The North Face Women's Recon Daypack

the perfect work backpack! a great neutral color. would buy 10/10 times!

I love that I can fit everything I need for a flight in this bag and don't need to also carry a purse. It's also a beautiful color.

I bought this for traveling so I didn't need a purse and personal bag. I can fit everything needed for my trip and have it easily accessible. The backpack is comfortable to wear and fits everything I need, including my laptop or tablet.

I purchased this pack for travel. I have a Camelback pack that is still in great shape after 17+ years but wanted a change. I wanted to get the women's Borealis, but the reviews & dimensions made it sound like it would not fit my 15" laptop. I believe the men's Borealis could fit it. I think NF should rethink the design to make the laptop area a bit higher on the women's Borealis. This pack is heavier than my Camelback, which was a concern, but this is likely due to the laptop compartment. I got it for the sections with pockets, as are similar to my Camelback. I can't attest to it being top heavy, as don't plan to over stuff the pocket area. While the pocket area does not go all the way down, it does go more than halfway. Many reviews make it sound like it is very short. The weight is the only part I am not thrilled with, but the separate laptop compartment is a plus. It feels a bit stiff. This is also likely due to the laptop compartment and back padding. I like the front pouch. I can see using that to put my jacket or neck pillow in when flying.

Perfect size for my travels with laptop, color is even better than it looks on picture! Absolutely happy with my purchase.

Obviously it's great, it's a north face bag. Bought this for my daughter, my old bag is like 10 years old and still works great.

My daughter loves it. It is the trend in private schools, every student owes one or more.

We love the recon backpacks! Spacious, organized, and comfortable!
