Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Product is exactly what I wanted

Ordering and shipment easy. I know Northface stands behind their product! This is why I choose to do business with them.

The North Face backpack is very trendy in schools. Overall it's a great backpack with durability for kids using it a lot to and from classes and sports.

Love the quality and style

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

i use it to hold all my school supplies and it fits everything comfortably ex. textbooks notebooks and pencils

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 use this product for school and travel. Very roomy, comfortable and love the design!

Look north face and especially the staff at the 5 ave location in NY

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.

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!

Kids today carry very heavy backpacks full of books to school. Plus, when they get to college they carry laptops. Over the years I have been through many brands of backpacks for my kids. Often they only last one school year. I bought my daughter a Borealis backpack from North Face when she was a high school freshman, and now we are replacing it 7 years later as a college senior. She made the mistake of trying to wash it at college and it got ripped in the industrial washing machine. I expect this second pack will last into her career as a school teacher. One feature she likes is the many storage compartments. Another is the padded straps that make it easier to carry the weight. Finally, it comes in a rainbow of colors, including her favorite teal.

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 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

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

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!

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 really long school days and have to take a lot of things to campus. This bag fits everything I need and more! I love putting a sweatshirt in the bungee chords on the front and using the side straps to attach my lunchbox to my bag. I love how organized I can keep things and how protected my laptop is in its own pocket!

Overall I think the product is great. I'm using this bag for school. My only problem is that the book bag is a little small. I can fit about 3 2inch binders in there before the book bag is at its limit

I previously had the Jester that North Face had circa August 2013. I loved it. It had perfect pockets and small, unique storage areas. It was also very comfortable and lightweight. 6 years later, I figured it was time for a new backpack. I got the Borealis because it had more pockets than the Jester and I do love the color of it and how it looks. However, I miss the pockets my old Jester had! The front pocket went all the way to the bottom and the zipper was huge. I just feel like it fit all of my school stuff better. I've also noticed my backpack is a little top heavy now because of how my stuff sits in it. It's like I don't have enough at the bottom of the big pocket and the top pocket puffs out. Just some adjustments I have to make, I'm still happy with my purchase. I will forever buy North Face backpacks, they are so comfortable and look great :)

This is the best backpack I've ever owned. Its comfortable, has a place for all my school supplies, and I think I'll be using it even after I've finished college. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it doesn't hold as many books as I want it to. I can usually fit my computer, two binders, a notebook, and one textbook in there, along with pens and stuff. Theres just days where I need to carry more than that, so I end up carrying a book or two in my arms. Not disappointed at all though!

The product it self is very comfortable and roomy for school books

Bought this backpack for my 12yr old daughter. She uses it everyday for school, and always packs a hydro-flask. Holes wore in the water bottle pockets in first 20 days of use. The material NorthFace uses for the water bottle pockets is thin and non-durable. Many water bottles these days are metal and quickly wear through the thin material. My daughter said once holes appeared in her pockets, she started to observe the NorthFace backpacks her friends have and noticed many of them all have holes in the same place on the water bottle pockets. It's a flawed design.

I purchased that backpack at the end of August because a lot of people suggested it to me. I am in Med School and I needed a backpack that could carry my heavy books. I was excited when I received Borealis Backpack. I expected the backpack to have more room, it did not. The compartment that holds the laptop is great! I have not had any problems with my laptop. The only issue I am having is that I now have a hole at the top of my backpack. Its right by the laptop compartment. I am not sure if it's because I carry heavy books or something. Can someone please help me? Has this happened to any of you all?

Best customer service experience!!!
