I bought this for my son to use in high school. He really likes it. He said it has a lot of pockets and is very comfortable to wear.

I llove the vibrant teal of this because it will hide all dings and dirt. I've washed my previous one in a lighter color and that one is like new now. This purchase was to give me a change up in color!

I purchased the North Face Borealis Backpack on 10/15/2025, and it has exceeded every expectation. The build quality is outstanding the materials feel durable and reliable, and the stitching and zippers are noticeably well-made. The front bungee system is extremely handy for quick storage, and the internal compartments are perfectly organized for daily use.
The shoulder straps and back panel are very comfortable, even when the bag is fully packed. I use it for work, travel, and the gym, and it handles everything without showing any wear. The padding protects my laptop, and the side pockets fit bottles securely without stretching out.
Overall, this backpack is a perfect blend of function, comfort, and durability. If you need a dependable everyday bag, the Borealis is absolutely worth it.

The backpack itself it's pretty comfy and the fabric is super good, it helps your back if you usually put a lot of weight on your backpack, it has an organized section of pockets, space it's not the best since the organizer pocket it's determined by its length, but besides that it's okay

I really do love this backpack, but there are a few design flaws.
I tend to carry a lot of pens and highlighters and usually use the front pocket to store all my personal belongings such as keys, airpods and my wallet. I find that the pocket becomes super heavy compared to the rest of the backpack when it's got stuff in it and causes my backpack to fall over or slip down which is super annoying.
I used to own the jester backpack before this and noticed immediately how much heavier this backpack is in comparison which is surprising since I did not think there was much of a difference other than extra compartments. The padding on the backpack makes it bearable, but it still become uncomfortable at times.
The water bottle pockets could also be a little steeper

I bought this backpack because my back was hurting a lot with my previous bag from another company. This bag is saving my back. the fact that the back of the backpack is a harder material makes the backpack stay upright and helps to distribute the weight of the things in the backpack more easily. I also love all the compartments inside that help organize my stuff. Also, their are two straps to tie it in front of you and it also helps distribute the weight of the back more eavenly so my shoulders and back don't feel so much pain. The color was even prettier in real life.
