Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

All the products I have ever purchased at north face have been outstanding

I bought the backpack because i was starting a commute, using public transportation, to get to work and i didn't want to carry a laptop bag in addition to a lunch bag and whatever else i needed for that day. This is perfect! It fits my laptop, iPad, lunch, and i can strap my jacket to the front when I'm not wearing it. There's several pockets and TONS of space. It's a little heavy when you first pick it up, but it's not a big deal with what I'm carrying. I'm about 5'4", and i feel like the bag is a good size for me... I'd recommend this bag to anyone that is looking to condense what the carry onto a bus or train... would be great for school!

This backpack was more than I expected. It is handsome, serviceable, sturdy, comfortable to wear, and is able to accommodate everything a college freshman needs to carry. It was a gift for my grandson, and he is delighted with it: which makes me a very happy grandmother. As we grandmothers are aware, as our grandchildren get older it becomes increasingly hard to buy things that they will like and use. Do not hesitate to buy this for a college age young adult, because they will love it.

This is such a great school bag for my highschooler. Well made and distributes weight well. I'll be buying another for her sister.

My new middle-schooler has to carry so many books every day and his old backpack was bothering his back. My friend recommended The North Face and I am happy I made the purchase. This bag has so much more support and my son commented on how much better it is for him now. He also loves the great colors and look of it. I highly recommend!

This backpack is a Christmas gift. It appears to be everything you advertised. Any Northface product we have purchased has been of excellent quality and long lasting. I would recommend any product you manufacture.

Great quality. Perfect size. Love the color. Would recommend.

I replaced my son's Jester II with this one and the colors of this backpack are great and I know that he will get many years use out of this one just like his first one.

This bag is awesome. I am a high school senior and it fits most of everything I put in it. Great style, comfortable and just perfect.

Shipping was fast. I can load a lot of stuff and even hang stuff on te front. The color is perfect for me. It doesn't look or feel bulky.

I love it but there isn't space to put a lot of stuff in it. It feels very comfortable on your back

I haven't owned a backpack since college days and I'm now 53 years old. I've carried a canvas brief case to trade shows for years and often come away exhausted and in pain from carrying unbalanced weight all day long. I was headed to Tennessee for a show followed by some time in the Smoky Mountains and thought I would give a backpack a try. I chose North Face as it was the brand I bought for my kids when they headed off for college. I chose the Borealis as it appeared to be the size I needed and I liked the price. As it turned out it was the perfect choice. It had plenty of space for all the literature I picked up at the show as well as secure storage for my laptop and tablet. It then was the perfect size for the mountain trails of the Smoky Mountains. Plenty of room for camera and lenses, snacks, beverages, sweatshirt and assorted other supplies. The straps were super comfortable as well. I am very pleased with my purchase.

The BOREALIS BACKPACK in black is just what I was looking for. I recently went back to school and needed a comfortable way to get my books to classes. Even with a heavy load the backpack sits comfortably and does not dig into my shoulders. I have gotten compliments on it and believe it will last through my three year program and then some!

My son needed a new backpack for high school. We picked this one as a happy medium between very expensive (built like a tank) and relatively cheap (falls apart after one school year of use). He absolutely loves it. It's very sturdy and seems to be made to last. We'll see, but so far so good.

Best necessity! I use it everyday. Saves my back, and I use it for everything.

Once again The North Face doesn't fail! I have only ever purchased their backpacks for my kids and this time was no different. Excellent quality and long lasting material!

The quality about it is excellent and the shipment is fantastic.

Excellent backpack for school. Fits everything I need with ample space.

This backpack is awesome! I am in nursing school so we have a lot of books to carry around and this backpack is perfect for that. I really like all the little pockets and space that it has too.

my son's 1st year in HS & all his books & ipad fits

This backpack is excellent. Everyday, I have to carry about 4 textbooks as well as buch of other notebooks, binder, and other miscellaneous items. Every other backpack I've had before this either eventually ripped or didn't even fit everything in the first place. When I bought this backpack though it fit all my stuff, and is very comfortable and durable. This price might be a bit high for some but it is worth every penny. Honestly, not even going to consider any other backpack after this.

I bought this bag after my yapavai that I purchased 10 years ago started to wear down (still 100% wearable) I sent it in to the northface and they gave me 50 bucks toward a new bag! This is easily one of the greatest investments you can make. Aside from having a quality product you can always rely on no matter what the weather or climate, the customer care is excellent. I have spent two years studying overseas and my bag has practically been through every test I can imagine and still looks new. I can't stress how great of a product the northface makes, if the price is scaring you, just think about all the use you will get out of the bag. Northface bags are not buy a new one very year. These things are built to last a lifetime.

I ordered these after my kids got their backpacks. I love the quality and the amount of compartments that these packs offer. There is durability and stability built into ever stitch made on this first quality backpack. The problem is the stylish pack, along with the workmanship and warranty I'll never have to buy another one the rest of my life.

I use this bag for school every day. It has 2 slots 1 for my iPad and one for my laptop and then plenty of space for books

Love it. Use it for school and it is very helpful.
