Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

Product is exactly what I wanted

I was using another backpack for college, but I was having to carry around a binder, 2 books, computer, pencil case and 2 water bottles and it was just way too uncomfortable. I got this backpack and it totally changed everything. I can put so much stuff in it without feeling like my shoulders . are going to fall off and without it looking bulky at all. Also my hydro-flask fits perfectly into the side pockets which is a huge plus. I absolutely love it. I already convinced my roommates of getting one.

Wanted a backpack to use for carrying books and my laptop without feeling pain in my back. The load still is heavy but with this backpack I feel like it's focused closer to my center of mass, and that makes it much easier to walk around. I feel like I can walk straight with this bag and don't need to hunch over to offset the weight imbalance. Also being that it's specifically for women, the straps are much closer together so that the bag is again closer to the center of my body and not resting on my shoulders, and this makes a HUGE difference for me personally. Though I originally got the black & reflective details as a style choice, I now realize it's also great for safety, they make me much more visible to cars from behind (photo attached). The amount of space is decent. I personally wouldn't want anymore than it has because I don't want to carry around more weight. Material feels VERY durable and what I would expect from the price point. Looking forward to using it long term!

I used this backpack flying across country and as well as going hiking in the mountains. Very practical. Lots of pockets to carry just about anything

Love the quality and style

This backpack exceeded my expectations and continues to do so. I had an Eastsports backpack since 8th grade forming a hole and giving back pain. I kept being recommended this backpack by every classmate I asked. I caved and thankful I did. My 15 inch laptop fits in like a glove. All my books fit without hurting my back! It even fits my tall 24oz water bottle in the side-pockets perfectly. Only thing I would say negative about the backpack is I had to get it worn in as it came a bit stiff but now seems to have formed to my shoulders.

The backpack is really nice. I bought it for my daughter and she loves it.

Love this back pack! Got it for traveling, it has multiple pockets so great for packing can't wait to use it!

I was worried that this backpack would be too big for me because I'm 5'1" and under 115lb. Although it does look a little big on me, the size is necessary for its features and practicality. I've been using the backpack for work and school everyday and I'm able to comfortably carry everything I need (ipad, notebooks, lunch bag, sweater, wallet, etc). I just recently took it on a 7hr hike and I was able to fit a 2L CamelBak bladder, a water bottle, snacks, sweater, walking sticks, and several other necessary items. The different compartments really help me stay organized, and I love the side mesh pockets because I can my phone and keys there for easy access!

I use this backpack for school. I made a great choice of getting black color so it does not get dirty, the pattern is fun and the accent zippers in gold color give a nice touch to the design. I am able to fit my laptop, plus books, ipad and lunch box and still has room for more!

I use this product when I work 4 days a week to carry my laptop, clipboard and essentials. Looks and feels great. Highly recommend!

I have used this backpack to travel and for classes. Holds everything I need it to. My computer books and travel items fit securely and I never worry about items in bag. Looks great for career and personal use. Absolutely no cons

I purchased this backpack for my daughter starting college in September 2016. It was the perfect backpack with a stylish design, and held her Mac book inside with great protection from damage. It was extremely comfortable walking across Alabama's campus. Plenty of space for all her school stuff as well as a place to hold her water bottle and personal belongings. The BEST thing about this backpack is the EXCELLENCE IN QUALITY! Her back was stolen 3 weeks ago still looking brand new so I ordered her a new one to replace it! Can't find a better quality backpack for such a reasonable price!

Best customer service experience!!!

It's great. I have been loving it so far. Planning to get one for my boyfriend as he is impressed by it too.

REASON I BOUGHT IT: I normally use Herschel backpacks for their nice simplistic style and swag. However, they're not very comfy when carrying multiple notebooks and a laptop. I bought this backpack on a whim because my back was actually sore from packing up my Herschel too much. I was nervous that it would look bulky, but it really doesn't. THIS BAG IS A DREAM! FEATURES: -It has a lovely laptop compartment with amazing cushion. It has another pouch for more notebooks and textbooks. It has another pouch that's about half as deep for pens, my phone, lotion, hand sanitizer, and more. Then it has a smaller fleece-lined pouch in the front where I put my wallet, chapstick, and keys. -Next, we have the unbelievably comfortable cushioning in the back of the bag AND on the straps. There are TWO side pockets for water bottles that both have straps for a more secure fit. FIRST USE: I packed it up with my 15" MacBook Pro, 2 notebooks, a folder, a thick workbook, my little Nike Zip Up Hoodie and other accessories & I could not feel a single pound on my shoulders. It also did not look bulky, which is a PLUS. OVERALL COMMENTS: In conclusion, I hope you added this backpack to your cart because it will be worth every cent! I am a junior in college and I cannot believe I am just now experiencing the luxury of having this North Face backpack. IT REALLY IS WORTH THE PRICE TAG.

I love this backpack! It is roomy and I love all of the pockets!

I use the back for school, before this one I had a Jansport backpack and they are durable but it hurt my backpack a lot and this backpack does not hurt my back at all. But it is a little small but it is so light weight.

I love this product amazing quality. My back doesn't hurt like it did when I had heavy things in my other backpack. Very good for travel and school.

I use this backpack for school and it's amazing! Super lightweight and comfortable!
