Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I use this product for school , it's amazing , I am able to carry all my books without having to feel like it's heavy. There's a lot of room, along with my books , i caref my athletics clothes & shoes & it honestly applies no weight to my shoulders

I use my backpack for school & it is great because of all the space it has. Also love that it is waterproof during the stormy winters. The padding on the back makes the bag a lot more comfortable!

Cute, sturdy book bag. Just started college and needed something to carry all my books & laptop while protecting it at the sametime!

I am in college and this backpack is perfect! There is a pocket which is ideal for storing a laptop. There is also a large pocket perfect for books as well as several smaller pockets for pens, phone, chapstick, etc. this is the third North Face backpack I've owned and it by far has the most cushion on the shoulder and back areas.

Fits everything I need for school perfectly. It's super comfy and great for traveling as well.

So far, the product has been great! I would have terrible back issues with other backpacks I've used before. My North Face backpack hasn't been hurting my back and it feels lighter too. It gives great support for my back and you can tell the quality is superb! Super pleased!

I upgraded from the Jester because I wanted a little more storage space. It’s a wonderful backpack. Very comfortable, nice deep side pockets for drinks, the vented back panel keeps me from getting sweaty, lots of great little pockets and compartments too. I couldn’t be happier. Worth the money.

Love it ..I moved from a canvas to backpack for office and business travel. Comfortable and stylish-

I use the product for all of my college courses. It fits all of my materials and the color is exactly as pictured!

I loved it and wish it fit, but sadly I have a really small childbirth and it looked huge on me. I wouldn't orally buy if it was offered in a smaller size!

Great for work or school

I've been using North Face backpacks for years and I will not be turning in any other direction. I am a student and recently I purchased another backpack after almost 4 years of use from my old North Face. Even then, it was still fully functional and in tact! I love the designs they offer and the new one I got I couldn't love more! I get tons of compliments and it fills all my needs. As a student, I'm constantly carrying around tons of books and my computer. I feel like this backpack not only has enough room for my books, but also has a protective area to keep my laptop from breaking even if I threw my bag across the room. I would definitely recommend this bag.

I purchased this backpack just recently (earlier this month) to use for multiple purposes. I wanted to use it the backpack for work, travel, and possibly for outdoor use (hiking/kayaking). Since purchasing the backpack, I've been able to carry it daily to work (I'm a school counselor), and I'm able to fit everything nicely into it, even having extra room. I love the back sleeve for laptop carrying/protection. I'm a big fan of all of the pockets that makes it easy to house all my favorite writing utensils, chargers, and spare change for that mid day caffeine pick me up. The main reason for the purchase was to use the bag as a carry on when traveling. Just this past Friday I returned from a four day trip to Texas (MD Anderson Cancer Center). This is the 2nd of several trips to come in the future, and I wanted a bag that I could carry my laptop, snacks, water, medical records/documents (of my dad's), as well as other work related items that would help pacify the time as I wait during doctor appointments. This bag did not disappoint. It was roomier than I expected, and the back cushiony design helped provide comfort for the heavy loads I carried. The attractive color scheme and lifetime warranty were both added bonuses! Appreciate a couple of coworkers making the North Face recommendation to me when I asked. Very satisfied!

I use this backpack for commuting back and forth from home and college. At first it was very stiff and hard on my back, but after wear it became very soft and comfortable. Although I wish there were more smaller pockets, the main two compartments for your laptop and books is very roomy and can fit many things.

I use this product every day as a backpack. I conveniently store both my laptop and iPad in the laptop section which is very well padded and protects the devices. My smaller items fit well and are secured by the front section which contains individual pouches.

I use this backpack everyday for school. I needed a new one that was able to fit my bigger textbooks, but still comfortable enough to carry. The different compartments also allow the sectioning off of all my materials. Love this bag!

The backpack is very comfortable and roomy. It is lightweight and has plenty of room for books and a laptop.

I bought this backpack 7 years ago to use for my senior year of high school and it survived that entire year, my 6 years of college, 2 trips to the Smoky Mountains, and more. You wouldn't even know that it's has old as it is because it doesn't show a single sign of breakdown. The only thing that makes it look it's age is that I need to clean it. I take it with me on every trip I go on because it's so roomy and durable. For college, I have to carry my laptop with me everywhere and have for all 6 years, and this backpack was perfect for that because not only does it have a padded pocket for it, but since the backpack is waterproof, I don't have to worry about it getting wet. There have been too many days to count that it has rained while walking to class and while everyone else has soaked books and electronics, mine has never soaked through, even on days I forgot my umbrella and it was pouring out. Highly recommend. I plan on having it for years and years to come.

Fantastic product and lasts longer than any other brand.

Perfect backpacks for school and day hiking trips. Very spacious and super cute

I bought this for my daughter. She is very hard on bags and it has held up great.

This backpack is the perfect fit for me! Has enough pockets and is super comfortable, even when carrying a lot of weight. Pretty pricey but totally worth the cost!

i was in need of a new backpack because the last one i had was from my freshman year of high school, and im currently a sophomore in college. im very picky about backpacks, and looked over the variety many times before deciding on this one. 10/10 would recommend, she's light, fun and does the job.

I use it going to school everyday. It is very durable and I know I will be able to use this again and again into the future when I go to college.

Great Product. will buy another for a gift.
