Finally a Backpack That Lasts – and Looks Great!

I bought The North Face Women's Recon backpack for myself as a gift, after going through several others that tore or wore out quickly. I’m so glad I did! It’s incredibly durable, lightweight, and super comfortable to carry — even when fully packed. The quality is outstanding, with sturdy zippers and well-thought-out compartments, and it looks beautiful too. So far, I’m very satisfied. Definitely worth the investment! Read more

Great fit and color

Perfect pack when you need a little more space and organization in your daypack. I’ve received many complements on the color. I’m 5’2” and the size fits very well on my petite body. Read more

fantastic backpack!

first open: I was going to wait for a sale, but my back was hurting from the 10 buck backpack i picked up from costco. Glad I didn’t wait, backpack was well worth the money! The back is firm but flexible which is fantastic for protecting whatever tech you might want to put in there. I appreciate how many different sections there are for different ways to organize. There’s enough room for at least 2-4 days of clothes in the middle pocket depending on how tall and large you are too. The pack doesn't feel all that heavy at all. Item came in perfect condition with no flaw in fabric, buckle, or color. I think the only thing that got me was the pocket under the mesh front only is about half as long as the backpack so its a lot smaller. This doesnt affect me but might throw others off if you want a little more pocket space up front! I will update this in maybe a month on how it is holding up. Read more

Perfect color and laptop area seems to be good quality!

The color is perfect! She also liked that there was a whistle on the strap. The back pocket is reserved for a laptop and has a nice amount of cushion. Read more

Good overall

Pros: nice quality. Many pockets. Fits under plane seats. Side water bottle holders can also hold shoes. Very adjustable. Safety whistle Cons: does not stay upright- has to lean against something. The straps get in the way and hang. The middle pocket is not spacious. The front pockets stretches out. Cannot hold many items. Can BARELY hold an entire outfit and a laptop. Love the bag over all. If you travel light / are lower maintenance with items, this is good for you. BUT if you need more than just one pocket space, I recommend sizing up. This backpack is only good for laptops and a few items within. I use it as an overnight bag but it’s stuffed to the point of stretching out… and I don’t even over pack. Read more

Lasts all through College

Used this as my go to bag while in college for grad school. I was able to fit all my supplies, computers, papers, etc. I also would switch to use as a carry on, many easy to organize pockets, and to a day hike bag. Lots of veritility, served many functions, and still in great shape years later. Read more
