Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Great backpack for traveling and as a laptop bag for work, Very comfortable!

Useful as a student

The back pack is one of the most durable and well built ones on the market. I have had several differnt ones and North Face is unequaled in value.

I use this product daily in college.

I'm a college student and lived for 22 years without owning a backpack. Truth be told, I despise backpacks. I found them bulky, the straps always cut into my shoulders, I was 100% convinced I would forever be a purse gal. Until my textbooks simply got too heavy and I reluctantly had to order a backpack. Best decision ever. This backpack is so cute, I feel like it looks so proportional to me (I have a pretty light frame) and my back has never been happier. The other day, I had it on while sitting in the dining hall and legitimately took a 5-minute nap on my chair with it because I forgot I even had it on! It has so many little pockets and so much room, I can fit everything in there I need for a whole day in college (snacks, books, laptop, gym clothes). It feels so durable and has kept all my things dry and safe in the icy northeastern winter. Absolutely in love with this backpack.

Great backpack! I'm giving it a full 5 star review because of the awesome features provided, including the separate laptop compartment, the use of durable and reliable fabrics and hardware. However, I really do wish the admin (organizer) pocket was as deep as the rest of the backpack, because I loved to put lots of everyday stuff in my old Jester, like deodorant, tissues, moisturizer, etc., but this pocket just isn't as useful because of the depth reduction. I would also love to see additional organization pockets in that pocket. Finally, I would love to see the inclusion of more reflective patches on the top of the Recon! As a student and a relatively experienced traveler, I would love to see the implementation of reflective fabric on the handle itself to make it easier to find among dozens of other bags in dim lighting with a flashlight! Overall, The North Face makes a great backpack, this backpack does not disappoint, and I would (and probably will) most certainly buy it again in the future.

I use it daily in school and I love how it don't bend it sturdy which I wanted in a bag. I love it!!!!

It looks clean and minimalistic. It does not look big and bulky, but you can fit sooo much stuff

Besides some minor issues, the over all product was worth the wait! I'm definitely shopping more with NorthFace.

I use this backpack for school and it holds everything together perfectly. It is comfortable and it has pockets for all my school necessities.

I got this for college and it is perfect for my needs. There is a pocket for everything, and the quality is great. Love the color as well.

this backpack is soooo beautiful!!!! didnt think it would be this beautiful, it is even prettier in person, if this catches your eyes online then in person you will be in love, colors go great together!! i'm in love.

I opted for the cheaper backpack 6 months ago, and I ended up buying this backpack now. Loving this backpack, regret of bought the cheaper one.

I LOVE everything about this backpack!!

Great backpack for college. Enough space for textbooks, spirals, a laptop, pens, and much much more.

I got this product cause I just started college and needed room for all the books and laptop. Very room and nice to look at. Very happy.

I use this backpack in college. It is very durable and can carry all my textbooks, notebooks, and laptop. It is also very stylish!! Love this backpack.

Great for school use.

This backpack is amazing! Been on a hunt for a spacious backpack with back support & I finally found it. Im a current student & have many school supplies to carry including my laptop. I suffer from back issues and having to carry many objects takes a toll on my back but thanks to this backpack my back is amazingly supported & even though I'm carrying the same amount of stuff I did previously in my Jansport backpack, I can totally feel the difference! It's super cute, stylish and sturdy! Highly recommend it! Totally worth the investment.

Both of my high school daughters use this backpack. It is durable & large enough to hold a lot of textbooks and binders.

My High Schooler uses this backpack for school. She carries way too many books plus a laptop and everything fits nicely. Bag has held up well.

Use for school

Bought for my daughter in college. Had same bag for over 10 years! Great bag!

This backpack is everything I need and more. It exceeds my standards and will last me years! I could never buy another backpack.

Awesome love them!!
