Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

I use the pack to carry a computer and change of clothes when I ride my bike into work. The nylon canvas is tough and the zippers are solid. I wish was a little bigger ~ 35l. The pack is very comfortable to wear when fully loaded.

I was looking for an everyday bag for work and personal life and went online to do research and saw a bunch of videos. I narrowed it down to Northface and then the Recon. Most of the bags interior for all Northface bags are similar. I really like the exterior though and the minimalist look, but still have enough pockets for storage. It's also pretty comfortable with the padding on my back. You don't feel it as much, as you would with other bags, especially the material and the heat it brings when carrying heavy items. Overall, I am enjoying the bag and it's exactly what I need.

Great construction and layout, works great for traveling, hiking, or just as an everyday backpack, would recommend for sure Straps are just a bit too stiff not much of a setback though

I use it daily for my classes as well as the large capacity helps me to travel and fit clothes in it as well.

I liked the new design.

I recently received this item and I'm loving it so far! I bought it to replace a Surge I've had since 2013, and it's been a great replacement. It is slightly smaller than my Surge was, which is perfect for my current needs.

When looking at pack in store, it seemed perfect for my needs. But quickly realized that each compartment takes space from the other. It's more like 20-25L max. Needs a small pocket on top.

Excellent pack, love the liquid container side pockets.

Not only does this thing have a ton of space but the fit and finish on this second to none. I wish I would've bought but the reason I didn't as I know that this one will probably last me six or seven years, and I use it every single day North-face better watch out if they keep making products this good nobody's gonna need to buy another one

Fits all my needs. Zippers feel great. Lots of room and pockets. The exterior canvas feel super high quality.

Bought this pack for my grandson for 21st birthday. He is loving it.

I'm about to find out heading out to Arizona for two weeks of hiking. I believe it'll hold up just well.

It is a great backpack. It will be my day pack on the hiking trails.

Great pack for school or carry on for travel.

I use this as a carry on bag for trips. I love all of the compartments including one for my computer. It's a great bag to help you stay organized. Plus bottom carriers on the side.

I bought this bag in pink and I love it! I've been using it for university and also took it on a school tripit was the perfect size for the airport and fits a lot of things. My laptop fits perfectly, along with some clothes, a water bottle, and there are even small pockets for my Kindle. It's super nice. I did a huge haul and reviewed a lot of different brands and sizes, and this one really stood out. I love it so much I even want to buy another one for my boyfriend!

this is a very good product. I got this backpack when I was in 5th grade all the way until 8th grade it held up pretty nice.

Very practical backpack with plenty of storage and smart pocket layout. Comfortable to carry even when fully loaded, with good back support and sturdy straps. The material feels durable and handles daily use well. Works great for work, gym, and short trips.

All around backpack for school and for traveling!

Got this in Smokey Br after looking at many brands. Love the volume, pockets and hiking in an earth tone pack. Hate hiking in neon. Plz fix the next gen to carry hiking poles securely!

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. She had another similar backpack that she had for about 12 years from Northface that was just now starting to wear out. Well worth the money! Quality is excellent and lasts a long time

Love it!

Totally ergonomic

This backpack fits my every need

Love it! Love the colors! The zippers are smooth and sturdy. You can tell it's a tough bag for all seasons! The only issue I have with it is that I would have liked to see the pockets (for pens and little accessories) to open deeper to the bottom instead of halfway point like how the older Recon backpacks were designed. Overall, a great backpack!
