Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

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.

Overall the quality of this backpack seems good. I like the organization and the water bottle pockets. However, I just cannot get over how droopy and sloppy the front mesh pocket looks. It was already droopy when I received it and I suspect may get more stretched out over time. Returning.

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!

I use this backpack for work and school and so far it's probably my favorite backpack in a really long time! Im 6ft tall and this bag doesn't look goofy on me like some bags often can. It's not really a complaint but I just wish they had more color options other than that I'm a huge fan of this bag hopefully y'all keep the same features and style for a long time!

Product is amazing

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.

Love it! Perfect amount of space and pockets. Bought it for college, but also recently used it as a carry on.

This backpack is an unbeatable product! I used my last recon for 8 years, putting it through a LOT and it lasted through everything. I decided it was time for a new backpack and there was no doubt in my mind that I'd buy a recon!

Perfect backpack for a middle school student!!!!!

Speedy shipping! Item as described!! Very pleased with product; high quality!

Excellent bag. High quality, color was exactly as pictured and beautiful out of the box. BUT... had to return it. Not big enough for our middle schooler. The fad seems to be to never touch your locker, so it has to hold everything. If I re-engineered it, I would make it 34L, dividing the added space between the main pocket and an additional pocket for laptop chargers and accessories.

Sturdy and good design. Perfect for traveling and school.

Great day pack, plenty of room for a quick change of cloths and whatever I want to carry. Like the water bottle pockets- especially this summer. Light weight enough to use daily.

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!

I like everything about it except the mesh netting on front wish it was little different material.

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!
