Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I use it for school. Plenty of room for all the stuff I need.

it's good but has one flaw which is the 2nd front pocket, it should be deep enough so that if it gets filled the bag doesn't look awkward. the thing is if you fill this bag with all your stuff it looks weirdly bloated from the top, since the top section has more space due to the front pockets. another con is that the bag cannot stand on its own whether it's empty or filled. it's just annoying. otherwise the bag is perfect to fit, light gym clothing+ shoes, tiffin, laptop, notebook and minor stuff in front pocket. ideal for school and commute, I like the side pockets too. and this colour looks nice.

Sturdy, stylish for teen boy, enough space for all school items with expandable belts. Thick shoulder straps. Not sure if lunch bag will fit inside! Haven't tried that yet! Looks like it will!

My testing

Used it for travel. Good size and organization. Sternum strap is great quality. Water resistant enough for my case. If you stuff the half pocket with a lot of stuff and not the main one it can get a little awkward. Wish it had a secret pocket somewhere. Overall gets the job done.

Nice quality. Not as spacious as the previous version.

This is the that I really wanted. Felt a lot better with trade off. I am glad that I chose the right comlpr & style!

This backpack has a lot of space. However, I dislike that if I load the front, the backback will tip over. This makes it inconvenient for everyday use but good with travel.

Used it as a carryon and loved it.

Decent backpack with a few quirks. Positives are the bottom has a coating for durability, the side water bottle pockets are also a durable material rather than mesh, and there's a way to organize all of your essentials for school, work, or hiking. Great for any function. Some cons are that there's no way to replace the bungee system when it wears out, there's no way to secure a water bottle from sliding out the top of the pocket (I just tied some rubber bands on the bag to deal with this), and the website describes a "quick draw access for smartphone" on one of the water bottle pockets, but I've yet to figure out what this means even after talking to customer support.

I loved this backpack I thought that the computer compartment was very good the straps on the front come in handy and it seems durable and sturdy the only thing is I wish that the backpack wasn't super heavy and big I thought it'd be a lot lighter.

I use this as a school backpack. The only bad thing is that the straps along the water bottle holder aren't long-term sustainable, as they will slowly stretch and no longer be as effectively. The rest of the backpack is fantastic!

Great product, difficult to put my stuff in when it's in my locker. Nice pockets looks clean!

Used for school. looks great and feels good. however, one of the zippers tap seems to have gone missing and it only has been used a few months.,

Comfortable to wear. Not to bulky

I use this backpack for school. It's honestly perfect for the most part other than the second buckle at the bottom of the backpack. It's bothering.

The backpack is nice but it would be better if the front pocket is a little deeper.

I love the sturdiness of this backpack. It is the perfect backpack to be taking around campus and has plenty of room for all my stuff. I was happy to be able to fit my 16-inch laptop in here.

Really comfortable for traveling and sturdy enough to handle a moderate hike. Only thing is that it's not as waterproof as I expected (absorbs a bit of water from underneath), other than that, a good purchase. Also color is great.

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

Great backpack; only wrinkle is that the bottom seem narrower than top portion and experiencing issues with putting items in.

The bag is great quality but little heavy itself.

I use it for school, the straps aren't togood as i had to replace one after a year of use due to a broken strap

Have had a north face backpack for about 7 years for traveling, wouldn't go any other brand for my traveling needs

Very sturdy and robust, simple zippers, comfortable straps. I do wish there were some internal pockets in the larger sections.
