Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Wonderful product, amazing quality, exactly what we needed, exactly what I'm expecting from The Northface. Thank you.

Stylish!

My son loves his new backpack. Fits his computer and all his school gear- and is super comfortable.

I use this backpack for school, and it is perfect! It holds my 15-inch laptop no problem! I love hoq all the different compartments allow me to organize everything. The only thing I don't like is how the middle pocket is not the full length of the backpack; I wish it was a little bigger.

This really is a great backpack. The pockets and compartments are so useful and the large compartment is perfect for a laptop. There is a front mesh pouch that seems a little looser than it might but this is otherwise a great backpack.

Great backpack for commute. Great bag in general but the bag does discolor. The yellow loses its brightness.

Amazing backpack for carrying lots of heavy textbooks. I think the Borealis has better material though as this material feels a bit cheap and less rugged.

Great backpack for college, as it can carry everything from my laptop to my texts books and pens and pencils. Not to mention how comfortable it is. I walk almost 2 miles daily for classes and I sometimes forget I have my backpack on. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a lasting college backpack.

I bought it for my grandson for when he was returning to college. He said it was perfect.

Bought this for my high school son. He loves it. It is designed so well. The padding for the laptop storage is perfect. It has plenty of pockets and other areas for storage for all the things needed. The straps are very padded and comfortable. It is large and spacious. It is a very high quality and worth the money.

I love everything about this backpack. Perfect amount of compartments, the handle is in the optimal place to balance everything, very comfortable to wear, and it looks nice too.

Great bag

The only real problem I have with this backpack is that it will not stand up on its on and the middle pocket zipper is not the easiest thing to open.

Significant improvement from the older version of Recon.

I got this for my son who is a senior in HS with the hopes that it would be good next year too for college. It is really nice! Lots of compartments. Love the grey/black color combination. I'm pretty sure it will be perfect for next year too.

Great backpack! Using it for an upcoming trip to Glacier National Park.

This is the 3rd North Face backpack I have bought for my school children and this one is by far the best. They enhanced the side pockets (which holds a thermos) with a super strong material that is durable and prevents tearing. The backpack has a ton of compartments, is sturdy, comfortable and perfect for school! I will probably upgrade the other two backpacks at some point and buy this one.

I've only had it for a couple weeks but so far it is working well for school.

Very strong bag, good support for your back. I've never been disappointed with the Northface products.

Great size. Works perfectly for a high schooler to carry everything including electronics. Super comfortable!

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!
