Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Bought this to replace my husband's travel bag that was falling apart. Great size, sturdy, easy to travel with. Would definitely recommend!

The quality of this bag is unmatched! This back pack will be used for school, but could easily be used for traveling, leisure strolls, or hiking. I live in a tropical location with lots of rain, so the bag being water resistant is a huge plus. This is the kind of bag that will last you all four years of high school, college and beyond. My son has one and he is not gentle - the bag still looks new. The North Face consistently makes products that are sustainable and worth every cent!

Handy

Great backpack for a high school kid. Cushioned section safe for a computer.

Amazing and durable, I took it on a trip to Africa and it was able to stay very new and clean through the trip.

I've been using the North Face Borealis for a few months now, and it's honestly one of the best backpacks I've owned. The padding on the back and shoulder straps makes it super comfortable, even when fully loaded. I use it for both work and weekend hikesit handles both perfectly. The laptop sleeve is well-padded and fits my 15" laptop snugly. There are plenty of pockets to keep things organized, and the front bungee is great for throwing in a jacket or gym gear. It's also surprisingly durablefeels like it'll last for years. Only downside is the waist strapit's not super supportive if you're carrying heavy loads for long periods. But for daily use? It's fantastic. Would absolutely recommend for students, commuters, or anyone who needs a reliable, all-purpose backpack.

Love the look and versatility!!

Happy with this backpack. Seems high quality. Really like the color way.

this is a great everyday backpack. the laptop sleeve is really handy, plenty of space for a small backpack so i can just about carry everything i'll need on any given day. very comfortable, & the straps feel super secure & durable. i like that the dual water bottle pockets can fit even my large 32oz insulated bottle; unsure how long the elastic tie-downs will wear over time, but for now they're great. my only gripe is the organization. i wish there was just one more pocket to put things in, as the main pocket is so big that things can get lost inside, & the other pockets are too small, so i end up just throwing everything into the main pocket. also, would be very nice for an extra pocket to be towards the bottom of the bag for better center of gravity. overall, this is my favorite daily backpack i've used, & i've gone through a lot of backpacks. good space, decent organization, space for water bottles, tons of options for getting the right fit & strapping things to the outside

Purchased for my son for college this fall. He loves it and has already started using it. His laptop fits perfectly and is protected with plenty of room for other things. Our daughter had a Northface backpack in college and she still uses it. They last forever.

I got this backpack three years ago and I used it every day for school and I really liked it I think a typed up for a good reason I think it's worth the money and it's so good that my mom even got a matching one because she really liked it it's got padding on one of the compartments for like a computer which is really good and it's very comfortable I highly recommend this backpack

The backpack survived a trip halfway around the world I would say that deserves an applaud

Pink north face backpack is compact and even useful for hiking.

This is my third borealis I've had a couple years currently I use this one I have for work and it's an awesome day pack. It's blue. I love the material and it gets me to point a to point B. I love the leather bottom adjustable straps and the side cupholders seems very durable compared to the previous models. As far as it is standing up that's a game changer for me but the way you fix it is stretch the bag out. It will stand up on its own when it's filled so if you're looking for a workhorse backpack, check out the borealis plan on buying another one all the best. Have a great summer.

Comfortable and helpful

Bought this backpack back in 2020 for college, it has survived all type of activities like school, work, travel, hiking, camping, it still feels like new and hasn't tear down. Great quality and overall build!

This backpack is great. I appreciate all the compartments it has, especially the quick access at the front of the bag. I recently switched to a thinner reusable water bottle and I feel that it is too small for the side pockets. I also don't think it stands up the best which is why I give it a 4/5. Everything else is great, it looks great, fits everything as I am a medical student working long hours.

I use it for work, lunch and gym clothes. Just enough space and comfortable.

My son loves it! Comfortablely padded and makes room for all his books, devices and water as he walks through high school halls.

it is very good and versatile

All the bells and whistles! Bought it for my son for school and he loves it!
