Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I liked it but I thought it was too small. They are comfortable but I can't put a lot of stuff in the little pocket and then put something in the bigger one. I like the Jester one bettee.

Gave it to my daughter for school. She loves it!

It's is so cool and lightweight I just wish If they sold out for them to restock on the virtual blue/indigo plum borealis

I have this as a backpack and I love it. I am still in high school and I honestly couldn't want a better bag. In my opinion it is a little small for all the stuff I had but not too bad. I love the look of it, the skinny cute bag is so nice and i love the light blue on gray. The side pockets are a bit small for all water bottles but most of the time i don't have a hard time pushing my bottles in. The wire on the side though makes it hard sometimes but u just have to make sure you press down and not out.

I was looking for a backpack that would be big enough to replace a carry on bag, but small enough to carry daily while out exploring when traveling. This is the perfect size. The storage pockets and divided interior makes it easy to stay organized when on the go. I am incredibly happy with this purchase.

it's rlly great for everything; short trips, university, work; it fits everything you need, i'd 100% recommend this one

I wound up returning this item for 2 reasons. 1- the bag did not have enough volume for all of the this college textbooks I need to fit. I am taking a class with several incredibly heavy books. It should be fine for a normal day bag, good for a K-12 student, but not if you have to carry more that a couple medium size books. 2- the padding in the straps was barely there. 12+ ago i had a backpack from this company that was incredible. It had a silicone grid style padding and the straps were all very supportive and it lasted a long time, until it was stolen from my car. The quality appears to not be the same. I will say that this bag was super cute and the hydration pocket was perfect for my laptop. The backing had a decently ergonomic structure, and the waist and chest straps were nice. It's an ok bag, but not if you need to carry excessive weight or have any shoulder pain issues because the shoulder straps are so poorly padded. I wish I would have gone to a store in person to look at it more closely before I purchased it.

This will be my carry-on suitcase for upcoming trip to Croatia this May 2025. My niece and brother have this and I wanted one. It has the straps to hook up in front of u so that it will not slide off while walking all day. I also like all the different compartments. Very well made. I got the grey instead of the black color as it was on sale this Feb. 2025. I will wash it and take care of it. thank you.

Love this gorgeous and beautifully designed back pack. Big enough for an overnight stay or a shopping trip.

I had a Borealis Backpack years ago, and I absolutely loved it! Eventually it was time to get a new backpack, and I saw this one. I liked it at first, then I noticed I felt pain on my left side whenever I use this backpack. The more I use it, the less I enjoy this version. I can't fit my laptop case inside the laptop pocket is another issue that bothers me. I like to use my case as a holder for my laptop.

Best bag for school

Nice!

Nice backpack, really cute and comfortable!

I enjoy the backpack, it fits well and is big enough for everything I need. The backpack came with a pen and pencil bag so it had been used even though it wasn't in the description.

Fits great very comfortable. Well put together and durable.

I wanted a backpack for traveling on cross country flights with my kids. The reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because it's built strangely top-heavy, in a way that made it difficult to utilize and access the largest compartment pocket, particularly the bottom half. Pics demonstrate profile of bag at airport, with top part being wider than bottom. This was true even without much of anything in the top. I would have returned it if I had noticed this before using it.

It's the best product

Good fit, lots of space but gets top heavy

Not worth the money!! It doesn't fit anything (even with the bottom expanded), but that's not the worse of it. It's horribly top heavy. I'm so disgusted with it. I used it on a weekend trip and I was ready to throw it away.

Very good quality

Cute backpack! It doesn't tend to fit ALOT if you tried to use to store clothes in it but it has great back support.

Used this for a weeklong drive around Ireland in February! It held all of my essentials (as the list of essentials grew during my journey) and kept everything safe and dry. LOVE it

This bag is perfect for carrying everything I need for the hospital and doesn't feel heavy at all.

Purchased this for my daughter as a new school backpack. It's insane how much 'stuff' kids are asked to bring to and from school...especially at such young ages. Regardless, this backpack is compact, but fits her needs nicely, and doesn't strain her back as much as her previous (Jansport) backpack. She is pleased with this product, so I am pleased with this product.

Fits a ton of things perfectly and doesn't get too heavy. Great for school and travelling and it's very sturdy. Lots of compartments and whatnot and you can attach things to it. Would recommend this for anyone who needs an everyday bag.
