Customer Reviews The North Face Recon

Love this backpack. It has a suprisingly large capacity yet doesn't look bulky.

I think this is the nicest designed bag TNF has brought out. However it doesn't feel like a northface bag. Very stiff and cheap feeling . Not a comfortable bag

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.

Yellow version shipped was different than picture on site. Much more yellow than black. Ok, just different than expected. TNF support is assisting with resolving. Great customer service as always. Excellent redesign of this pack either way.

Wrong color that was not shown in the picture and no response to my email to them asking about a return/exchange.

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.
