Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I use this backpack for my commute to work and school and also for camping. I love the pockets that make it easier to organize my stuff. The shoulder straps are great and I love the safety whistle on the chest strap.

Perfect backpack for class!!!

The quality is amazing and it arrived here fast and safe. One of the standout features of North Face backpacks is their incredible durability. (I been buying the same backpack over and over again) Crafted from high-quality materials like ripstop nylon and polyester, they are built to withstand daily wear and tear, making them a great long-term investment. Many models are also water-resistant, keeping your gear dry in unpredictable weather conditions.

I love the backpack so much!! However, I've been using it now for a month and I have never put anything in the left water bottle sleeve and when I went to put my 16 oz water bottle (which is thin and small) I noticed that the sling broke. I'm not sure why but I thought it would be more durable considering it was the first time I was going to use it, it broke my heart. I use this backpack for law school and love it but now I am bummed that the durability of the slings aren't great for the price you're paying.

I used this bag for the first time yesterday and it was incredibly comfortable and ergonomic as a shorter person. The quality of materials seems great, and the design!

Fits everything I need in college

My daughter uses this bag for 6th grade. She LOVES it! As a parent, I'm on the fence. It is narrow and deep, meaning that you can get a lot of stuff in there, but you have to think strategically. The deep water bottle pocket is nice. Running shoes can fit if turned sideways and pushed to bottom. Her school is using a large 2.5 inch binder for organization and she cannot easily get that in and out. It *could* fit, snuggly, but to save the trouble since she uses it each class, she just carries it. Soooo, she carries her backpack for basics, then holds her binder and clarinet.

Great product. Timely fashion

My previous borealis that I purchased in 2014 must've been the men's version because this bag is VERY small. The front pockets don't hold very much, and the middle pocket is shaped in a way that sort of bulges at the bottom, but doesn't really unzip far enough to use all of that space at the top. The side pockets are also a little small for a water bottle over 20 oz. It's well made, though, and I expect it will last 10 years like my last one.

I love the water bottle pocket and the ability to fit so many things inside it.

The color of this backpack is exactly how it looks online. I love how spacious it is and all the pockets that it has.

Amazing quality and even better customer service

Greta size and stylish. I love the quality of the north face products.

I gifted this backpack to my granddaughter to use for her studies at college. She absolutely loves it. It is well designed, sturdy, a popular style and is meeting all of her needs.

Very nice backpack, however the smaller female profile makes it hard to fit computer, folders, and books for school.

Great color, great storage, high quality

Perfect for a 7th grade girl's backpack

My daughter love it

My daughter absolutely LOVES this backpack. Durable and spacious!

As soon as freshman year at high school I buy one for my grands they are built bro last stylish too they love them I have their names embroidered on each one

My freshman in high school loves her new backpack! It can carry so much and is very comfortable!

I bought this for high school and it's very tall and spacious. The bag is pretty and feels like the material would be good in rain. The organization pocket does look bulky if you fill it and sticks out into the main pocket a bit. I try to fill the awkward space at the bottom with snacks. It wouldn't be a problem for someone who doesn't use the organization as much.
