Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I bought this backpack with the main intent to use it for school, but I also have three boys so we when go for all day outings this packs everything we need!!! The laptop compartment has a lot more support and protection than I thought it would!!!! I am 100% please with my chose of backpack

I love this backpack! I did just get it so the back is a little bit stiff, but I know that it will wear down over time & become more comfy! I can tell that this is going to last me a while!

This backpack is great for professional school. It's study enough to carry casebooks, laptop, and to keep school supplies organized. The practicality it serves is super convenient to avoid unwanted and unnecessary stress from other backpacks!

I will use the backpack for school.

Very nice backback however it can not stand up.

I love the amount of space in the backpack and North Face products have always lasted me years!

I really like the color and comfort that it provides, I am very excited to start using this backpack

I use this product for work. I have a lot of supplies that I bring in and it if hospitals that can be very heavy. My arms used to go numb with my old bag, not any more. I bought another one so I can devote it to travel.

I use this backpack for college and it feels like I'm not carrying much. It is very comfortable and the padding in the back is awesome. It has plenty of room!

I use my backpack for school. It fits all my books, laptop, and small personal items as well! Great size and easy to carry!

I use this backpack for school. Needs to be durable as I carry a lot of stuff!

I use this backpack for school.. the string is more of a purple color.. still a cute color. I use to have another version of this backpack and they did change it up a bit but still very spacious.

Love this backpack! The dedicated tablet/computer section against the back is perfect, and I love how roomy the main section is. Defo can fit a lot of items in here! I also appreciated that it's certified by the American Chiropractic Association.

I bought this for my daughter for college. She absolutely loves it. It's in her favorite color and holds her laptop and books as well as having the side pockets for her drink and misc items. It's durable and comfortable on her back...

Use it for college. Works great and is very roomy and lightweight.

Mostly as a carry on while traveling, but also as a day pack for short hikes

I use my book bag for work! It has enough room to put all my things in it.

Great for school and travel. Fits great. Love dual water bottle pouches.

I had the older version of the Borealis and I thought it was a good time to upgrade. Purchased this new and updated version and I absolutely love it. Sleek, comfortable, universal use, stylish, and comes in different colors. It's safe to put my MacBook Pro in which was important to me. Given my class assignments, etc. will be placed in there for nursing school, I made sure it had all the pockets for my things. I'm also a commuter student. My only complaint would be: structure that doesn't allow it to stand up against something on its own. You have to REALLY stuff the backpack with things & if you have too much in the small front compartment versus the larger one... it falls forward because of the structure. Something I'm still having a hard time adjusting to since August 2019.

I use my backpack for school and for the office. It fits all my books and my computer. It has a place for all my things sunglasses, charger, pens etc.

I use the backpack as a working professional who brings her lunch to work. It's got a good numer of pockets (but I could always use more pockets). I don't carry a laptop or tablet with me, so the backpack is simple enough for my needs.

I wanted to love this backpack but as soon as I put it on I knew I would return it. The straps are extremely rigid and they are too narrow so it feels like the backpack is trying to kill my back when I wear it. I bought this for traveling but can't imagine standing around with heavy contents in this for more than 5 minutes. I love the look and all the compartments, especially the laptop section, but comfort is important in a backpack so this did not work for me.

Already had one backpack of this design and size and loved it so ordered one more.

Just the type of backpack I was looking for! I was in need of a new backpack, as I use one all the time for weekend getaways, travel, bringing a change of workout clothes to work, etc. I use one as a bag for many needs. This one fit what I wanted it for! It also looks very nice.

I use this bag for school and carry tons of textbooks. It feels as if there is nothing in my bag because of all the support the bag gives!
