Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

My son loves this backpack! Holds a lot without being too bulky.

This backpack is used everyday as my go bag for school. I've had a North Face Recon for over 10 years and it started to look tired but still took care of me everyday. Got this one as a Christmas present from my sister. She's the best sister who always knows how to score the best gifts. Hopefully this one will last another 10 years since I'm now a teacher and have at least another 10 years left in me.

Great fit well made

Great backpack for anything you are doing. I bought it for my brother for Christmas and it was the most perfect gift. He started using it right away. Don't hesitate to buy

I got this backpack for my boyfriend as a birthday gift and it's perfect. Fits everything, looks great, and the water bottle holder fits his big water bottle no problem.

Love this product! You can use it for anywhere and anything! It fits so much stuff and many different compartments. Great for military use also! Thanks North Face for this awesome backpack!

Various adjustments available, lightweight, strong material and great design

Going to college

This backpack is everything I need as an EDC pack. Plenty of pockets that serve the different needs of an EDC pack. The waist strap is also a great plus to turn this into a hiking backpack. The only downside to this pack is the lack of integral strap management. I have to use some rubber bands for that in order to avoid having the straps loose and giving places for the backpack to get caught on when interacting with tbe environment.

This backpack is fantastic. I really love the way it feels on my back. All the kids at school are jealous of my new backpack. It is good at holding things. I will never buy another backpack in my life.

Nice quality and size

Comfortable and beautiful!

Good product. Straps are comfortable. Only issue is the amount of buckles.

I use it for school. It's great!

Bought it for college after my last backpack ceased to function entirely. The recon is great! I love the stash pocket, and there's plenty of space and just enough organized space for everything I need. Only problem (as others have mentioned) is that when the front compartments are full it creates a bump that makes it more difficult to get books into the bottom of the main compartment. Great overall though, highly recommend! I got compliments when I first got it during finals week, the green/orange looks great.

Love the product. I ordered in store and they had the wrong shipping address but they had my billing so someone else ended up with a free backpack. They must have had their information in the iPad before mine and did not clear it when I made my order.

Hiking , traveling and any situation you need a roomy yet comfortable bag, def buying another one.

I purchased this backpack for my fianc and he absolutely loves it. It's a classic, simple backpack that's perfect for everyday use. It's the perfect size, not too big or bulky and not too small. Will definitely be a go to backpack even for traveling or hiking! Would highly recommend

I use this product for college and it is a great backpack. It is not too big and bulky and has enough room for a long my books that I carry around all day.
