Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I do like it bag it great tons of room but the straps of the bag or like mesh and I find it quite irritating to bare skin. Personally I would return this and buy last years borealis bag from our local store but those don't offer the lifetime warranty. So I'm going to stick with this bag and deal with the straps, I believe it will be great for school.

I haven't tested it out for college but it seems to fit great and keeps me organized so far!

Waiting for school to start to use the backpack.

Gift for Grandson who has very heavy books to carry around all day

I had a north face boreallis backpack that lasted me all through high school, and is still usable,so that was my first choice for college. I am looking forward to four more years with my new one.

I love the back pack but it is not very comfortable to wear the straps feel very rough against my shoulders other than that its a great back pack.

This is the perfect backpack for my daughter to take to college!

I appreciate the new bookbag after I had a problem with my first one. Great response time and also the new style of the Borealis northface. I recently had the older version.

I've been out of college for a few years now, but oh man, how I wish I could go back and gift myself this backpack. It's incredibly comfortable and the perfect size for a 15" laptop, some books, some gym clothes, etc. Now I use it for work trips-I can stash everything I need in there for work meetings, then refill it with hiking gear back at the car and hit the trails when the clock hits 5pm. It's really durable feeling but surprisingly lightweight. I got a similar for my 60-year-old dad, who uses it for early morning hikes. #TNFLocals #AMBSDR

bought for my 6th grade junior high daughter - backpack was way too small for the amount of homework she has - books, binders - NO way are they fitting in this backpack. We already purchased her school supplies and they would not fit in this backpack. Returned and purchased Recon which is deeper but not longer and everything fit nicely.

I bought this for my son to carry his stuff to school. I bought it for its roominess and durability.

Great backpack... but not enough room. Use it at school and wish there was more room for books. LOVE the organization pockets... helps keep everything handy. Amazing quality just as I expected from TNF

Great backpack, very large with lots of space.

Nice back pack, nice look, well made, however a bit stiff in the back. Overall I am very satisfied however.

I love the way it looks, but it's not very comfortable.

I love the design and size of the backpack. However, the color of the backpack online is very different from the actual backpack. I got the hydro green and snow cone red, which appeared to be a light blue but is actually more gray.

I recently just got this backpack for high school. It has a lot of room to carry my books. I really love how it has many pockets to organize all your school supplies. The only thing is it's a bit heavy compared to other backpacks. Also, it is very big on me. I'm 5'3, 89 pounds and the backpack covers my entire back, making it look like a turtleshell on me.

This backpack is wonderful. The only issue is that the "white" part of the backpack is definitely light grey and not white.

I really love this backpack, i bought the jester backpack first but after looking at muy brother's borealis i couldnt resist exchange it for this one. I love how many pockets it has and that you barely feel the weight. I got the zinc grey and surf green one and is justo how i imagine it would be. You really should get one, even if it is expensive is absolutely worth it!

I bought this for college and fell in love with it. There is so much room, but the bag itself is not too large to carry or to become uncomfortable. Really, really love it!

Great backpack for middle and high school! Daughter loves it.

The bag is perfect for me. I can take it to school or on vacation. Although the colors are not as vibrant as the pictures the backpack is very comfortable. Overall, I would recommend this backpack to a friend or family member.

I absolutely loved it! I pretty much did everything with my backpack.. I used it for school, hiking, camping, you name it!

I like the backpack. It has enough pockets designed to hold different items

This was a great backpack, loved the pockets and separation space. I was in love with the charcoal color, however the magenta accents are not on the front pocket. They are flipped inside out and charcoal as well. The pack was for my daughter so she found it too masculine without the accents. We did return it and opted for another color comb. That said , the size & shape were great.
