Review on πŸŽ’ Recon Backpack in TNF Black by The North Face by Derrick Feliciano

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't worry - a fatal design flaw

I really liked the North Face Surge backpack, it lasted many years and I got this one instead. What a mistake, the backpack, no matter what's inside, never sits on the ground, it always falls forward. The rigid backplate will pull down too far and if placed on the ground it will lose its balance and tip over. I understand why they designed it that way to protect the laptop, but that's a serious downside. One of the photos of the backpack is deceptive, it appears to be upright, but it isn't.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Some difficulties
