility, and durability.

Everyday for work, hiking, short term travel!

I use this backpack every single day and it is amazing. It is super amazing and fits my large 40oz water bottle, something I have been looking for. The main compartment is super spacious and there are plenty of smaller pockets in the outside compartment. I also like the quick reach compartment on the front. Highly recommend!

Love this backpack! Perfect size, style, and color. Use it for work every day, protects my belongings and laptop.

Size as expected, pretty high quality
