Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

this is my second Borealis backpack, and i keep buying them for a reason. incredibly durable yet still lightweight, gorgeous color, and so many different uses. tons of different pockets, plus the bungees and side pockets. literally no notes, this backpack cannot get any better.

I love my backpack! It's super cute, very sturdy, and just everything about it!. I would definitely buy another shade color again for my senior year of high school, for sure!

This backpack is perfectly sized for me, has just the right amount of compartments, and is just mazing.

This backpack was bought as a birthday gift for my granddaughter. She requested it. As an active middle schooler, she carries a ton of books. She also an active sportsperson, playing volleyball currently. And, like all girls her age, she's fashion conscious. She loves the color. Great purchase!

Incredible backpack. My 7th grader uses it for school and it has just the right amount of pockets and is very durable.

Love my new backpack! The White Metallic Melange/Mid Grey color is so nice. I'm glad NF upgraded the side pockets to fabric vs. the netting I had on my last backpack. The netting always tore and ultimately didn't work. Pocket could be a little larger to fit my larger water bottle. Overall, I am very happy with the product

Bought for my teenage daughter as a birthday gift. Perfect size for school use. Can easily pack her daily supplies and lunch inside. Very high quality materials and zipper.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL BAG!!!!! THE BABY PINK TONE IS SO NICE!!! I added my floral Hawaii hair clip on the front white/ cream strings and it looks even cuter! The arm straps are so good and it's a really good college backpack fits my hydro flask and Stanley cup! TOTALLY RECOMMEND SO CUTEEEEEE!

I love love love this backpack, it has been my favorite purchase ever so far, the color is beautiful and it stands out only downside is washing it , do not put it in the washing machine!!

Great backpack, very durable! I love the design, this is my second purchase of this backpack. Very classic and I love the black one too.

This backpack is well made and durable. My 4th grader uses it as her school bag and it's just big enough. It was the one she wanted so I got it for her but I would have preferred something a little larger.

I use it for school every day of the week and outside traveling when I'm not at school. I love the compartments on it. It is very durable and you can tell will actually last without becoming worn down quickly.

I use this backpack for my school, it's a great size and stylish.

Perfection at its best!

i got the borealis for academia. it was surprisingly stiff at first but after wearing it for a while, it feels more comfortable. it's light design makes it easier to carry laptops and books and the material feels durable.

So Far so good.

This bookbag is great for my graduate program, I have so many pockets storage compartments to put my iPad and laptop including chargers. The greatest buy I ever did!

My daughter loves it. Perfect fit.

good size, nice quality and really pretty color

This backpack is great! It is worth the price I spent on it. Several zippers and compartments, making it enough storage for a college backpack. The color is super cute, and I love using this backpack everyday. I definitely recommend because this backpack could be used for years. My favorite part is that I can fit my mackbook, binder, and notebooks all in it. I will be using it for traveling purposes as well.

This backpack is amazing. I had the older version and it lasted 5 years.

I love the backpack. I use it for school and it fits all my notebooks, laptop, and extras. It is very comfortable to wear and doesn't hurt my shoulders.

I love the color but the 3rd pocket from the back is just weird. It makes the backpack really top heavy. And the inside of it also kind of sucks. Inside is a big pocket, then on top a zipper pocket and a smaller pockets. I wish the big one had a zipper because when you open up the big compartment it is just stuck open and it's hard to get to the smaller pockets that are on the side of it. I hate using the third compartment and the small pockets for lip balms and etc bc everything is so hard to get to. I don't understand it. I also can't for a lunchbox in it. It is super inefficient and annoys me daily. Other than that I like how it looks in terms of color. If the jester in this color comes back into stock I will probably just get that.

Seriously! Why is it so small? Take it to school and all your stuff gets smushed together from lack of space. Takes you a million years to get anything out because it hardly fits in the first place!!!

I purchased the backpack for my daughter for school. It's very durable and very spacious with comfortable padding. My daughter absolutely loves it!
