Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I purchased this backpack about three weeks ago and have been using it for two weeks. I'm already very happy with this purchase. It was a bit pricey, but it was definitely worth it. The zippers are tough and sturdy, so I don't have to worry about breaking them by over-stuffing the bag. In addition, the midsection strap really made a difference when I was schlepping my laptop, notebooks, and textbooks across campus. It was quite a relief to my shoulders. The backpack is also roomy enough to use as an overnight bag. I'll be using it as an airplane carry-on from now on, since it's more comfortable and convenient than any of the tote bags I've used before. I can already tell I'll get a lot of use out of this bag. After seeing my Borealis and hearing how much I like it, my boyfriend bought the men's version online. Hopefully he'll love it as much as I do! I would recommend this bag to anyone; it's the most versatile, comfortable backpack I've ever had.

I really enjoy shopping at Zappos online! Great prices and it only takes 3-4 days for shipping so it's a great convenience! This bookbag is really great and roomy. It's a great way to keep organized! I would recommend it to anyone!

Hands down, the best backpack I have ever owned. It fits everything that I need for school. I wear this backpack practically all day when I'm walking around campus and my back and shoulders never hurt! Definitely got what I paid for. Highly recommend for those in college that walk around a lot.

Great backpack! Actual color is just a bit darker, but it is an overall great product! College is going great with it.

I am a college student so I need a school bag that is going to fit my needs. It is spacious, comfortable, has plenty storage, and is stylish. I love it!

I just began using this backpack yesterday. My travel involves approximately 41 hours of straight through traveling (five airplanes, and one helicopter through international areas). There aren't always easy ways to exit the plane and get to your next area, so having a backpack, rather than a rolling bag is a great advantage. I've tried other backpacks and this is absolutely the most comfortable bag ever! It makes a great deal of sense to scale the pack to a typical woman's size rather than a one size fits all. I have this filled up completely AND have things under the straps and hanging and I can still wear it comfortably (and get to my next passport area before everyone else because I'm not dragging or carrying anything to slow me down).

On the website the color looks pink but in person it is actually a maroon red color.
