Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

My Daughter was looking for a Stylish Backpack. I was very pleased to find the Bag Stylish and Functional thanks NorthFace.

This backpack it great! The colors and descriptions are very accurate and I would highly recommend this product. It is a bit small but I have enough time to switch my books before classes so I'm not to worried. Thanks TNF!

Looks great and spacious. The organization pocket look very helpful for the upcoming years. The laptop sleeve is going to be great for everything

It runs small . But overall a great backpack. Using it for college in about a week

Love it but more storage space inside would be helpful

This is the best brand ever the backpack it's really comfy and the size it's perfect the color and the space inside my daughter love it she is so happy .

Purchased this backpack for my daughter who is in 8th grade ...the size is perfect for multiple binders and all her books..also the straps and back are well padded and comfortable..the colors are fun and up to date!!!!

I love this backpack! I have wanted a NorthFace backpack for such a long time. The straps are so comfortable and really take the pressure off of my shoulders. I also feel like my laptop is really protected. My only problem is that once my laptop is in the backpack, there really isn't a lot of room in the main compartment.

I was looking for a backpack for college that could hold everything I needed. This is a really cute, very well made backpack, but it only has 2 large openings (while most backpacks have 3)! I could only hold my laptop (15" macbook pro) with 2, 1" binders, and it was already looking full. I couldn't even imagine all the textbooks I would have to carry and my notebooks and my water bottle. It will be returned but I'm sure if you're looking for a smaller backpack this will do for you.

This backpack has a lot of space and compartments. I think the laptop storage will be so useful because I will have it with me everywhere I go. The colors are awesome and vibrant!! Totally recommend getting this backpack.

color was more vibrant than i imagined and it only makes me love it more. surprisingly stores a lot and is comfortable to carry. Looks good, feels good! can't wait to be at Oklahoma state this fall and carry it on campus. GO POKES GO GREEK GO NORTH FACE

I haven't used the backpack yet. I bought it for school. It has everything I need including laptop sleeve, water bottle holders and padded back support. The great thing about this backpack is that its lite and fit woman perfectly. The reason I gave it 4 stars is that it is on the small side compared to other backpacks.

When I first received the backpack, I was really excited. I loved everything about this bag; the color, the style, the quality........and then I tried to put my school supplies inside, and surprisingly only one binder and two notebooks fit inside the main compartment. This was really disappointing because the men's version of the Borealis is 29 Liters, while the women's version is only 25 Liters.

I love being to just throw some things in this bag and go. And no matter how many things it never feels heavy!

Love this backpack. It's super supportive and sturdy, works well for day hikes. I am also planning on using mine for university next year. The computer sleeve is super convenient and there is an insane amount of space for others items. When I was ordering it, I was a little worried about the pack feeling too big however now that I have used it, I feel it is a perfect size.

I Iove the vivid color backpack. Sturdy and no doubt will live the outdoors. Yet has a section for computer with added protection. Very happy.

Excited for pack to arrive. Love the color! Seems roomy. Gave it 4 stars since I have not hiked with it yet. I like the lady friendly straps.

very durable and i like it a lot could use more pockets though

This backpack is great for school. It is very comfortable and I love the specific women's fit. I can carry my laptop and books all day around campus without my shoulders hurting (which was the problem with my old backpack). I love the color and it matches the pictures online almost exactly.

It was time for a new backpack as I started college. I needed on that would allow me to carry everything and still be good on my back. I absolutely love this backpack. It fits my MacBook wonderfully. I also have two thick (Around 2-3in) books in there. Its a tight fit in that compartment, but its working for what I need. The front compartment works well, too. A lot of slots for organization, which is definitely needed for a nursing student. Really glad I decided on this bag.

Color is absolutely gorgeous, and I get compliments all the time. I only wish it were a little bigger. As a graduate student, all of my books (only 4) do not fit so I find myself still carrying books in my arms.

Apart from its good-quality materials, the only issue I have with this bag is its capacity. I'm a law school student. I'm looking for a backpack for commuting between home and school with a big capacity for my MBP 13", one 2" binder, and 2 more casebooks. I was considering the Jester (27L) and this one (25L) and decided to go for this one because its capacity was as same as my old Case Logic backpack. Also, the Jester might be too big for me. Unfortunately, this is not the one for me. Even though the depth of this bag is 7.5", the two compartments and the laptop slot are all sharing the same space. The laptop alone already takes almost 2", the remaining space is therefore not enough for class materials. So I decide to return this one and orders the Women's Jester instead.

I bought this backpack for eventually going back to graduate school. I'm taking a few classes this spring, and I was hoping this backpack would be good for going between work and school. Well. I like this backpack for it's comfort, the solid backing is nice to support heavy books but I can't hardly fit more than 1 textbook and my (5 year old) laptop. Maybe it will stretch out? It seems to me that the bungee cords on the front are a bit constricting for capacity in the front pocket. Looks great in all black though! I would recommend this to someone who does lots of hiking and needs a sturdy backpack, or students who tend not to carry a whole lot in their book bags!

As a high school student that has to carry many books throughout the day, I feel that this backpack does a pretty good job of providing the comfort that I wanted. My only complaint about the backpack is how snug the main compartment was. I was expecting it to be a little more roomy. In my main pocket a carry: a good sized textbook, 1 one inch binder, 3 single subject notebooks, an agenda, and a pencil pouch and everything barely fits. However I do enjoy the the second pocket with all of the organizational compartments, it makes it great for keeping all of my personal items organized and easy to find. I also LOVE the padded shoulder straps and backing because it makes it so comfortable to carry. Something else that I didn't realize until about 3 weeks into having the backpack was the whistle on one of the straps which I thought was neat. Overall I love the backpack and I recommend it if you are looking into a comfortable, well organized, and sturdy backpack that will last you years!

I love the backpack and the colors it is offered in. But if I have to spend $90+ I should be able to fit just about anything I need in there.... And I can't. It is incredibly comfortable making it worth it for me.
