Love it! Love
Love it! Love the colors! The zippers are smooth and sturdy. You can tell it's a tough bag for all seasons! The only issue I have with it is that I would have liked to see the pockets (for pens and little accessories) to open deeper to the bottom instead of halfway point like how the older Recon backpacks were designed. Overall, a great backpack!

Great backpack for college
I bought the Recon Backpack for my son, and he loves it. It has plenty of space for a laptop, books, and daily essentials, with great organization to keep everything easy to find. The padded straps and breathable back panel make it comfortable to carry all day, even when it's full. It's very durable, holds up well in bad weather, and is perfect for everyday college use. Highly recommend.

Great upgrade with a major flaw
This is a great update to a classic pack with one major flaw. I like the new materials and the layout works well enough. I am really unhappy it doesn't have at least one strap with a buckle so I can easily attach bulky items like jackets/sweatshirts. I coach soccer and like to be able to clip dirty shoes to the outside of the pack with a strap. Other than that I am very happy.

Great Bag, But Watch the Whistle Attachment
I bought the Recon backpack for my teenage daughter, and overall, it's a solid, functional school bag with plenty of room. We are loyal North Face customers and love the brand's quality. However, there's a concerning design flaw with the sternum strap whistle. Unlike some of our older North Face packs where the whistle is securely sewn into the strap, this model uses a plastic glider mechanism, which allows the whistle piece to slide along the strap. Unfortunately, the whistle part came completely off not long after we got it. I'm not sure if this has happened to others, but it's concerning that a safety feature can detach so easily. The rest of the backpack is great, but this particular design choice is a definite weak point.
