Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

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.

The bag has worked well for walking and biking to class. It holds everything I need when I go to campus including snacks or meals. I put a milkshake from a restaurant in the side slot and biked home and it stayed very secure. It keeps my laptop safe I'm very glad I made this purchase! I have had this for 6 months and it still looks brand new!

I ended up returning this backpack only because I was looking for something that would stand up easily while using it for work. I think it would've been a great bag for the trail.

Great backpack. Plenty of room for books and pockets for stuff. Very supportive and doesn't give me back pain.

This backpack is the best backpack I have ever had. I have used others similar in price, but none of them have worked this well. I have plenty of space for all of my belongings. Even on the days I need to pack extra. Despite being able to fit everything I need within the bag, it is still compact enough to not get in the way. The only thing I would say is that when placed on laminate floor, it commonly slides down instead of standing up.

Love my backpack for school. Only con would be the back board piece. Otherwise great!

I bought this for my daughter for high school. It has held up beautifully. It is super roomy too. She loves it!

It works for holding my computer, tablet, phone and all cords and cables for connections. Considering a second one or one for my son.

My daughter lives this bag

Love the color and how practical this backpack is! Definitely has held up and more than enough room! If you're thinking about it just get it!

I had my eye on this particular backpack for a few weeks. it is a new design and color that I loved. I went to several stores and could not find this particular one. I always prefer to see it in person before I buy. I ended up ordering it online and I was sooo happy I did. superior quality- especially with the zipper. LOVE the color -super cute with my outfits!

This backpack is super comfortable and I love how it looks

My teen daughter saw this in the store but bought it online because there were so many more color options. She likes the style of it and it has pockets that are sized right to separate her books and computer.

This backpack is nice and roomy. It has plenty of spots to put all my school stuff. Chromebook, folders, pens/pencils, lunch, etc. There is also room for accessories needed for after school activities! Pom pons, sideline shoes, and uniform. I could go on and on about this fantastic bag!

I use this to carry my laptop daily and a bunch of things to school being a teacher. It's nice! It does have lots of space. Only thing is it doesn't like to stand up straight. It likes to lay down

I work this for office, I find it quite practical & fashionable. Great value for the money.

My daughter uses it for school and is very happy with it.

I really like the backpack.

This is an awesome backpack. The color purple is perfect!
