  • One of the best every day backpacks that can carry your laptop (or large iPad)
I use this bag every day. Holds my 15 in MacBook Air in the laptop compartment, is durable (bought this to replace a 17 year old NF backpack), has compartments for nearly everything, two cup holders. My only complaint is it is not very big. My old north face backpack I could literally take two Europe on vacation for two weeks. This one I cannot do that, but for my every day normal use, it works fantastically. ... show more

  • Great for College Students
Size: 30L Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
Perfect backpack for my daughter's college needs! Holds her laptop and class materials with ease. Easy to clean, excellent quality, and great value. It's exactly the style she wanted and very functional. Highly recommend!

  • Great EDC laptop bag
Size: 30L Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
If you're using this as a simple EDC bag for a laptop, its pretty good. It fits a 15 inch laptop just fine. The durability would work if you're probably not putting it through the ringer. My commute really isn't too demanding, but for what it is, this bag is perfect. Enough room for a small jacket or hoodie and a lunch bag if you pack it right. I'd say its worth the money and the build quality is pretty strong. And I think it looks pretty good without being TOO tactical, and more urban cool, even with a name like RECON. ... show more

  • Great backpack quality, I’ve been using it 2 months now.
This backpack is amazing and I really enjoy using it for classes! It distributes the weight evenly making for a great commuter backpack. Despite the price, it’s an amazing value. It’s very sleek and stylish and the zippers have held up well. A very functional purchase!

  • Almost perfect!
Size: 30L Color: Asphalt Grey Light Heather/Tnf Black-npf
This backpack overall is very good quality. It is made of a very durable material and you can feel how strong the material is. The main panels are also somewhat waterproof, and I have never had any problems walking in the rain with it. The back is well padded and very comfortable to walk with, but the top straps may be a bit narrow for some people. My only problem with this is that there is basically one compartment and all the other pockets (laptop, admin, front smaller pocket) are like bags that stick into the main compartment, limiting the space in there. So, any larger items have to be stuffed into the bottom and can be very hard to remove if there are items in the admin pocket. Overall, this is a very good backpack, but could be better if access to the bottom of the bag was made easier, possibly by making each pocket a separate compartment instead of a bag that sticks into the main compartment. ... show more

  • Perfect Everyday Backpack – Comfortable, Durable, and Smartly Designed!
Size: 30L Color: Tnf Blue/Tnf Black
I couldn’t be happier with my North Face Recon backpack. I use it daily for work and travel, and it’s hands-down one of the best backpacks I’ve owned. The laptop compartment is well-padded and fits my 15” laptop perfectly. There’s also plenty of space in the main compartment for books, clothes, or gear, plus a ton of smartly placed pockets to keep everything organized. The front pocket is great for quick-access items, and the fleece-lined pocket is perfect for sunglasses or a phone. The best part? It’s incredibly comfortable to wear, even when fully loaded. The padded straps and back panel provide great support, and the sternum strap helps with weight distribution. It also feels super durable—classic North Face quality. If you need a reliable, versatile backpack that looks good and performs even better, this is it. Highly recommend! ... show more
