Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

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

This backpack is perfect it's exactly what I wanted for school. It has so many pockets and compartments in the bag are useful. Definitely buy this backpack great product and design!

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!

Good sturdy backpack! The backing of the laptop sleeve does wonders for keeping my electronics safe, and it doubles as keeping good back support for when I carry my bag. I will say that the pocket in front of the laptop sleeve could be a bit bigger. I have a lot of books to carry as a college student, so a little more room would be nice. The smaller pockets work fine and I can fit a lot of things in the front. And the mesh pocket in the front is a super quick and easy thing to use whenever I need to quickly store something temporarily without having to use a zipper. The water bottle holders are a good size, and I can carry bottles in them without having to worry about them falling out.

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.

I like the backpack but the front most compartment when it has a normal amount of stuff in it will squish down and make it harder to get things in and out of the big pouch and it opens up at the bottom which makes it awkward a little sometimes

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

Great for school. Big enough for a laptop and everything else. Sturdy and stylish

My son loves this for high school!

Great backpack. Used for camping and school.

Great bag.

Lots of room for all of my gear. Upgraded to a larger laptop and happy that it fits without a problem.
