Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Wonderful backpack, great for travel, lots of pockets. Durable and stylish!

I'm a nurse, and needed a durable bag to schlep my gear from one job to the next. This bag fits everything I need, plus extra stuff for "just in case". It has big pockets for larger items, obvs, and two smaller pockets for name badges, pens, keys, chargers, etc, so they're easy to find instead of lost forever in a large pocket. I can clip stuff to it, hang stuff off it. Plus it holds my water and coffee on the sides. 10/10 would buy again.

Great lightweight pack for school and work.

I use this for school and it has so much room it's so great for all my books and computer. love this backpack so much, would definitely buy again for a gift for someone!!

Works great for school

l like it.

I use it for school and I often find that there isn't enough room for all my books and my lunch etc. but it fits very comfortably and is very durable

....but also comfortable enough to take on a hike or short outdoor adventure. This pack is roomy and has all the features to keep your things organized. There are a lot of different pockets, making packing easy. It isn't the most lightweight pack you could possibly buy.... but for me, the comfort and ease of keeping all my things organized is worth it.

Just a great backpack overall Plenty of room and nice colors to choose from

Love this backpack! I have it in all black and it literally takes all weight off your shoulders and helps your posture! I also love the colors on this one!

used to fly to Colorado and was able to pack all I needed

This backpack makes carrying a million things 100x easier. Coming from a student, this is one of the best backpacks ever

I use this backpack when I go hiking or camping. It is very versatile and it can carry my water bottle, food and outerwear easily. The quality of the backpack is unmatched and I am planning to buy another one for longer hiking trips!

I love the bag! I had one that I used through high school and to go hiking. I got a new one because the side mesh ripped but I love all the space the bag has.

I love the material of the backpack, super durable and much more water resistant than the previous one I had, a jester. Lots of storage. Overall great purchase.

I love this backpack! I use it for school and travel, and it is the perfect size.

Perfect size for this college student. Has pockets for organizing pens and gadgets, but isn't big and bulky. Comfortable to wear

My daughter loves this bag. She usually wears out a backpack within a few months but this one is more durable. The look is classy and it stays clean for a white bag! Definitely recommend and will buy another if this one wears out!

I bought this for my high school daughter in August. I paid almost $100. The strap detached from the backpack in January 5 months later) making it unusable. I called customer service, was transferred to the warranty department and was told if I didn't live near a Northface store, I would need to mail the backpack in and they would look at it to see if they could do anything. Very disappointing for the amount of money I paid. Expected it to at least last the school year.

I use this for school and transporting my laptop, computer, and notebooks. Great space and multiple pockets for organizing.

Don't hesitate to purchase this- very stylish and durable backpack with plenty of room, can accommodate several large heavy books and notebooks as well as iPad/laptop, water bottle and hoodie- plenty of compartments of various sizes. Purchased a a gift for middle schooler carries everything with all day. I was doubtful at first but this has proven to be a quality product thus far.

I originally purchased the backpack to use for hiking trips, but due to Covid I have not been able to use it for such; instead I have been using it for school and I absolutely love it. The backpack is extremely comfortable and very stylish I get a lot of compliments.

Use it for school everyday. Haul my computer and notebooks. Seems durable so far.

My first north face backpack! Wanted to see how good the hype was and it is very nice but I did not like how stiff the last pocket was that made it not able to stand properly

This is well made, has a great zipper, and plenty of room. My 2nd grade daughter uses this for school, but also for short hikes. You can feel the quality.
