Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

The borealis backpack by north face is the greatest backpack I've ever owned. It's light weight to carry anywhere you go but also durable enough to last a life time. This should be your go to backpack when looking to buy one!

The bag is spacious and has many compartments. I love it! Definitely would recommend.

My daughter kept going through backpack after backpack for school. We decided to try this North Face backpack and spend the extra money. Her words, "it is amazing!" Lots of compartments to put all of her school supplies/textbooks/etc. The other great thing is it helps lighten the load because of the extra padding on straps. Not only does it function great, but it is also great looking. I think we have found a backpack that will last her for several years!

My friend recently purchased this backpack and after I saw it I fell in love and bought one myself. The amount of compartments is perfect for everything a college student may need to hold. It won't easily fit three textbooks in it at once with your laptop and binder but plenty of space for one or two. Back panel makes carrying this backpack more enjoyable and less of a chore. I am extremely happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend.

Love the new backpack it is great for anything! Everything is excellent it even holds my mac book!

Purchased the grey borealis not too long ago online, direct from the north face website. I was pleasantly surprised at the delivery speed as it arrived so fast, I could barely believe it. Of course, do we really care about the delivery when you really want the review on the product? Well I can say that the pleasantries extend to the product. I was worried the backpack would not fit my 15" mbp, but it did! Even with a case on it. It does stick out a tiny bit, but not noticeable. The bottom padding under the laptop sleeve keeps my mbp safe. Love the compartments the bag has as well. If I only carry a 15" mbp, a few small devices, a small notebook, some pens and other small essentials, the backpack hardly expands making it look slim. I can imagine putting a sweater in there, an iPad, some snacks, a book, and a couple of water bottls on the sides and the backpack would still hold it all fine. You probably can fit a ton of textbooks (maybe 2?) if you are a student, but who really want to carry that many anyways? That's what a locker or car is for! Overall, backpack is an eye candy, comfortable, and has room to carry just the right amount of things without looking overly bulky. I would likely buy another, if I need to.

This is my first North Face back-pack, it is awesome. It fits everything very well, there is enough room for my MacBook Pro, iPad, plus school books. It is very lightweight. When the bag is full it does not feel heavy on the back as the weight distribution is amazing. I would recommend this back-pack to family and friends in a heartbeat. Great buy, for a decent price, plus the lifetime warranty is an extra added bonus. Y'all won't be disappointed if you purchase this back-pack.

The backpack is attractive and versatile with ample room. It has a sturdy construction and a good value for the price.

It's awesome material. Great for school and I'm about for pack it up for trips. It has so many pockets for storage. I might just buy another one as a gift

I bought this backpack for my teenage daughter who really knows how to put them to the test. She typically carries them everyday at near capacity. We just got this one so I can't say whether it will last as long as we hope but it looks very well made. We'll keep you posted!

The laptop pocket keeps your laptop very secure, good number of pockets, even when I fill the backpack it does not look bulky, I put three textbooks and a laptop and my shoulders didn't hurt because the handles distribute the weight well

Backpack is exactly what I expected it to be. Very spacious and not bulky. I love it. It's my everyday bag now. North face did great with this style!!

Bought this for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it! The backpack is very light weight and spacious. It contains a laptop sleeve compartment and various pockets to hold pens and other items. Great for a college student!

Bought this backpack for my boyfriend who loves the outdoors. He is supper excited and loves this backpack. Although he said it could be a little bigger he loves all bells and whistles that this backpack has and he swears is great for hiking. Would recommend.

The Borealis backpack by The NorthFace is the most amazing backpack I have ever owned. It encompasses all that I need and want in a everyday backpack. At first glance you already know that it is well constructed by integrity of its stitch lines and materials used. The color combo I chose, grey and black, matches anything and everything I wear. The functionality is perfect for my lifestyle. Whether I am using it for work, school, or play, the Borealis has enough pockets and features to accomodate all my activities. My favorite thing about this backpack is the confidence it gives me every time I strap it on my back. I am assured that my belongings are in safely secured so I can focus on the task at hand. An added bonus is the stylish design and how it never fails to make me look good. Also, The NorthFace warranty is second to none. That's an awesome backpack!

The quality of the backpack is great. Plenty of space with several different compartments. Only thing is that I wish the laptop holder was a big bigger. I have a larger screen so it makes room tight when I bring along my computer.

This backpack is the perfect size, it's very fashionable and surprising it fits my MacBook Pro 15inch retina perfectly. A great buy

My first NF backpack! I bought this is the bright orange/brown/black combo and it is perfect. So much space and organizational compartments. I'm obsessed.

So happy with the backpack! Great structure and durability.

I absolutely love this backpack. It conveniently fits all of my books and it has comfy straps for carrying. It's very durable and I carry it everywhere. Best purchase ever!

I bought this backpack about a month ago and it has been probably the best backpack I have ever had. It has actual padding and good support for my laptop for when I go to school and it has many pockets so I can keep all of my things organized. Definitely a 11/10 backpack.

bought this for college & it's amazing. Very spacious. It also feels super light when carrying it, which is nice for when you have to walk around campus all the time.

Really well made. Hefty zippers. The bottom-padded laptop sleeve is perfect for my 13" MBA. Back and shoulder support is awesome. Perfect for school and as an everyday bag.

I recommend this backpack to anyone who has to carry their laptop around school or town. It feels great wearing it! Everyone gives me compliments every time they see it.
