Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Love this backpack! I didn't know that the special straps and padding in the back would have such a huge effect on comfort, but they feel amazing! It's obvious that these backpacks were made with great consideration for comfort and quality. Although I've only used it a couple times now, I can definitely tell that this backpack will last me a very long time!

I first bought this backpack a year ago for my daughter. She loves it so much I bought 3 more for my other two daughters and wife.

Amazing backpack. A little pricey, but definitely worth the money

Love this backpack! Very secure and durable

I honestly love this backpack! Its design and aesthetics are great! I use it daily for any scenario that requires a backpack. It is very comfortable and vivid! I've never had any back pain whatsoever, and it does come with the promising features!

I bought the new refreshed version of this backpack, so this review will be the most outdated. However, North Face continues to bring the best products to date and I love mine. It is roomy enough for me as a student, extremely comfortable, and enough pockets to last me days. My favorite feature is the laptop sling tech they have. It keeps your laptop suspended in the air instead of having it touch the ground everytime you set it down. You have no idea how much backpacks just lets the laptop touch the bottom and hit the floor. Things like the laptop sling is clear sign of attention to detail and is what continues me keep coming back to North Face. One thing i would like improved is the waist strap as it isnt as innovative to take off as the sternum straps per say. But overall, the borealis continues to be the leading standards for backpacks in my life. Great job :)

It's a great backpack that's stylish and fits all your stuff. It's super lightweight and the smaller pockets are great to get to your phone, wallet, headphones or whatever you need in a jiffy.

I love this new model, I have the old model of this backpack and used it to it's full potential, decided it was time for a new one and was so happy to see they changed it, I LOVE IT EVEN MORE! I love the laptop, tablet, and phone pockets (so soft and prevents scratches). Definitely keeping up with this generation of technology. LOVE IT!

The color, comfort level, and space were all perfect. I was worried it was going to be too small, but nope! It was the perfect size for me to carry my college textbooks. I absolutely love the back support! It was well worth the money I spent.

I love this back pack and it will be great for college!

I use this bag on a daily basis to and from work in NYC. Also for weekend trips. Its really practical and super stylish.

Bought this as a gift for my boyfriend and so far he loves it. Loves the design and can be used for school or traveling

I needed a new backpack for college and this was perfect. The laptop sleeve fit my 15 inch laptop, but because it was a thicker computer (it's a gaming computer) I wasn't going to be able to use it. I was very sad to have to return it because I loved this pack very much for its features and look. 10/10 would buy again. (Also, if you're worried about the laptop sleeve, it will fit you computer as long as it's not very thick.

This is a great backpack for work or school. There's a lot of space and pockets to fit anything and everything. Include a dedicated section to securely transport your laptop. The straps and backing are padded to provide great support and comfort. Well-designed for ventilation as well.

Book bag matches all of my needs. Major upgrade!

I have bought this pack for years....the update looked good but I still worried I would like the old model better....BUT the update is amazing. The material seems to be better quality and the back of the pack is so cushiony! Straps are super comfortable and all the digital compartments are super soft and padded! Best just got better...rock on North Face.

Great for college

This purchase was as good as it gets. I have had several backpacks for work use and have "blown through" all of them. My job requires weekly travel and I use my backpack daily for computer, iPad, files, etc. The previous brand have broken down quickly with numerous issues (broken zipper, torn pockets, etc.) This North Face bag is strudy and stylish. I owe it to my son for recommending North Face, as he has had his NF backback for 4 years and it is still in use.

I purchased this for my son. His previous one he had for two years and was stolen at college. It was in excellent shape. He liked it so much that he wanted a second one. Good testimony to a fine product!! It's not the largest of backpacks but it suits him well as he doesn't like to carry anything too bulky.

I bought this for my husband as a thank you gift and he loves it. His other backpack tore completely so I'm hoping the Northface brand lives up to its hype and last longer than his other one (different brand). The backpack is incredibly roomy and holds all of his heavy textbooks. Nice looking too.

Best backpack ever

I really love this backpack, it was totally what I hoped it would be. The only issue I've had is that there's a lot of space, but that space doesn't seem to stretch out very well. It will go down, but not out. This hasn't bothered me too much though, and the other features more than make up for it. A fantastic backpack.

This is a great commuter backpack. I use it to commute to work with my laptop that I always have on me. I love the fact that there are so many pockets and it is very durable. I use it for traveling too because it is so roomy. It fits everything very well and I have a place for everything that I need. The North Face never fails me.

I always knew that the North Face had incredible packs but I was blown away when I used this pack for the first time. These packs are designed just for women!! I haven't seen any other brand do that before. That is so clever of them to add the night soft fabric inside of the pockets to keep my phone and sunglasses from getting scratched. I am bummed I have to wait until next school year to show off my pack but I am going to use it all summer long!!!!

Got this after having a backpack that constantly hurt shoulders and back. After using for about 6 months, I can stand with this on and about 10 pounds in the bag and have no discomfort. Balances weight perfectly on shoulder and I love the pocket for a tablet. Everything anyone could ask for and is still an extremely thin backpack that is barely noticeable
