Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Very durable and roomy!

Overall a great backpack to have, very roomy and of course as expected, great quality! The mesh pockets on the side are very roomy, I can easily fit my 40oz hydroflask:)

Needed something lightweight and durable for Woking in a warehouse setting,and for weekends out of town this provides both. I would highly recommend this backpack.

Love this so much!! It is durable and very comfortable! Very lightweight for school and hiking!! Definetly recommend to a friend although they already have one!! Definetly will be buying it again in the future!

Have used more than 15 years. only now, one zipper has worn out. repeatedly stuffed to gills. I have used water proof spray on it with no problem and good results. the plastic covering is beginning to shred a bit. the only issue I have with it is the tie strings on the back are too skinny. always getting knotted up in wet or cold weather ( I live in Alaska) also would like the mesh pockets deeper to better hold water bottle and bear spray.

Love northface

I love this!! I bought it for school and is amazingggg! It's very room and fits all my stuff and even a thick jacket with it!

This backpack kept my notebooks and laptop safe and dry in an actual hurricane. The outside got a little wet, but no water seeped into the backpack. I got caught in a hurricane with my books and laptop for school and I got nervous that my backpack wouldn't hold up. I was way wrong. This backpack withstood a downpour that left almost two inches of water on the ground. 10000/10

My girlfriend loved the bag!!

I love it. The color is beautiful. The computer pocket is great for school.

use for school great size looks pretty

Quality is amazing! I use it primarily for college and it has become SO useful and comfortable walking around campus. My spouse is a BIG outdoors guy and this pack is so easy to use during hikes and very convenient with all of the room. Also, 10% student discount was appreciated

I have used this backpack for the majority of high school and all of college. I've never had an issue fitting everything I need for classes along with personal items such as my lunch and clothes for the gym or other things. I've taken this backpack on many trips including an entire summer I was abroad. It was perfect for traveling. It fit all I need for a decent carryon and felt secure on me as I was walking around places. Recently, it has started to show quite a bit of wear and tear which has begun to bother me. I sent it in to TNF warranty and return center and they ended up sending me a brand new one without extra charge!!! I am incredibly happy with this backpack and will continue to stay loyal to it and the north face for years and years to come! I highly recommend this purchase.

I use mine for college. I bought it the summer before my junior year of high school and now I use it in college! It still looks brand new like I bought it yesterday. I love it.

i used this book sack for school and it changed the game. the front pocket is perfect to hold everything to get me through the day. the very very front pocket is even lined for things like sunglasses and phones so they won't get scratched. i live ok louisiana and it rains here a lot. i cant tell you how many times i've had to run through the rain and the outside was wet but nothing inside was touched. this is overall one of my best purchases.

My daughter used this backpack all through high school and it held up great. She loved the room, and how it felt. She could have continued using this same bag into college but wanted to change things up with the color. We will keep the old one for travel and day trips.

I bought the backpack for going to school on my bike and it perfectly works. The weight distributes perfectly and this design makes it feel weightless.

I'm in middle school and it's perfect it fit all fo my books, binders, and anything else I need.

This backpack is very good quality, comfortable and comes in a variety of awesome colors. I purchased this backpack last year to use as a college freshman. I found that I had wanted just a little more room to carry books, notebooks, etc. However, if you are someone who tends to have most of your books digital, or you don't carry them around campus - this might be perfect for you! Overall I like this backpack and I was able to fit everything I needed - it was just a little tight!

Love this product! I use it everyday for school and I have tried so many book bags that are comfortable but this is the only one I will use! I would recommend this to everyone. Go get it before the one that you like goes out of stock.

Lots of handy pockets for all sorts of stuff. Mesh pockets on the outside are deep enough so water bottles don't flip out. I can pack it with stuff and still have room for extra jacket etc, cuz I get cold... My kids have used theirs for 3 years of hs, crammed with heavy books and laptops. All their friends too. They are super durable! They wash up too in hand wash setting in the machine.

Great Backpack that will last a long time. It is a pretty versatile backpack and can be used to for multiple purposes, i.e. school, work, and travel.

This bag is so worth the price! I bought the bag mainly for traveling but I use it literally for everyday use. I love how the back of the bag is padded. When traveling, I usually carry my camera, laptop, extra batteries, and other equipment with me. So, having a padded and supported back makes it easier and more comfortable for me to carry my heavy bag filled with equipment.

I absolutely love this backpack!! There is an incredible amount of room for storage, and it also has a high durability. I bought it to use for my hiking trips, which as an added bonus, the backpack has 2 mesh water bottle holders! It also has a spacious laptop component in the back. Definitely worth the purchase for whatever you need.

I use my last north face back pack for 8 years before purchasing this one. They last a very long time and I use my backpack everyday for school, work, and traveling! It is super durable and very fitting on my back. I love the design of the backpack and the style. Especially if you really got a lot to carry around like me. I usually have 2 large binders and multiple notebooks and folders inside with my laptop. It does look bulky and big like the other backpacks I've seen. Also the empty backpack itself isn't as heavy as others.
