Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Super comfy and perfect amount of pockets

My granddaughter uses hers for school she always wants a north face backpack holds everything comfortably all over just awesome backpacks!!!! Very happy!!!!

This is perfect for school! Comfortable, roomy and lightweight. Definitely recommend!

I use it for school and it exceeded my expectations. I heard people commenting frequently about the brand. I was hesitant only because it is a bit pricy but, it was defenitely worth it. By far one of the best backpacks on the market.

I am using my backpack for school. I love it because it can fit all my things, and it has so much back support! I let one of my friends try it out and they ordered one the best day! (it's also super cute!)

Great durable backpack. Many compartments available throughout the pack to fit any necessary items. Laptop slip fit my 13" laptop perfectly! Although there are many compartments and the pack is very roomy, it still does not feel heavy-weighted whatsoever. Would recommend this backpack to anyone!

At the beginning of her 8th grade year, my almost 13 year old daughter wanted a North Face backpack. She wanted it in blue, her favorite color, and for it to have pockets to store different things. She didn't usually ask for brand specific items, so I figure this one request was important. She got her backpack and was thrilled!!! 9th grade came along..."No. I don't want a new back pack," she said. 10th grade year..."No. I don't need a new back pack," she said. 11th grade..."No. I don't need a new back pack," she said. 12th grade comes along... I didn't ask, But, she did. She said, "Mom. I would like a new North Face backpack. Mine is still fine but it's pretty old. I would like a new one before I go to College." She this one for her her Senior year and I expect it will stay with her for years to come. :)

I bought this for my first year of college, and I love it. The cushioned slots are great for electronics, and there is still enough space for books and papers.

I use this backpack for college, and I think it is really great. It fits all my schoolwork.

I absolutely love this backpack. Not only is it sturdy and comfortable to wear, but it is very stylish also. I always receive comments when I wear this backpack. It is very is very useful for school and carrying around a load of heavy books comfortably. This product is definitely worth the money!

I love this backpack is has everything I could want! And it's super roomy. The only con is the straps can hurt if you're wearing a tank top with it. But I figure they will soften with use. I've had it for a month

I have the previous version of this backpack and I absolutely love it. The only problem is that it is so incredibly popular that I have seen at least four different people use them in the small community college that I go to. Hence, I am looking to get this updated version when I get the funds.

im a college student so my main focus when looking for school supplies is durability and practicality. this is my first time buying a northface product and i have to say i am impressed by the quality of their items. i bought the borealis in surf green and it is the most beautiful mint color, its durable, spacious, and ridiculously comfortable on my 5'4 frame. i would hands down recommend this product to EVERYBODY and im already looking for my next northface investment! im blown away by the quality and excellent customer service.

Using it for high school

I am using this as my school backpack - I take a full course load, participate in several additional activities, and also work. This will serve all purposes!

Bought this for my son for school! Works out great!! Holds all of his things with room leftover. Great product!!

This is a really great backpack, especially for a college student. I walk to campus everyday and had bad back problems due to years of carrying a backpack with no support. After using this backpack for a week, i have not felt any pain at all! I like how the pockets are fleece lined to protect my phone and electronics. It is a good sized backpack but not too big. I really reccomend this. It fits all my notebooks and I can see myself using it for travel and on the plane. You just have to break it in for a week or two becauseit is a little stiff when you first get it. After, it slightly conforms to you and is perfect!

I use this backpack for school and it is fantastic! Whether I'm biking to class or walking through campus it is very comfortable and looks nice too. There are lots of pockets to help keep organized which I love!

This backpack is sturdy and roomy. Perfect for school and work! My sister (who has destroyed all other types of backpacks within months) bought one last year and it is still in amazing condition so decided to get one. I am so happy I did. This backpack is amazing!

I really like this backpack! It fits all of my five huge textbooks ( I just started PTA school) and I don't feel like it's going to fall apart due to the weight

I gave the backpack 5 stars because it really is a nicely constructed bag. I ordered the backpack for my daughter who is in middle school. When the backpack is full of folders, books, pens and other things it is quite heavy but I do understand it is built for more of a 'laptop' protection design etc...If I were using it for its intended use, it would be perfect! Thank you North Face!

Back to school backpack

I ordered three Borealis for my grandsons that are in high school. They love the roomy and design of the NorthFace backpack.

I use to think it was crazy to spend so much money on a bookbag until now. The north face bookbag that I bought is the best I have ever owned! In the past my shoulders would hurt whenever I carried my book bag around now since using the north face my sholdsrs no longer hurt. I am the manager of a sporting good store that carries the north face bookbags and I recommend it to every customer.

Teenagers are expected to carry so many things at school including computers-then have to head straight to sports. This bag has room for it all-electronics and great water bottle storage. Love the fitted laptop area! Also great for on back and shoulders. Really important when lugging all that around.
