Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

My bf loved it:) it is a bit smaller than expected, but he loves it because it fits everything for the daily.

This backpack is great. It's comfortable, organized and sleek. I'm a graphic designer and I like to carry some key essentials with me when I travel one place to another. My essentials include: a laptop, an ipad, apple pencil, charger cords, pens, field notes books and a planner. This pack allows me to carry everything with specific compartments for each item to eliminate any of that interior movement. If there's one thing I truly admire: it's organization. Don't forget there's water bottle pouches on the side (stay hydrated!) and an additional section for clothing, snacks (if you ain't snacking, ya slacking) or anything extra beyond that! The straps are comfortable and come with enough play for adjustments within those straps. When I'm not designing or commuting, I'm hiking or adventuring somewhere. I'm confident this pack will suffice all activities. If you're anything like me, or just looking for a solid pack... purchase this one. You won't be disappointed.

Backpack is well built except for the extremely weak and fragile water bottle holders. After only 6 months of use, my water bottle holders on both sides are wearing through. Needs a design.

Really great and compact backpack. Looks well made and stylist.

I use this pack for everyday work and light back packing for short day hikes. It has great storage for laptop/iPad and books. It's incredibly comfortable and ergonomic design on your back.

Simple and quality.

Our son wanted this for his school year backpack this year. Since covid, they haven't had a much class as normal 7th graders but the strap tore from it being worn before the first semester was even up. I would not recommend this backpack at all. It looks nice but if the straps break, then what good is it? Def not recommend.

Amazing backpack

I use this for school and I like the computer pouch in the back. I wish it was slightly bigger but it's a good size.

Bought for an upcoming pcs to Germany. Great construction and my laptop fits snugly and send safe

I love my recon ! I use it for work and the gym and it fits my barbell pad, sweater/sweats! &Other gym accessories! For work I use an iPad and it's always protected and doesn't bottom out with the special area it has. Definitely get if you like Multiple pockets! Very comfortable!

All North Face products are first class and the best quality!

Great backpack

Is the best

Great size, and a lot of different compartments

Just great. No problems

I use this as a school backpack. It is great and looks really good. I could use a little more space and room but overall it's a great backpack!

I use this backpack for college. I carry my laptop,tablet,pens and other various things with me everyday. I enjoy the reinforced water bottle holders and love that there are two on both sides. The colors are great and there are many to chose from. I love the zipper pulls that are on the bag as well. The only downside is that the pocket with all the little pockets is only a half pocket. When you add a decent amount of things to that pocket it begins to impede on the pocket behind it and I wish it was a full pocket on its own to solve this issue. It also impedes the ease of the zipper for this particular pocket.

Great quality

We bought the smaller size and though it wasn't big enough. But this one was what we were looking for.

Great for everyday use on campus!

I love the produce. Everyone I asked prior to purchasing who owned one gave the approval also. I love by bags.

A well made backpack with a large protected laptop compartment that I'll be using for college and as my carry on for travel.

Ok

The revamp has me a little perplexed. The side pouches are a bit stiff. Not like the old versions mesh. I do enjoy the new zippers and straps they are well put together and so far seem like solid construction. NF has a great brand reputation and I doubt this bag will disappoint!
