good for school but a little small if u have mire than two binders p much. this is my second borealis but my first women's one and it's noticeably smaller than the men's but it's fine. i'm salty i had to buy a new one because all the zipper pulls broke off and the inside lining had a bunch of big holes and north face wouldn't even replace the zipper pulls which is literally js knotted on. but it's waterproof and sturdy otherwise and i liked it enough to replace

Bought this backpack for college and so far I love everything! I will say it's not as big as I thought, but the compartments in this backpack are super useful. Overall, great backpack and it's very comfortable.

The quality of the backpack is REALLY nice. It has a good reinforced back and straps. It's just not that spacious if you carry a lot of books. And the weight distribution is kinda off. But other than that it's worth the money!

I love the material and the quality of this bag. The only thing I do not like is how small the compartments are. If the bag had a bit more space it would've been 5/5 starts

I like this backpack, it's really sturdy and holds a lot of my stuff for school. I wish it was a little more spacious, but I understand that this backpack can be used for different things, such as hiking. I can't wait to try it for other things!

I got this backpack for my senior year of high school. I like it because it has a lot of compartments that fit all my chargers and various supplies. My only critique is that it is hard to arrange supplies in the main space because the backpack has more space on the bottom compared to the top. However, I do not use the backpack the way it was intended for so that's on me. Otherwise, I enjoy the backpack and hope to use it throughout college.

Using for my college class, it's so great for storage! 16 inch laptop, two binders, a notebook, and my pencil case!

Spacious, comfortable backpack that's good for trips and hiking. It's a little big for everyday use, but still does the job.

I bought this for my daughter for her school backpack. Looks sturdy and well made to hold all of her heavy books.

Got this hoping it will last me all four years of college. Haven't really used it yet but it fits my computer (has a false bottom) and has a secure water bottle holder.

The last North Face book bag lasted my teenager two years, she isn't rough or abnormally hard on any of her things either. I do hope that this one lasts her longer.

It's a great bag - would like more choices like larger backpacks (29+ Liters) because this style is great but can be a little small when adding binders and computers.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Love the style and materials except the laptop compartment which barely fits my 15 inch laptop. I have to return it and I’m going to order the Borealis men’s version that’s a bit taller according to the online measurements

WIsh the fabric expanded more, and that the water bottle pocket on the sides were more expandable/larger. The water bottle pocket does not fit large bottles.

Mostly awesome. It seems really well made and like it will last a long time. The only short coming is that its less spacious than I expected- it fits my work laptop but it takes some tugging on the zippers. I can fit my purse, lunch box, and water bottle- but thats it. No hope for adding umbrella, cardigan, hat, etc etc. Serves most of my purposes and seems like a relatively good value for price.

This backpack is definitely a backpack. Truthfully i don't really know if it is worth the price, however I have only been using it for a week. I think the price of the backpack can be seen in durability and the fact that it is water resistant. The design of the backpack makes it feel like it isn't very spacious, but it can hold a good amount of things, but everything is very squished
