Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

everything is great!

I use the backpack for school and I love it.

I love this product! I love the pockets and pencil holders. I also really love the buckle on the strap!

Used for daughter in high school

I bought this backpack for my freshman year of college, and I plan to continue using it for the next 4+ years. Although the straps may seem uncomfortable at first, after about a week of usage the backpack becomes more stretchy and comfortable, and the padding is less stiff. My dell laptop fits perfectly, but if you have a thicker, older laptop I would not suggest this backpack. This backpack is stylish and practical, and it fits about three classes worth of notebooks and slim books along with my laptop! Great buy.

I use this backpack for college and traveling. It's smaller than my last backpack, but is super cute & durable, not to mention the lifetime warranty. The fleece laptop sleeve provides ultimate support and the backpack itself offers comfort no matter the workload. Overall I would recommend the Borealis to those in need of a reliable pack.

I am a nursing student. This product is durable and has the amount of space I need to place all of my books and supplies in it! It is very comfortable, and I love how it is made to fit a woman! I would recommend any woman to buy this product.

We ordered the Vaporous Grey Heather/Kokomo Green backpack. Online (on multiple different computers) the top half looked bright white. Unfortunately, it's more of an interesting soft grey/beige shade. While the quality of the backpack seemed great, it was not the color we were expecting based on the online image. We returned this one and went with something else... Solid backpack, just not the color my daughter wanted.

I used this product for school

Great for college books and walking to class in the rain

Bought this for my daughter for school. She loves it. It seems to be great except the straps hanging down are quite a nuisance.

It's great for school when walking around campus.

Will be packing for trip to Walt Disney World. Like the taller pockets for water bottles. Clipping characters to back.

It is durable through any type of weather. Holds all items I need to carry with me.

I purchased it for school and haven't used it for very long at the time of this review, but I am very pleased with it to date.

This pack is great for school, weekend travel, and hiking. The waist belt is a bit narrow. Previous model's belts were wider at the hip.

I use this backpack to carry things around campus. Very roomy, with the perfect number of pockets. The only issue is how stiff it is. The shoulder straps are hard to get on quickly! However, they'll probably soften up over time!

Love this for school!

Really like the design, style, and amount of pockets this bookbag has, but really wish the laptop compartment would fit a 15.6" laptop and have more room in the main compartment for books, binders, etc.

Just got it, not sure about durability yet

The pack is very functional and has a lot of great pockets. The only issue I am having are the straps being a little uncomfortable when it rubs against my skin.

This backpack is for my daughter who will be rising freshman in high school this year. They need room for notebooks, laptop and activities - this pack accommodates all. Nice design with tons of room. She loved color combination as well.

My 7th grader wanted a durable backpack for school. So far she has lived this one. It's a bit heavy empty and I had concerns once she put books inside. She seems fine with it. I expect the backpack will carry her through high school. Or almost all the way!

Wonderful, roomy backpack for my active 13 year old!

I use this backpack for school however it would be great to take on a camping trip!
