Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

This is a must buy! I've been debating on buying it for awhile because of the price but i'm glad I did it!

Nice design and confidence in the brand TNF.

I saw this at the bookstore and wanted it so bad! It's the best design for holding my laptop, books and all the medical supplies and snacks I have to carry to take care of my diabetes. It's part of my Life Support System!

Use it as a backpack for school.

I use the backpack for school and it is roomy enough for all my notebooks, books & lunch but is also very comfortable. My back doesn't hurt anymore! It is a huge improvement over my old pack.

I use this pack for commuting to school and carrying all my books and computer. It is very durable and comfortable. It is much better than the off brand backpacks that are available out there.

I use this backpack everyday for college. Fits all of my books and laptop great. Love all of the pockets and features. Definitely the best backpack I've owned from North Face

love the vintage design

None

The is perfect for holding my laptop and camera gear while navigating the airport. Works great out in the field shooting photos. The bright color makes it easy to see and all the pockets hold all of my things easily. Fits comfortably too on my 5'2 frame.

I use this for daily life. The backpack has great sections to keep me organized. Love the quality & the comfort!

Commuting to college.

Very well.

Love it! I use this bag as a daypack for traveling or light hiking, not for work or school. Easily holds my camera, water bottle, rain jacket & pants, and whatever other things I'm carrying that day. Front compartment has some organizational features, and inside the main pocket is a laptop/tablet sleeve. I like that the back of the pack is a bit more rigid (not just material) and has grooved pads to help hold the pack off your pack and expel heat. Comfortable straps. I also find the external bungees helpful when I need quick access to rain jacket. The external water bottle holders don't do so well with my 20 oz. insulated metal bottle but I think that's because the bottle is a little heavier. Does fine with smaller bottles or hard plastic ones.

I'm taking this on a 4-week backpacking trip around the middle east, it is definitely the perfect day backpack to bring. It has two zippers for each zip which allows you to lock your backpack so no one can pickpocket you. This backpack is light, durable, and also beautiful. I love the purple color.

I absolutely love this backpack! I mostly use this product for school, since my previous backpack has worn out. Incredibly spacious and practical! Terrific for school and traveling!

I bought this for my daughter for school and she absolutely loves it. It seems very durable and holds all of her stuff.

My favorite thing about this model is the simplicity. It's has a good number of compartments/pockets, but not so many that I lose things in them.

My daughter loves it! Very sturdy and roomy. Comfortable too

I use this backpack for two full size MacBooks, several notebooks, books, and supplies. Everything fits really well, and there's room leftover to spare for personal items.

Beautiful and sturdy backpack with a lot of fashionable options for book bag. HOWEVER, it is a little on the heavy side (for my teenage daughter), not a big deal. But the deal breaker for us is that it doesn't sit flat on the ground when she's filling or getting into it. Sadly, back it goes.

At first, I wasn't so sure about this backpack. It seemed extremely stiff, as though there was cardboard behind each compartment. I also thought the buckles were very annoying and that the compartments weren't as roomy as I expected. However, after breaking this backpack in, I have slowly come to love it. The stiffness of the back compartment somehow makes it extremely easy to carry on the back, no matter how much or little is in the backpack - I never feel pulled down. The buckles aren't things that I have a use for, but I realized that they don't look that bad just hanging down. The compartments actually are very roomy, more than you might think from just looking. The best part of this backpack is how stylish and trendy it is. Since I wear or have a backpack with me for nearly 8 hours of the day, it is vital to me that my backpack looks appealing. This backpack definitely reaches that mark!

I got this backpack for high school and I couldn't have picked a better choice. The black color is so nice because it doesn't look dirty at all. Two very deep side pockets that hold water bottles perfectly. The straps are very supportive and have a waist and hip strap to take the weight off of your shoulders, which was especially helpful for me when I took this backpack on my school hiking trip where I was carrying heavy supplies for miles. The computer hammock sling is so protective of my computer, which was a very important quality for me. One big pocket, a slimmer one with great organization, and a small one in the front for my phone. I have wondered what people actually use the elastic on the front of the backpack for? 20/10 would recommend for students.

Wish the backpack had one or two more zippered storage pockets. The main storage compartments are deep and roomy enough for school supplies, computer, folders and notebooks. There isn't enough room though for two or more textbooks. The backpack can handle the weight if I did need to pack the books. Overall, very happy. The zippers on my last backpack broke and this product was recommended. Zippers on this product are very sturdy.

I use this backpack everyday for school and it is so comfortable. I love that there was a wide selection of colors to pick from and that it is a women's style backpack. I have only ever bought North Face backpacks before and this is by far my favorite style that they make.
