Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Very well made! One of the best backpacks I have bought for school.

No lockers at school this year. Recon allows me to be comfortable wearing my full backpack all day. Holds a ton and looks good too!

A little small but good for small trips

I use it for dragging my study gadgets/books to and from school. It seems fairly durable. It's slim even when I have it fairly stuffed. The only thing I found odd was that instead of one large compartment with a divider inside to protect tablets/laptops, it has two separate compartments. One is padded for the devices. The other is decently sized but not as big as in my old backpack. It also sometimes falls forward randomly when I lean it against a wall, but that's no big issue.

I got this backpack for college. I love it. The color is exactly what I wanted and it's well made. It's still stiff and I am unsure how much it'll loosen. It's great to carry a laptop in and holds everything I need. The only flaw is it is stiff still after a couple months, but overall I love my backpack!

Lots of storage and good quality.

I bought this backpack for school. Compared to other backpacks I have tried, this one is much better because it is not clunky and has a simple design that is visually appealing. The backpack is light and has lots of space for storage. The only thing I didn't like was having to choose between the black and navy color because I liked them both.

Things that Great, confortable and durable backpack. The best option in backpack to travel. They are incredibly spacius and have an approprieate place for everything.

Amazing and really sturdy bag..can be used for college or hiking .Has a lot of space in it & I love the fact that it doesn't look bulky like most backpacks ! This is the 2nd one I've gotten coz it's great value for money

This replaced my last recon which is 20 years old! Best designed backpack.

Nice package. Plenty of space, pockets and zippers. Loved it perfect color, quality material. Light to carry, hearty And rugged. The absolute perfect back pack for the trip. Glad I chose the recon by North Face

After trying many bags and returning them all I found the Recon bag and love it! Worked perfect in the airport, on the trails, space for everything. Solid construction, def recommend

My teenage daughter loves this! Great color and lots of room!

definitely the BEST backpack i've ever bought. it's so comfortable and light even when i have a lot of stuff in it. it's amazing

I got this backpack to use for college. I love it. It has plenty of room for my books, as well as my laptop. I used another one almost exactly like this all through high school and it held up for all four years with no issues.

I use this backpack for traveling and hiking. The two buckles across the chest and waist provide excellent support when hiking and the laptop sleeve can double as a pocket for a hydration reservoir. There are several small zippered pockets for your everyday belongings and the outside stretchable sleeve allows for a lot of additional space. This backpack is well made and worth the price.

This is now daily commuter bag for work and everything else in my day to day life. It is light weight, holds quite a bit, durable and cleans up easily. Great for field work on job sites.

I ordered this backpack for my second-grader, and he loves it! It's a little big for him but with the way he's growing, he'll grow into it in no time. We really love the icy blue-gray color, and the compartments and pockets are fantastic. It's made very well and I can tell it will stand up to anything my son may throw at it.

Really nice bag. Has been working great for EDC and travel.

It was a birthday present for my husband, he is enjoying it so much. Great customer service and a great present for my husband.

The size the great

My son says “it’s good”

Super ez backpack

Sturdy design. I use it for everything from everyday carry to walks in the woods. Great storage with plenty of options. Would highly recommend for anyone.

I ordered this backpack for my son and he loves it. Very durable material and lots of pockets for water bottle, phone, books, pencils and pens. The best feature is the protective laptop sleeve/pocket. Great purchase for middle school or high school student.
