Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Great bag to bring all your stuff you need for either work, school or vacation. So many pockets

backpack straps too close for a men's. i'm 6'2 1/2 and in my opinion the borealis men's fits me better. Recon is still comfortable just lacks in the department. kind of unfortunate considering the backpack costs more but is different in sizing. If you're on the smaller end i would say recon is better not to say that the recon isn't good for big guys either but if you like to hike or wear it A LOT then the borealis may be better. The colour on the grey and black is also very light. in direct sunlight it almost looked like a light blue. Take from my mistake and find the better bag for you.

Perfect college backpack, overnight carryall, plane commute, laptop carrier, or day hike essential

Overall material is thinner than previous version of Recon. Quality control is lacking too. But good enough and looks cool for everyday use. Won't be using it for hiking though.

I love my backpack. I use it for school and it feels great, comfortable and very useful. It's the perfect fit for me and what I need.

The North Face Recon Backpack is a fantastic choice for anyone in need of a versatile and durable backpack. Its thoughtful design, comfortable fit, and ample storage space make it perfect for both daily use and outdoor adventures. The quality materials and attention to detail are evident, and I appreciate the laptop protection and well-organized compartments. Whether I'm commuting or exploring, the Recon delivers on all fronts.

I purchased my northface recon backpack for school and day to day use and I love it. There has been no issues and I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy one. I love the space it has and it can fit all my school stuff and room for more. Would definitely buy again!

Nice bag

School backpack

Great backpack for high school. It holds binders well, just wish it was a little wider as it's hard to fit them with a larger water bottle. But overall, the pockets are great, and very easy to organize my things!

Looks great, has plenty of pockets. Hopefully it will be durable, it looks durable.the bag seems deeper compared to other NF bags we've had.

New college backpack

Bought it for college but so far have used it on a SCUBA trip and a road trip. It kept my stuff dry on the boat and has had ample room for my toiletries, devices, and chargers on my roadtrip. There's not a TON of room in the main pocket, but I'm not looking for a duffle bag; it's perfect for a hoodie and the few small books I brought.

I bought this backpack for college, and to be honest I haven't gotten to use it for that purpose yet, and I haven't gotten to test it against inclement weather. But I've used it for a SCUBA trip and for a road trip, and in both cases it has been amazing. It kept all my clothes and devices dry on the boat, and it has ample pockets for all my chargers and toiletries I've needed on my roadtrip. I was in between this one and the Borealis, and I'm happy I bought this because that mesh pocket in the front is so incredibly useful and convenient. Also a very comfortable bag.

I'm very happy with this backpack. It is the second one I have ordered. It works well for my son in college.

Great backpack, with good compartiments and nice finishing,

I use my backpack for day-to-day classes and my internship in college. It's the perfect size and comfort to carry everything I need, and I love the pockets for my writing utensils and tech.

Great color and functionality. Some of the pockets are small so do not expect to put a bunch of clothes in it. For a medium backpack it had plenty of storage though.

For my son in laws engineering job.

A perfect day bag

I love it, the color is my favorite, perfect pockets for everything. The water bottle holders in the side are durable and fit my bottle great. I also love the mesh pocket on the front for storage

Stylish and cute backpack for my high school girl!

Great size and color

Backpacking and to work

its just cute. my son is going to be a sophomore this year and he picked this color. I'm sure it'll get dirty quickly, but while it's in its packaging, it looks beautiful lol.
