Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

We purchased this pack for my daughter to use for school. Six days after she started carrying the pack, the sewing on the shoulder strap came undone causing the strap to fail. Now we get to wait 6-8 weeks for our pack to be returned from warranty. I would not purchase this bag if you want durability.

This bag is comfortable and has lots of pockets. I use it for school and I love it.

Great looking backpack, I get many compliments on this. It's large enough to hold my heavy college books and extra supplies, very sturdy and nicely made.

Great material. Doesn't make my shirt go up if I wear it. Great compartment size and space

Good everyday backpack. The small top pouch can get too full and make the backpack top heavy if not fully packed.

My old borealis back used to have a mesh back plate which would sometimes damage my clothing. This bag has a comfortable padding instead, which I really liked. The pockets for the water bottles are also very firm and keep it from falling out.

Great backpack for an everyday use

I use this backpack for school. My water bottle fits perfectly in the side pockets, and there seems to be a place just right for everything! I'm a huge fan of this backpack, and I would totally recommend it to anyone.

Great backpack, good quality, comfortable and looks nice.

Lots of pockets, distributes weight well and holds multiple giant waterbottles.

Used for high school. Not bulky has a sleek look to it. And like that it's rain tolerant. My son likes how easy it is.

Very good backpack, I've been taking it to school and I like how convenient it makes holding everything!!

My son finds it comfortable and good

Amazing. I love this bag!

Great for school

Super impressed with materials, build quality, and capacity. Feeling very organized using it for work travel as well as hiking. Fits my 36oz Yeti tumbler in the side pocket as well.

I bought this for my son - a brand new college student. He loves the color and the functionality. I love the warranty!

It is used as a backpack for school. It is very functional and love all the pockets and how durable it is.

Did not receive my purchase. Looks great and has great reviews. Would love to give a full review.

Well built, perfect size for school or work commute.

Was fast to receive the backpack

I've seen these bags my whole life but I always ignored them because I wanted to be different. I recently started college and I've been getting into the outdoors more so I finally decided I'd finally try the borealis out. Immediately I was blown away by how comfortable the bag is. When walking on campus you need a bag that has good support for heavy books. The borealis had room for all the books can support the weight and is still comfortable when full. I love that some pockets are lined with a soft material to keep electronics scratch free. The hydration pack/computer pocket feels extremely safe I don't worry about my Mac at all when it's in my bag. Now that I own the bag I can see exactly why they're so popular.

My daughter loves it purples her favorite color

My son loves this backpack. Uses it everyday to carry around everything he needs in middle school. Very durable and holds everything he needs.

My daughter is using it for school to replace another TNF backpack she used last year. The construction is good and it seems sturdy, but I think this product could use a refresh and more innovative design thinking. The water bottle pockets are quite small- it was a struggle to get her Owalla water bottle to fit. I think the water bottle pockets need to be wider and deeper to accommodate the new, bigger bottles that kids are using.
