Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

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.

The back portion of the backpack (3rd zipper) holds my laptop! Previous review mentions it not fitting! Fits inside my NF duffle on top of all my kids stuff!

I'm a teacher and use this bag for work. It has worked out great for me. It's comfortable to wear around campus or all day at Disneyland. I am 6'2" 240 lbs and I did not have any discomfort wearing it all day. The compartments keep things well organized and the ease of access to the computer pocket and quick access pocket in the front is very useful.

Many easy to access small pockets. The laptop space keeps any 8" x 11" documents unfolded during travel.

Work backpack, great for commuting and storing everything I need. Has plenty of room; I throw groceries in it after work too.

the pack has ample room for everything needed for a plane trip. Can not wait to take it out on the trail. Feels well built.

The backpack is very sturdy and can carry a lot of items! The stretchy pouch at the front is very versatile. The backpack does stand up on its own, as long as you pack items towards the bottom of the bag. Worth it!

Great quality and design!

Very well- designed inside pockets. Comfortable to wear; doesn't overwhelm my back.

Great backpack so far. Comfortable and just the right size for day trips.

The backpack is exactly what I needed for daily work use.
