Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

This pack feels a bit tighter than my old North Face one but it might be because it's new. Otherwise beautiful color, lots of pockets and compartments, and lightweight.

NICE COLOR MANY POCKETS

Always wanted one for years and finally got it and I've been using it for travel. Too bad no anti theft feature.

I think this is a perfect clinical bag. It has space for a change of scrubs, a felt pocket perfect for a stethoscope, and many more compartments for whatever you need. I love it & it's so practical.

I like that this has a lot of pockets. The straps are comfortable. The does not stand on its own so be mindful of that when setting it down. I wish it was smaller compared to the men's so it's more tailored to women's backs. I will continue to use the Jester for my daily commutes and reserve this for out of state trips and camping.

This backpack is very comfortable-you really don't feel the heaviness. I got the TNF BLACK/ASHEN PURPLE color and I love the design it's classic yet modern. The pockets are doing good so far. One thing that I would change is make more room. It can probably fit 3 big school books fine, but more than that would stretch it out. Overall, great for your back and nice design!

Love this backpack. It is sleek and lightweight and allows me to carry the necessities of a trip. Only downside is it's large pocket a little small and doesn't fit all that many items. Overall great backpack.

I bought this backpack for travel and some light hiking. The only thing I don't like about this backpack is the laptop space. It's bot needed in my case, and is a useless space. I adore the color!

I love this backpack! I had the same kind from a few years ago but wanted it in black so ordered a new one. I have very few complaints and recommend it to anyone who's looking for a classic durable backpack. The only thing is that I think the smaller pocket is smaller on this one than the one from my old backpack (same style just older model)-the pocket isn't as deep which was a little disappointing because I feel like I have less storage space than my old backpack. Other than that, it's great and I love it!

I bought this for my middle school child. She loves this backpack, but wish that it was a touch bigger.

I really like this bag and fits everything I need for school. The only thing I don't like is that it cant stand up on it's own.

Super stylish, a lot of space. The biggest pocket is a little stiff. Perfect for a lap top or slender text book

I love the multiple zip compartments as well as all the little pockets inside and around the backpack. The mesh side pocket also has an extra strap for tall water bottles which prevent it from falling out as well as putting less stress on the mesh pocket. Only thing I didn't care for was the weight of the backpack BEFORE it was even filled. My daughter is a petite high schooler and with her chromebook, notebooks, water, lunch and school supplies, it is about 10+ pounds at least. She walks so I worry about her back. Other than that, it functions well, is sturdy and good looking.

Great. Very comfortable and practical. I enjoy using it at work and home for my laptop, shoes, scrubs and umbrella. Only complaint is that it doesn't sit upright.

I love the color, it looks nicer in person. My 14" laptop was able to fit comfortably (even with a sleeve on) but I wish the side pockets could fit my 40 oz hydro.

my daughter chose this for her school bag as they are not using lockers this year and she loves it. holds a lot and is comfortable to wear

My only complaint is I have a hard time fitting books/binders with my computer. It's a little smaller than I thought but overall I love it & would buy it again!

Purchased this backpack for my daughter for highschool and she loves it but it started to shred a little inside and we still have not been able to get in touch with customer service.

I bring it everywhere with me: on the train, walking around, carrying my laptop around, etc.

Use for school, not a lot of room, wish it was bigger

I really like the backpack but it was a bit small for what I needed. I also really like the colors and the patters. It also has several packets and it's very light weight.

To carry books and laptop around campus. Not great in rainy VA fall weather.

I use this backpack to commute to work every day. It fits my lunch bag (with a lot of tupperware), a coat, my laptop, extra charger, hydroflask water bottle, and portable coffee mug. It it doesn't look too packed! Good material. Back of it is a little stiff, but it is not uncomfortable in any way. I've never used it for hiking but I'm assuming to would do well. I recommend this back pack!

I bought this backpack for hiking to replace a backpack I've been using for years that is getting a bit worn that had a drawstring and larger volume main compartment. This backpack is stylish with great color but a flatter, narrower space in the two main compartments that seems better designed for a laptop and notebooks than carrying the things I would take hiking. It's a nice backpack but won't replace my other hiking backpack.

The pockets on the side seem to have been sewn incorrectly and whatever you put in the side falls out. I prefer my Patagonia backpack to this one. The student discount was nice, though.
