Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

My daughter will be going to College in the fall. She loves this backpack. It is very stylish and comfortable. Very light weight. Perfect for carry her MacBook and textbooks between classes. The strings which tighten on the front are very useful for securing the contents while traversing campus. Very sturdy build.

Great product!

A little bulky but you can tell it's durable and will last!

Bought for my daughter for College. It has just the right amount of color contrast without being so bold. Many compartments available for numerous items.

Love it. The color is great, the size is great. The north face products are always top shelf.

I got this backpack for college and I absolutely love it. The back padding provides great support for your back and I've never had any trouble with back pain.

I love this bag, it fit everything I needed for my freshman year of high school! It is just very big and the straps are somewhat itchy

Graduation gift for incoming college freshman

This backpack is amazing! My finace got his 5 years ago and it survived many hiks, many plane flights, many college adventures and many trips around Europe and it has no scratches or breaks or ruined threads or anything bad. I used to borrow his couple of times. So this year for my bday he got me one of Borealis backpacks and I'm loving it, I'm rocking it to work and everywhere I go. I love the materials, the colors, the shape, the construction, the amount of space and all the pockets. I love how it doesn't make any pressure at the end of my back, how the venting works and it has several reflecting elements so if you're walking in the dark cars still can see you. My favorite part is how it helps me keep my posture with the front belts and reminds me that I can still walk like a lady and have a backpack on my back.

School and travel pack for my daughter.

Great design. The padding is very comfortable. It is a little heavier than a regular backpack but this is due to the sturdy internal structure of it which actually helps distribute the weight more comfortably on the shoulders. I wish it was a little roomier but overall happy with this product!

I use this backpack to carry all of my teacher items. It allows me to bring home work to grade as well as my devices. This backpack is also great for our trip to Yellowstone.. has many pockets and can carry my hydroflask easily.

I use this backpack to transport my computer and work materials too and from the office. It's super sturdy without being rigid! I love love love this color! It's kind of a purple but is not loud, fits my classic style perfectly but yet still feels a little girly.

Its what i was looking for for college. Need to be careful not to damage the side pockets for water bottles or umbrellas as it is very elastic and fragile but it does make bigger waterbottles fit. I carry my books and laptops and doesnt look too bulky. The only con is that the front pocket doesnt go all the way down so if u fill it it looks weird so i use the large pocket to place my wallet and a pouch way down it looks distributed

Will use for my backpack in college. Exactly what I needed.

I love it

Love it

I use this backpack for school, for my computer and books. I used to get a headache from my other backpack with these items, but I haven't gotten a headache since using this backpack!

It is my go to gift to give for graduation!

Bought this for my daughter for college wanted a backpack that is durable,water resistant and protect that "expensive " laptop PERFECT NORTHFACE DELIVERED! thank you would definitely recommend for those incoming freshmen!

Love it,

I had an old North Face Backpack in this model that I got back in 2011 that has lasted me through 8th grade to college. I still have it. After the padding wore down I got a new one. It sucks. Six months after I got it the strap ripped so I sent it in and got it fixed. Now a year and a half later the stitching on this backpack is separating and there are gigantic holes in the water bottle pockets. Compared to my previous backpack this one looks more beat up than the one I've had for 8 years and I've only had the new one for 2.5 years.

Absolutely amazing, so roomy fits everything perfectly!

I love the design and all of the many pockets. It helps keep me very organized.

I've been using this backpack for about 2 weeks now and I LOVE IT! The part where your back goes has padding so it makes it SO comfy to wear. The pockets in this backpack are perfect and there is a lot of room for things. The water bottle pockets can fit 2 camelbak bottles in one and that just goes to show how stretchy the water bottle pocket is. Overall, I love this backpack and was worth the money!
