Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Great backpack, use it for school. Carries all my heavy books and laptop. Love the pockets!!

I purchased this backpack in "JAIDEN GREEN SMOKEY OMBRE PRINT". I have to admit that I was a little hesitant about the color, but was pleasantly surprised how great it was when it arrived. My laptop and books fit nicely into the bag and it SO comfortable. My only grip would be about the chest straps as they get in the way... would be better if they were detachable. Overall, I am thrilled with my purchase.

I bought the backpack for my high school daughter. It is the first time I have seen her wear a backpack with both shoulder straps on! she said it is the most comfortable pack EVER. She loves the look, I love the fact that she is standing straight.

Honestly best backpack ever! So organized and comfortable to wear!!

The backpack arrived quickly. It looks even better than online. It is obviously very well made. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. It holds everything I need with plenty of room to spare. I am very happy with the purchase.

This was a gift for our daughter for Valentine's day; since I ordered it pretty late to arrive in time, I had printed & cut out the image to paste on the card...but, no, Zappos out-performed again, and delivered the pack on Valentine's Day. She's been using the pack daily since it arrived and she cherishes it - durable construction, stylish, pockets & compartments in all the right spots.

Bought this as a gift for my grandaughter. She has loved it and it goes to school and lacrosse practice every day.!! As normal Northface has done a great job!!

Awsome quality , fast and easy shipping , reasonable prices

This backpack has all of the room you need for travel. Perfect for airline travel. Seems very durable and high quality.

I need a new backpack for college that would actually hold all my books and personal things. This backpack is great I can fix everything I need and still have more room! Also great on support!

I really liked this bag. It fits all of my binders for school and still manages to have room.

I'm a sophomore in college and was using a backpack that I've had since 7th grade. Last semester I had to go to the library and had to bring all my school books/supplies with me and carrying all of that really hurt my back. That's when I decided it was time to get a new backpack. After reading reviews on the Borealis and the Recon, I decided to go with the Borealis. The front compartment has so much organization that I can fit all my pens, pencils, highlights, etc. in it and don't need to waste room with a pencil bag anymore. The laptop compartment is really well padded that I'm not worried about my laptop being damaged when I set my backpack down or something like that. When I started packing my backpack to go to the library I was a little nervous about the amount of room because it looked like there wasn't going to be enough, but there was. I was able to fit my laptop, 1 5sub notebook, 1 3sub notebook, a folder, a planner, and my laptop charger in there perfectly fine. It could've held more too. I got the Borealis backpack in the grey/sea green color and it looks so cute, I love it. And the colors are pretty much what you see online. All the padding for extra back/shoulder support is wonderful. When I walked to the library a couple days ago, my back wasn't hurting at all. Overall, this is a great purchase, and well worth the $89...your money will be well spent.

This backpack is the best one I've bought. I'm blown away by how much it can carry and have enough support at the same time. I love the north face products and everything I have bought from the company has been a success.

My daughter loves her backpack. It is very well constructed. The colors are exactly what she wanted.

This backpack was very well constructed. I have tried many other types of backpacks to carry heavy textbooks in and to conveniently store many smaller novels and this one is the best by far. Very comfortable and sturdy for trips and maximal convenience. Worth the price in quality.

This backpack has been amazing. I'm a college student and I have a lot of binders and textbooks to bring to class everyday, including my laptop. This backpack carries everything at ease, and it's easy on the back. It's also stylish and cute! A must have!

Would never buy another brand of book sack, beanie, gloves, jacket, ski jacket, fleece, or warm up pants again. Love all of my TNF products!

Everything fits in here from my MacBook to my 5+ textbooks. It holds my water bottle and manages to keep everything organized. Love this backpack.

I love the color of the green and grey backpack. Great space for a laptop and school books.

I purchased this backpack for the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year in the pink with black and I absolutely love it!! It is so durable and has so much room and different pockets to help stay organized & a laptop sleeve that is so convenient! It is a great color, and definitely big enough to fit all of my high school textbooks and looking foward to using this the next 4 years! :)

I love this backpack. The only thing that I don't like is that it isn't as big as I thought it would be. My friend had the same one, but she's had it for longer. She says that it does stretch out after you wash it. But it is very comfortable, stylish and an excellence bag all around.

This backpack is absolutely amazing! Tons of room and pockets. I love the safety whistle! Buy this one if you're on the edge

Love this backpack it's perfect for college and it keeps my laptop secure!

Very happy with Northface backpack for my daughter, although its delivery was delayed and it was a day late for my daughter's birthday. Have to blame that on bad weather a few days before, though!

Got this for my high school daughter. This is what she requested & she loves it. Says plenty of room for books, laptop, etc. Very happy with quality.
