Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I ride the bus a lot and I can carry my books and computer in it and I use it almost daily.I really like the color and all in its the best backpack ive ever owned.

This backpack just took me, my Nikon, and other essentials to Central and Southwest Asia and back! It held up great and kept my stuff safe despite the dirt and dust. Durable yet comfortable construction that feels great whether your wearing a t-shirt or a flak jacket...and it looks good too!

Good pockets and very lightweight

roomy and extremely comfortable . a definite winner!!

My daughter loves the backpack. We waited until the color we wanted was off backorder but once it was in it shipped right away. Great colors, excellent quality, functional. It is the second North Face backpack we have purchased. We still have the first one and it is over 8 years old and in good shape. Great customer service and product. We have purchased other North Face products as well and are happy with them.

I use the bookbag for my college classes!

Bought this for my son who is in High School. He loves it. Very durable. Lots of room.

I love this backpack! I can fit all my school books in it plus more, and it's comfortable!

Been using this bag for school. Provides just enough space to keep everything neat and organized.

Comfortable and durable!! What else can I ask!!

Researched, checked it out at local REI for comfort, features, etc. and finally decided this was the backpack for our overseas travels; sufficient pockets for storage of iPhone, iPad, external battery pack, pens, etc. plus large capacity for sweater/rain jackets. Bottle pocket is a little hard to access when the pack is on so not a pack for long hikes. But will be perfect for our overseas flights and light hiking/sight seeing. Straps are quite comfortable. Pack is a little heavy with nothing in it but that is due to the padding for the back.

I love everything about it! Totally exceeded my expectations!

It's just the right size for an 8th grader that doesn't want a huge backpack!

I love how confortable my borealis Is and how organizad i keep myself with this backpack.

I had a North Face Borealis backpack last year, but everyone seemed to have the same exact color, so I bought the black/blue exclusive color recently when it came out. I'd say I've had this for about a month, and it is perfect. It's even better than the last Borealis model. I highly recommend it!

I love that is it very roomy, what I did not like is that the bands that go on your front chest are very rough. They are not soft or have much cushion and leave the back pack strap marks on your shoulder/chest area.

I got this for when I'm riding my enduro, and it suits my needs famously. Holds everything I need to have with me and it lets me know it's secure so I don't have to worry about losing items as I fly down a wooded trail.

This pack is the best! I travel for work and use it as one of my carry-on pieces on the plane. It fits my work laptop perfectly and all of my airplane must-haves like my fleece blanket, eye mask, snacks, ID, Kindle, etc. I recently took it to San Francisco to attend Dreamforce and I would have been miserable walking around for 5 days around the City without it! The fit is comfortable and I love the fleece lined mobile phone pocket in the front. I also took it on my vacation to Lake Michigan this past summer. I stayed in downtown Grand Haven and made it a point to not use my truck at all, but bike everywhere I went. The Borealis was crucial for me to bring along beach necissities and food for day excursions. #tnflocals #ambsdr

Often times, my backpack becomes very heavy with my laptop and textbooks, but this backpack definitely makes lugging all my materials across campus so much easier! I definitely recommend! Not only is it super practical, but also super cute

Used daily for school- carries books, binders, iPad, and extra clothes with no problem!

I use it for school and traveling. Very comfortable and great material

It's used daily for gym clothes and carrying a work laptop. It's a great purchase, and works perfectly for the combination of being used at work and at the gym. It's definitely comfortable and stylish.

Daughter is ambitious and wants to go to college for veterinary medicine (I'm scared about how we'll ever get approved for enough loans for this, but want to support her decision/goal). She loves North Face stuff - has 2 jackets, etc. Loves this backpack and it's features. Promised if I paid this much for a backpack she would use it in college as well, so I got it for her.

Love this! I use it for school mostly and it's perfect!!

My son uses this for college. We have been through 2 others and they both broke. He rides his bike to school and this is perfect!
