Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I want the other design back. I don't like this design. Please bring it back.

It is July 13, 2018 and I just got on here to buy this backpack thinking it was the old design. But to my surprise they changed it. Yay... not really. This design sucks and is not cute at all also boring colors. Please bring old design back. Also I am trying to go to the Northface store this weekend in hopes that they still have the old design available. Wish me luck.

I was excited to try this backpack out. I've had it eight months and am now searching for a new backpack. There are quite a few things that have irritated me to retire this one early. For one, you cannot wash it, and folding it to fit in the washing machine isn't an option unless you want to permanently damage the stiff backing. It's also not as roomy as you would think, as the bungee on the front tends to constrict the backpack from expanding outward when using the larger front pocket. The backpack also does not stand on its own. I lean it against anything and it either slides down and lays on the backside or falls over on the front side. Additionally, a couple of weeks ago the drink pouch began to fall apart. I would not buy this product again.

My books were damaged from a light rain shower because this backpack is not water resistant as it claims to be. Not recommended.

Very disappointed in this backpack. Does not protect your books from rain. Now having to pay for water damaged books that were inside my zipped backpack. Never had this problem with JanSport. Expected more from North Face!

When I first saw this backpack online, I thought it was super cute, especially the color. I asked my parents to get it for me as a birthday present, and they did. I was really excited when I got it because the Borealis backpack is the bag that everyone at school uses. I took it to school the next day, and I don't understand how people use this for school, because it barely fits anything! I couldn't bring home everything that I wanted to, and I'm only in 8th grade. Imagine how much worse it would be for high schoolers! This product is a huge disappointment. The North Face products are usually very good, but this one needs to be improved drastically (especially for the expensive price). I will be returning this backpack tomorrow.

I just started high school 5 weeks ago and was hoping to use this backpack all 4 years. My backpack broke completely randomly. After class, I lifted my bag up and the strap snapped out of nowhere. This is supposed to be a high quality hiking backpack and it couldn't even hold up for 6 weeks with very little in the bag. I honestly wouldn't recommend this to anyone. My friends have $20 backpacks that I would consider higher quality than my broken $90 bag.

ok so there was a HUGE buzz abt nf bpacks @ my skol so i bought 1. theese are a peice of something that i cannot say (only cause i want to keep i g rated) but ya so i dont understand the whole buzz. but what ever ppl are a bunch of ....... anyway so ya! DONOT BUY

I ordered the Coastline Blue and Electro Coral Orange. I was so excited about this color combo. It looks so cute on the screen. When I looked at the backpack in white, I saw that the pink-coral shade on it was actually stated to be the same color as was on this coastline blue, so I decided it was the perfect touch of femininity without being too girly. I just got it and it is not even close to being pink or coral. It is a bright neon orange. The blue is actually much darker, too. The backpack is not attractive by any means and is far off from the picture. I'm returning it in the morning.

I got this backpack for school it can not fit many things it can only hold a few notebooks and a laptop. Dont even think about carrying binders wont fit.

I just bought it yesterday and I have not used it. stitching is already starting to fray :(. I used my savings to pay for it thinking it would be a good fit for school. Sadly it is already going downhill before I even used it.
