Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

Was looking for a weatherproof and sturdy backpack for two high school children. This backpack has lasted for years

I use this product every single day, and absolutely love the colors. I especially love the water bottle pocket because on all my other bags my water bottle falls out but on this one it fits every single water bottle I own. I also love how organized it is.

For school

Daughter uses this backpack for high school! Best backpack on the market hands down and she loves it!!

I bought this for my daughter who is now a sophomore and needs enough room for books as well as the comfort in her shoulders. We bought a Vera Bradley last year and the first day it did not hold up w her books . This bag seems to be doing great so far and she loves it .

After reading too many reviews on backpacks I decided on this one. I love this backpack. It has all of the compartments I've been looking for! ie ... side pocket for my water bottle (which my last backpack failed to have!) and room for everything else. It feels sturdy, it's cute and comfortable. I think I'll be able to fit everything I need in it!

I got this for my 12 year old daughter to use for school. She loved it! I was very pleased with the quality.

I use this backpack for school and it's made life so much easier! I can fit my computer, all my books, and clothes if I need to. There is so much space! It lasts a long time too because I've had the same backpack for years and just got a new one out of desire not necessity. Highly recommend!

Exactly what I expected

Great quality, have had north face backpacks for years! Very pleased with this purchase!

My daughter really likes this bag. It is exactly what she is wanting for school and she really likes all the space and pockets.

I'm a nursing student with tons of thick textbooks (I have about 8 this semester) and medical supplies (BP cuff, stethoscope, penlights, etc.) that I have to bring daily to class. Plus the regular school stuff like binders, notebooks, pens, etc. I was looking for a backpack that would be able to fit a lot of stuff but also have enough back support. This backpack IS IT. I am so pleased with the quality and room in this backpack. I am able to fit everything I need for the day, and the back support is like nothing I've seen on any other backpacks. You do have to break it in, but it's worth it. I appreciate the felt lined pocket for glasses. I recommend this to any college student that has a lot to carry or stays on campus all day. I got the black/ash purple and it's so cute!!!

I use this as my college backpack. If you don't have one I 10/10 recommend you get one! I love this brand and am so happy that they make a backpack that has lots of storage!

The coral metallic is gorgeous!!! I'm so in love with the look of this bag!

I bought this for my daughter as she starts eighth grade and she absolutely loves it! It looks great and seems very durable!

I got this backpack 40% off at the North Face outlet in Destin! I've used North Face for my backpack for the past two years and they have been really durable. I'm very excited about this one. I just wish it had a little bit more room and more pockets but I still love it. I definitely recommend it! Can't wait to use it.

I love this backpack for school and just using, it looks awesome and is extremely comfortable. It has tons of pockets and room. It is practically usable for anything with the second buckle, whistle, and the room. I love this backpack and I hope I can use it for many more years.

This bag is such an amazing bag. I bought it and loved it as soon as I saw it. great space for a laptop or ipad. fits a great amount of books.

i use this product for school this year and it was great many other students backpacks broke you can ripped but mines didnt and belive it is a good backpack for travel ,books,and other personal uses the only con to this backpack is there are absoulty NONE trust this backpack is good for anthor 2 years or so other than that ENJOY

I used this backpack everyday for all 4 years of high school, not to mention as a hiking pack in the Andes mountains, and as a general day pack in Rwanda. It worked perfectly as both a school bag that could hold a laptop and everything else I needed(most of the time) and a hiking pack that I could stuff all my layers into. I am currently shopping for a new bag for college, as this one is reaching the end of its life, and I found myself coming back here as other brands don't offer bags that can easily shift uses. This is the holy grail of backpacks.

After picking up this backpack nearly 5 years ago on a trip to Boston, the time has come for it to be replaced. My bag has been well-worn through its daily use alongside much travel; however, the durability and spaciousness have enabled it to outlast any other backpack I have owned. As I begin my hunt for a new backpack, I choose North Face without a second thought. I recommend this bag for anyone in need of a good life bag-- something comfortable and durable to get the job done.

Great pack for travel.. hiking, day trips, and airline travel. Perfect for easily navigating thru the terminal, and the beautiful garnet red is easily visible ( love the variety of colors, not just your typical black). Would purchase again!

Excellent size! Full backpack that my daughter uses for middle school! Keeps her school laptop and laptop case in there with much room left over to put any full size books and binders! She will use this for awhile, probably until she gets bored with it but not bc it’s not excellent quality and would last her 6 more years until HS graduation!

I was very impressed with the quality and design of this book bag! It is very spacious and looks like it will hold up for a long time. It will be great for when I start pharmacy school in the fall!

Hesitant to spend this kind of money on a backpack for my High school daughter 3 years ago Now I know This bag is well worth it 3 years and still in perfect shape So I just purchased my 2nd one for other daughter -not a second thought on looking for a different option
