Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I was hesitant to purchase this because of the price but I'm so glad I did. Feels weightless on my back and has great storage space. Great in the rain!

My daughter loves her new backpack. It's sturdy, functional, and built well. This will last a long time. Definitely worth the money.

I use for school and travel! My previous Borealis backpack lasted two years!! I've always had to purchase a new one yearly until now. It fits well and distributes weight evenly - I would never buy another brand again

I use this product for school. It has pockets to carry my everyday needs like water bottle, computer, folders and anything else I would need. It fits very comfortable and doesn't feel like it's too tight.

We used this backpack on a trip to Europe for our honeymoon. It really held up well over the travel and the available colors made choosing one that my wife likes very easy. Overall, very versatile. Plenty of space and aesthetically pleasing.

I am a college student and use this bag mainly for my daily to and fro to college. The bag is very sturdy and seems that it will last for a long time. However, the bag space isn't very much. One folder, one book and one laptop along with some other stuff pretty much takes up all of the back compartment. The front compartment is nice and has many sub compartments and this helps in keeping stuff organised. One nice surprise for me is that it had a fleece lined pocket in the front. Overall I like this bag.

I would recommend this book bag.

I've had several backpacks. I ride the bus and I'm usually carrying stuff. This backpack was made for me. It's beautifully designed and comfortable, it's the best backpack I've ever owned.

Good for the everyday work/school commuter with notebooks and 17 inch laptop. Laptop sleeve holds well but doesn't seem to have a lot of give (if your laptop is bulky then it will fill up the sleeve and the sleeve doesn't stretch much). Can fit 2-3 notebooks, laptop, and textbook at best, and the backpack doesn't sink down and give you a hunchback at full capacity. The chest straps are thin, not meant for a super heavy load for travel/hiking in my opinion. Perfect for someone in the Silicon Valley. The water bottle sleeve are good for small/medium bottles/thermoses. Being a tall guy it fits my back and doesn't look overwhelmingly huge, but still is a big backpack. Zippers seem to get caught during the first few weeks but then run smoothly after some wear, can be a bit annoying at some points

This is my first backpack from North Face. Very comfortable with lots of pockets for storage. Greaty quality.

This was a gift for my daughter, and she loves it. These backpacks are pricey but great quality.

I bought this backpack for a Christmas present for my daughter. She is a college student and definitely needs something that's going to last (and looks cute). This backpack goes above and beyond all of that! I would highly recommend Northface backpacks to anyone interested in quality, performance, and looks!

My Neice loves it!!

I bought this bag for my girlfriend after hers broke. She loves it! it's the perfect gift for any college student!

Exactly what I was looking for! I got the unisex backpack. I am 5ft 2 (f) and it fits great!

Really nice and comfortable bag with a large space holding all my stuff for a day trip and school!

This is the bag my son selected for school. All his books fit and he is very pleased with the bag so far.

This product is awesome. I love the built quality and the toughness it packs within. It has a lot of compartments to fit you need for the day or even for the week along with a laptop section.

Top notch quality!

My boyfriend had an old North Face backpack from high school more than 10 years ago. It was such good quality that it lasted this long but now has holes in it. The Borealis was a replacement for it. Love the material, love the colors, and the quality is excellent. He uses it daily to go to work. We are hoping it to last just as long as the last one :)

Great for school. My daughter is so happy with this bag.

This bag is exactly what I was looking for! This has such large capacity considering that this is one liter less than the their Jester model, but this holds everything that I need it to hold. To begin, I am a student carrying books, netbooks, folders and my laptop around campus, I am also a year to year traveler. So I need something that will hold up for light traveling and school round supplies. This backpack has two larger compartments, a small compartment and then even smaller sections to store smaller things like headphones, chargers, etc. My Jester just has a main compartment, one medium size compartment that is narrower than the borealis and in the main compartment it has this small sections. The Borealis was something I purchased thinking that I wanted something wider, large capacity, comfortable, and waterproof. So far this bag achieve's everything in my list of features necessary for a good backpack. Unlike my jester which didn't make the cut for me. It's not that the jester is bad, but it could be much better if they developed a better design. Overall I have hd this backpack for 3 days and it has helped me more than my Jester ever can.

I love this backpack! It's super cute in the dark gray with black and gold accents. It's a little smaller than I wanted but not a problem. I can fit my laptop, charger, wallet etc., plus workout clothes for the gym. Pretty tight once I have all of that in there but can't complain. Just what I needed!

Replaced Tumi briefcase and much easier through airports

Tons of space-well balanced
