Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

The Recon was great for my recent 10-day trip to the Baltics. Excellent storage capacity, great organization options and durable construction. The outside expandable "pouch" is brilliant for easy access and the side pockets securely hold up to 36oz bottles. The unique shoulder strap attachment points should be a new industry standard - very smart. Looking forward to the next exploration!

Great laptop bag for work. Nice felt lined pockets in front for electronics. Nice large water bottle holders and great attach points for accessories. Perfect size for me.

I this back pack every day for school has lots of pockets and room only negative is that the straps kinda just hang

It holds everything that I need as a student, and I can also take it out on trips and stuff. I prefer it over the Borealis because it holds my tall water bottle a lot better.

Husband loves it!!

This backpack is the best one that I ever had, i would recommend to everyone, since the daily worker, the student, to the adventurer. I use everyday for everything, specially for my hiking, climbing, and beach days, because i can take everything, safely and with stylish!

Already in love with this pack...and finally TNF is bringing back a little camouflage for us real men. What can I say more? It's just a great pack, with cool branding and a great layout of pockets and pouches...just buy it!

I use it for everyday essentials. Easy to fit laptop and some clothes if necessary.

My backpack is an essential part of my everyday routine and I cannot see myself being able to function without it.i love my recon backpack

This is my second recon since 2008. I'm sure this one will last even longer. My 13 inch laptop and cords fits with ease in the computer compartment. The large compartment I can put anything, but I fold or role clothes up in there. I also like that some compartments are lined to prevent/reduce scratched. Comfortable to carry.

This is a great versatile backpack for hiking, work, and school. The daisy chain offer you an option to add a bungee cord system while you are use for hiking. You can add or remove the bungee cord system anytime in this backpack. I bought another North Face Borealis for my dad also, although both are same price, similar design, I like the Recon design more than the Borealis.

Great product.

I use it for school and it's great!

This was an impulse buy, and one that I don't regret at all! Feels very high quality and looks great. I highly recommend to other college students.

Purchased as my daughter's backpack for college. It's got plenty of room for her daily gear for on-campus and the side packets are big enough to hold her favorite water bottle. She loves it.

valid bag, lots of room for my cat.. i mean college stuff

Perfect bag pack in term of size and comfortably. Would love to have different color option .

Great for school l!!

I purchased this bag for my freshman year of college and it has been perfect. It holds my laptop and textbooks perfectly and is lightweight and breathable.

I really like the durability and quality of this pack. My daughter had one and loved it so I checked hers out first and agreed.

School and day trips

Excellent Product!!! Absolutely Love this Backpack

Stealthy backpack, great for traveling and as an office bag. Has a pocket for all of your needs, easily fits my bulky 15" laptop.

This is my first North Face brand Backpack that I owned. I have my own Under Armour for 4 years already and I decided to order The North Face Recon for both back to work and hiking, and this backpack looks great fit to my needs. I like front mesh pocket allowing you to clip small stuffs and the daisy chain also allowing you to clip things and adding a bungee cords to carry other stuffs. The size is not too big, and not too small. However, I wish The North Face offer 20 or 22 Liter backpack between 16-18 inches height in the near future.

Overall great backpack to take into the office. I'm able to carry my laptop and iPad very securely. The only thing I don't like is that it's too thin in width. I had the older model and it is a little wider.
