Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Excellent quality of the book bag, pockets have a great size. Excellent product over all.

Great for gym or work clothes. Packs a lot

Great backpack and nice color.

Rich, beautiful color. Quality construction and useful features. Very roomy backpack.

My son's a physician, this was on his birthday list, so I bought for Christmas. Well made, loved the soft fabric lining etc.

It's good

Really versatile backpack that I use for everything. It is great for daily commuting and day hikes. Love the separate zipper pocket for my laptop. Water bottle pockets on the side actually hold my water bottle without it dropping (older versions were way too short)

Best backpack ever!!

This backpack is just the right size! Not too big and not too small. My husband and I do a lot of subsistence all year round, this backpack is perfect for holding our gear and snacks! Plus I also do a lot of traveling for work, this pack is so convenient for my work gear and travel! 5/5, definitely recommend if you're looking for something easy to carry!

I use this as my go-to day hiking back pack when I just need the essentials. It's comfortable and simple. I'm 6' 4" 220 with wide shoulders and it fits me just fine.

I love the color! The zipper pulls, the thick shoulder straps, and the hip and trust straps are fantastic.

Backpack is compact and lightweight. Not too spacious but gets the job done.

I purchased this bag to replace a 15-plus-year-old version of the same bag I use for work. It offers enough space and options for a laptop and other work-related items. Overall, I highly recommend this backpack to anyone needing a reliable, high-quality bag.

Great pack, especially for the price. This is now my designated pack for day hikes. Perfect size, not too many unnecessary pockets, and very comfortable. I use the outer mesh pocket for quick access snacks for my kids.

Love it carry all my important papers n devices everywhere I go

Good quality of work and materials, comfortable to wear, stylish. would buy again

For traveling

Best backpack ever

This one sold me on the fact that it not only has plenty of space, it zips all the way from side to side. My other one purchased over a decade ago only zips from top to bottom on one side which made things more complicated for me. Thank you!

I bought my first North Face backpack to use for commute to and from work as well as for business travel. Although the city and corporate offices isn't where you'd expect a backpack like this to be, it's the best in class for my use. Comfortably fits my 15" inch laptop, iPad, journals and charging cables. The plush inside lining of the smaller pockets are perfect for items that can scratch easily The flex vent technology keeps you cool and everything is well support and doesn't but a strain on your back even though I can be carrying between 5-10lbs in one go

Great daily backpack! Love the different compartments and it all feels well made.

Very good back pack for work! Is able to hold all my belongings and 40 oz water bottle!

I have had this pack for 3 months, I carry a ton in it and have not had any issues. I have 30 backpacks from various brands. Never had a problem with warranty replacement for any issue, especially after 2 weeks! From Osprey/Mystery Ranch/Pantagonia/STM/Burton. I find it hard to believe that NF would not cover strap tearing only after two weeks or atleast repair it...Maybe so without proof of purchase...? I would hope they would not tell Jimmy Chin this!

High quality material will surely hold up for a very long time. Fits a large size laptop with 17 inch screen which was a requirement. Comfortable against your back. Good for taller people.

I bought one of these 20 years ago and it finally wore out. The new one is great- nice features, including the laptop pocket.
