Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

After nearly 15 years, I finally had to retire my beloved Borealis back pack and purchased the Recon as a replacement. It's a great backpack. While the Borealis had a larger main compartment, the recon feels lighter and more tailored. Everyday I love this pack more than I did the day before.

I've used this backpack everyday for school for the last few months and it has easily become my favorite backpack. I love the amount of pockets and little storage compartments it has. Unfortunately, the bottom of it ripped, but I'm in the process of returning it and getting another because it's fantastic.

Good product

I Like The style and everything feels firm

It is perfect for my urban needs and is very stylish as well

I've only had the bag for a few weeks and have already got good feedback. Comfortable and feels just as durable as my old one. Would buy again.

Use it for a few weekend trips and daily commute, carry's everything I need and can also hold a large backing cube for minimal travel

As a nursing student, this is perfect to carry all of my class necessities and also my nursing equipment for clinicals. It's super sturdy and doesn't feel heavy at all. The only downside is it doesn't do a good job at standing up on its own.

My first experience with the Recon backpack was 15 years ago in High School. Reliable and sleek, it's get a great backpack for travel, the office and everyday use.

My son uses for school and I will get one for myself.

Perfect for my grandson

I use the backpack for work and night school. I am able to use this bag for everything. The support of the back and the straps make a great deal of difference in the weight of the bag.

I bought this backpack for my 15 y/o who is in High School. She had too many books plus her 17" laptop to fit in her older backpack. After some research I found this backpack is roomie enough for books and a laptop of the size she owns. Most backpacks only hold 15" laptops, so this backpack was just what she needed. The backpack is also very comfortable, which is a plus. Great purchase!

I needed a new daily bag and I am so happy to have found this one. I manage a climbing gym and this bag fits all my needs. The mesh pouch in the front is one of the biggest things I look for. It is the perfect place for my climbing shoes so they don't become too smelly and don't make my bag smell. The compartments are hugely useful and a big upgrade from my previous bag.

I bought this for my son who is in university. I watched several YouTube reviews and decided on this Recon backpack because of the features. It has compartments that make sense. It is very sturdy and the strap design make it easier on his back to carry. I know he will get years of use out of it. We also do a lot of traveling and this is a perfect carryon size for his laptop and at least 2 days of clothing.

great bag!

Really liked the bag! As someone with back problems, it felt comfortable no matter what I put inside it.

Simple ane clean

This was purchased for me son's high school backpack. It is amazing, very durable!!

I use this daily at UCONN! It is an amazing backpack and has great shoulder/back support!! Also so much room and the computer section is extremely protective. Also stylish as heck

Was the best purchase by far I use it for work

I use this as an everyday backpack for work, day trips, etc. The quality is terrific. The laptop space is large - plenty of space for my 16" screen.

I use the backpack for school and it does the job well. I like how ridged and sturdy it is.

Best backpack I've ever bought. Plenty of room for my laptop and other gear. Side pockets are big enough to fit a Hydroflask 40 oz bottle, which was a must have for me.

It's the EDC of packs, everything you need in a small package Makes for a great bugout bag also. Can't go wrong with the Recon.
