Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Great for organizing work and school books

Love this item

Great backpack for college?

This is perfect size for my high school children. There are enough spaces for all books and even luck. It's very comfortable for your shoulders and very durable. I bought it first for my son 3 years ago and today still looks perfect. I really recommend this back pack for any usage.

I use this backpack all the time. It's great for my work and also for trips. It can hold a large amount of items and is very supportive. Highly recommend if you're looking for a backpack that will last.

I bought this backpack for each of my twin daughters for college. Both are in snowy areas and needed something spacious, comfortable, and able to handle the weather. These backpacks have proven to be the best investment yet for them!

Nice but does not stand up

Great backpack for school use! It's very durable and comfortable to wear. You can tell that the product is well made. This will be a backpack that we can use for several years!

My daughter loves this for College.

Love the design. Holds up well with washing. Looks Great! Comfortable. Was a gift for our daughter for college.

I use this backpack when I travel. It has been awesome. Love the different compartments. Makes it easier when packing...I know exactly where to look

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:)

It seems like a perfect bag. It's large. Stylish. Good design. But using it further, it doesn't stand on its own which is awkward. It has a weird shape. It doesn't have as much space as it seems. When the middle compartment becomes full, it takes up space in the main compartment and you can't put much in it. I can fit maybe one textbook in there. Not good for fitting a bunch of stuff. And it has been bad for traveling. It looses shape and becomes very stiff the more stuff you try to put in (even if it's not a lot). In a way, I guess it's good for a small amount of stuff but not anything longer than a day or a night.

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.

the mesh pockets have HUGE holes, and it doesn't stand on its on which is pretty inconvenient.

I love the look but the shape of the backpack makes it so it doesn't not stand on it's own. Not worth the price

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!

This backpack is used for school and travel. It is good to hold electronics but the water bottle holders don't hold up well.

I love the design, but not only does it not stand on it's own, but it's hard to pack because it will slide out from under itself. You have to pack it flat.

After less than 20 uses the strap is breaking. The material has split. TNF will not issue a refund because the bag was bought >60 days ago. The warranty repair takes 3-6 weeks. Need a backpack for school so will need to buy a replacement. Poor quality and service from TNF.

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.

Its so pretty and i really wanted to love it but... the straps are way uncomfortable, and hurt my shoulders. The padding on the back sucks because it bends if i try to prop the backpack up against something so its not on the floor, because it doesnt stand on its own! The smaller pockets are weird and also keep it from standing on its own or even being proped against something. I own an old northface backpack and just thought its fine to get a new one but I honestly regret this purchase.

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!
