Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

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.

I will use this back pack for college. I bought my first north face backpack years ago and it last so long and I have no doubt that this will prove the same.

I bought this for my college year daughter. She likes it.

I use this for field trips (I'm a teacher), and laptop storage/transportation. I love all the clever features, like the built-in whistle and the sturdy back padding!

I use this for school and travel. It's by far the best backpack I've ever purchased.

I use it for school and it fits everything I need!

Great backpack for transporting my computer along with other related items

Something that I really love about this backpack is the protective pocket for my laptop. Most bags just have a separate area, but this bag actually has a padded pocket and a pocket for my iPad as well. I also really like the fit of the bag and that it is made for a woman's body. It's super comfortable and perfect for college!

The biggest selling point for me was the storage space offered in such a lightweight package. Other advantages were the adjustable bungee cord ( It has carried everything I have thrown at it.) and the pack is well vented (that helps tremendously if you know what it's like having a pack on all day.).

It's has a lot of space and pockets.

This is the backpack my 9 year old chose for her backpack for 4th grade. They have a binder that has to come home each day as well as books etc...This is the perfect backpack!

I am so impressed with the durability and the overall look of the backpack. Also, I love that all of the little pockets are fleece-lined. It makes it great for phones/tablets and computers. I will totally pay that much for a great product.

Loved the look! Great for school...lots of room.

Lots of pockets, including a lined pocket for a tablet or laptop. It also has a couple of places to put water bottles. My daughter is excited to use it for school.

Going back to school in your 30's means you need practical along with style.

A traditional gift to my granddaughter to use for school. Such great quality that it doesn't Need to be replaced every year! Thanks Northface

I bought this backpack because I was tired of other back packs wearing out. I carry all of my books, laptop and clothes in my backpack for college. What was a great surprise was that the back of the pack was very stiff so it was alot more durable. It had extra pdding on the back and shoulders which is also great. I wont have to buy a backpack for a while!

Love this backpack! Fits everything perfect

First of all, this is a very attractive bag. I am going to be using it for travel, primarily one that involves teenagers. I figure this will be easy to keep clean and maintain. I love that the straps adjust to fit snugly against my back (I don't like a backpack that slings). The straps are very comfortable with the padding. It is large without being too large for my size. I didn't want a bag that I have to watch where I'm turning and how I'm turning for fear of knocking into another person or knocking something off a shelf.

I purchased this backpack for my grandson to start to school.

My niece uses her backpack for school and is not only stylish but super excited bout using it this year!
