Durability And Reliability

A brand you can count on! NorthFace holds up to the ruggedness of a teenage boy’s lifestyle! Dragged from school to swim practice, the gym and back home, all with no sign of all that it has endured through out the day! Highly recommend!

Recon Backpack

Great packbag! wish they made a smaller version, as it is too big to fit under the seat on an airplane

Work Or Play

My husband loves the color of this backpack and all of the pockets that he can store things in. He carries his for work and for play. He has plenty of loops to clip some of his extras on, loves the way the bag holds its shape and the design is tough as nails. He is not gentle on his gear so this will last him a long time! Absolutely recommend!

Nice Backpack

I have the older version using it for international travel, as well as local use. After some 10 to 15 years, I will order the newer one.

Verified Purchase

I Would Definitely Buy The Recon Backpack Again.

I bought this backpack for my grandson to replace the north face pack he has used the last 6 years. It has all the features he wanted and he loves it!
