Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I bought the backpack for my grandson for college. He says it's great

I bought this bag going into my 3rd year of college and so far this summer it's been great!! I've gone hiking and through a rope course with this bag and it held up. And if you're wondering if it will hold your 32oz water bottle - IT ABSOLUTELY WILL and hold it in place with the adjustable straps. Over all a very comfortable and functional bag!! Worth the investment!

My daughter is using it for her high school backpack. She loves how the pockets on the sides are able to hold her bigger water bottle. She feels it's sturdy and she loves the extra pockets and size.

I love the quality of the backpack and how nice it feels. The material on it is real durable and will last for a while and not break

Great product. Works great for school!

Exactly what I needed! Just perfect!

Perfect for school!

Great backpack. Very roomy and high quality!

It's perfect my freshman loves it! Easily fits all his school stuff and extras.

Perfectly sized for hiking/camping and everyday needs. I like how many pockets it includes to store large and small items. The bungee on the front is super useful for quickly stowing gear. Recommend!

Perfectly sized backpack to use for hiking/camping trips as well as everyday needs. I like how many pockets it includes to store large and small items. The bungee on the front is super convenient for quickly stowing smaller bags or bulkier items. Would definitely recommend!

Very happy with my purchase.

Best backpack I have ever owned.

Bought this for my son entering high school. This is an awesome backpack! I am sure it will last him all 4 years. He loves it!

It is very nice and stylish. I love the model; however, the elastic on the back pack makes it less spacious. You need the put the stuff inside the back pack and adjust them by your hands in order for the back pack to have good shape.

This was purchased for my 13 year old bonus daughter. She loves it! It's sturdy, has tons of pockets and you can tell us major quality. I felt it was pretty large for a middle school back pack but what the heck do I know about the middle school girl aesthetic??!? She promises to use it as a travel bag as well, in that case, a great, multi-use and lasting purchase.

Keeps my back from hurting while carrying my school books!

there is lots of good pocket space and is very comfortable to wear

It is a great book bag especially if you don't want to buy one year after year. All three of my kids have this book bag. My oldest has had for 4 years and still is holding up beautifully. He got it his senior year and is now a Jr in college. My other son has had it for two years (highschool) and my youngest for 1 year (middle school). So nice to spend just a little more and have for years ahead!

This backpack has a lot of space and lots of compartments. I prefer Borealis over Jester because of the more number of pockets. Laptop fits well in this backpack. This backpack is suitable for Middle school to College kids. Water bottle pocket is well designed and can be tightened with the elastic strings. Font pocket has many sub-pockets to keep school/college stationary. The bag has 4 pockets two of them being the main. The other two pockets still have lots of space. They both have enough storage for supplies such as markers, scissors etc.

Solid pack & fits a lot. It's a bit heavy.

Really has everything he was looking for: padded laptop sleeve; plenty of room for binders, supplies, and the occasional lunch; and has a North Face logo. If you have a "branded" high schooler like me this is the way. Chat!

Durable, functional, has space for all the things without being bulky. Would buy again without question.

Best backpack ever. My last Borealis lasted for 12 years.

My daughter loves this for school. So many pockets to keep all her essentials, so no need for a purse. Great quality of course!!!
