Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

The bag is very durable and comfortable. I love the quality of the bag itself, lots of compartments! It's very adorable I like the style.. Although it is too big for my size. I'm 5'2 and weight 117.. I really love it... Anyway, this was a birthday gift from my BF and I was really happy. He also introduce me to northface since he has been using northface products and had 2 northface bagpacks and he loved it becuAse of the comfortability of the northface backpacks. I hope I will get use to the size though because I really love it. The picture from above can be deceiving because it looks small from the picture but it is big for my size. Oh I got the black and blue color. It was very different from the picture it look like a whitish grayish color. Just like what other people have said from their reviews about the black and blue back pack color so it's very deceiving.. But it still looks nice.

I bought this book bag for my boyfriend as a gift for getting straight A's in college, and it was his birthday. He had researched numerous book bags. He just recently took it to travel with him and he said it was the most comfortable book bag ever, he said when this one eventually dies out he's going to buy anyone.

I love my new borealis backpack! It's very roomy and my 17 inch Dell Inspiron laptop can actually fit in the laptop sleeve. The backpack is also pretty comfortable. The padded back and laptop sleeves make the bag really easy to carry. The only con I can think of is that the material is a little stiff at first but is already staring to break in after the first couple of uses. Great job TNF!

This backpack is great. Its many compartments and pockets allow for storage for just about anything you need to bring along with you. Its size allows you to fit even a larger sized laptop in it, along with other books or items you might need to carry along with you. It also features many different straps to allow you to adjust the backpack to fit perfectly. Its design is extremely comfortable and makes carrying a backpack and painless and simple as possible.

I use my backpack for school. I'm in college, so there are lots of books. It is the most comfortable backpack I've ever had. Even with all my textbooks it feels light weight, because of the way it's designed. I love it! During winter break I will be using it on vacation in NYC.

I use this for school and it carries all my stuff and feels great on my back.

Absolutely love the practicality of this product. Using it for school as a college student it is a light weight bag that has plenty of room for my laptop and all of my books.

Buying this backpack was one of the best investments that I have made so far in 2015. I was in search of a new North Face backpack because my old Isabella one was wearing out. I came across the Borealis on the North Face website and I was intrigued by the new design that they were selling. First off, this backpack is very comfortable. The strands does not tire my shoulders. And there is a very soft padded layer that makes it very comfy for my back to wear. This backpack is very practical for me, since I am in college. It has many small pockets where I can fit my pens, pencils, lotion, perfume, and every other small items that I carry on the daily. It has a really protecting laptop compartment too, so I don't even wear a laptop sleeve on my Macbook Air anymore. Overall, this backpack has been very satisfying for me and I am very happy with my this purchase. It's comfy, practical, and simple enough to use for almost anything!

I always take a backpack when flying to my destination. I use the same backpack for business or personal travel, and I use it on the flight, and at the destination. I needed something more versatile than my old Nike backpack, and have been impressed with TNF quality in the past. Though more expensive than other brands, I bought this one to try. I was impressed. The quality and materials are top-notch (as usual TNF)... but what really set it apart was the comfort. Though heavier than the backpack I'm replacing, the comfort is far superior. No matter how much I've loaded up the bag, it keeps my back straight and there are no "hot spots" of stress on my shoulders or back. The only negative point is that I wish there was a mid-sized pocket (even better if it was zipped). There are several pockets inside, but all quite small. A mid-sized pocket would allow me to store a wallet or keys.

NEEDED IT FOR SCHOOL !!!!

As my intro says, this is the perfect bag, I've been waiting to have my whole school career. I went through brands after brands looking for factors like comfort, fashion-worthiness, durability and of course practicality and this is hands on the best quality there is out there. The customer service is awesome, they'll answer all the questions you have about this product. As a student I have to have all the qualities especially budget. I wouldn't trade NF for any brand. You have to experience it so you'll know what I'm talking about. Watch the videos as well as this will help tremendously on your decision.

I bought this for my trip to Thailand. This backpack is perfect! Lightweight yet expandable, many compartments and comfortable. I got the turquoise/purple color combo and it looks great!

It does not hurt my back which is normally how college books and things affect my back.

I use this backpack for school and I love it. I can fit all my notebooks and laptop inside.

Very comfortable. Love the way the air channels along the back panel - great circulation on hot days. Good construction.

Love this back pack.

This backpack replaced a Fox pack I have had for 8 years, and this is above and beyond what that ever was. Eletronic pockets are very soft and padded, many differnet compartment and holders. Comfortable to wear, and very good looking.

All weather use!!!

This product is great! it is very roomy! it fits all my stuff and does not put any stress on my shoulders! Would buy again and again! definitely worth your buck

I use this backpack for school, I put my book, computer, binder and 4 notebooks and he backpack is still extremely comfortable and light weight. Awesome backpack, and great investment.

I use this backpack for school and it is great. Very lightweight and has a lot of space for me to fit all my books and laptop!

I go hiking my son has one for school and we both think it's great

My daughter loves this because it may be adjusted to fit her 5' tall frame. It stays tight because it has buckles on the sides that prevent it from sagging on her. She also likes the pocket design and roominess.

My granddaughter had a backpack like this one that was really good to carry school books. We thought our grandson needed one too. We especially like the strap that goes across the chest.

excellent and fast shipping. the quality of the back pack is far superior to those at local retailers.
