Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Wonderful for school and recreational activities!

I use this for school and it perfect I love it!!

I am an incoming college freshman and I needed a sturdy backpack that will hold my textbooks and laptop. This backpack easily fits everything! Plus, it is super comfortable!

The backpack is extremely comfortable and has a ton of space! I love the look of it too

It fits everything perfectly, and the shoulder straps don't hurt or cut into your skin. It is very versatile, whether it is used as a school bag or a hiking bag.

I got this backpack for school, specifically so I would not hurt my back or shoulders with the weight of all of my binders, notebooks, and laptop. It has surpassed my expectations! As long as I wear it with both straps, the weight is evenly distributed and does not hurt my back or shoulders. The back of it is padded, as well, which has made it even more comfortable to wear. The straps on the side are great, too, because if I ever have a smaller load I can adjust the size of the main compartment by adjusting the straps. The water bottle pocket also fits my 40 oz Hydro Flask, which is something I initially was worried about. At first, I was afraid it would look like a turtle shell, now that all of my supplies are in it it feels like a normal backpack... except a million times better.

All over exploitation!

I bought this Borealis for my grandson that will be a college freshman in Sept. 2016. I suggested this style based on a Borealis owned by another grandson who is entering third grade this fall. This other grandson has had the same Borealis since kindergarten and it still looks like new. This backpack has been washed at the begining of each school year and it still looks like it did when in kindergarten! I would definitely recommend this pack.

I bought this backpack for my daughter for her Sophomore year in High School. She wanted to buy a backpack that would last through her Senior year. So after studying and reviewing hundreds of backpacks, she chose to go with North Face. She had a hard time deciding which color to choose there were so many. When we got the backpack she tried it on and looked through every pocket and space. She felt all her school things would fit in the bag. She carries a Swell bottle and it fit in the outside pocket. It also had room for her personal items. So if the dog doesn't get a hold of this backpack we expect it to carry her through High School. Maybe even into college.

My daughter ordered this for a bookbag for the upcoming school year. Plenty of room, sturdy...just as described.

Great school backpack for my high schooler!

There is a great amount of storage with lots of padding in the back.

I was worried about it being too small from other reviews but it fit everything I needed perfectly!

Great quality, perfect size for school.

I am using this backpack to commute to school in NY. It is a great size and a light weight. It can carry my laptop and has room for everything I need. At first it seemed to rub my neck, but when I actually put things into the backpack, it fit quite comfortably.

This backpack is the perfect size for my books, laptop, and other school items.

My daughter carries this for college and comfortably fits her laptop, books and various other nessesities. She small framed and the straps really make it comfortable for her to fill it up!

I am a college freshman and this backpack fits my needs perfectly. The padded area for my laptop is awesome, it's big enough to hold my books and notebooks, it's light weight and the straps sit comfortBly on my shoulders. So happy with this purchase.

It works really well for high school. It is a little small, but it still works. It is very cute, and I am glad I bought it.

This product is so versatile and sturdy...it will last at least 2 years of high school - maybe even 3

I just finished packing my backpack with all of my school supplies for college and I was amazed that it was able to fit everything! The padding in the back of the back gives so much support which will help with my slouching problem and it's just a great investment . Well worth the money!

A going off to college gift, I was told that it had to be a Northface...the Borealis fit the bill..I'm going to get a luggage tag for it..majority of students have Northface backpacks, they stand alone in durability. My son had one through college, grad school and still used it for work...over 10 years of use!

This is my college backpack and it fits everything, literally. Laptop, books, notebooks, etc. I recommend purchasing one! Love the colors and especially the whistle, maybe my favorite part!

GREAT product. Senior in Highschool, fits everything and feel LIGHT. Perfect fit. Front pocket is especially deep! LOVE.

Lots of rooms for kids school supplies. Heavy duty.
