Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

The rich looking mottled fabric and golden trim/zipper detailing add an upscale feel, whether you are traveling, going to work, or just going to class. Good sized pockets, and laptop section, along with water bottle holders, and bungie cording for jacket or other gear make it utilitarian, with a sleek profile.

I use this bag for school & occasionally for traveling, gym, ect. Very roomy & high quality.

My high school aged daughters use these backpacks. They hold up well despite lots of hard use, and the zippers, especially, operate better than any other brands we have purchased.

my daughter picked this out on her own for the beginning of her seventh grade year, she loves it and is excited to take it to school.

My daughter decided on this one based on excellent feedback from her brother and his girlfriend that only use NF backpacks.

I use this product for school and it is so cute and functional!

I use this backpack for getting to classes and around campus. I LOVE it! super lightweights and durable, has carried multiple textbooks for me from the bookstore and back! I would repurchase this in a heartbeat

I purchased this backpack for my daughters first year of college. It is perfect. I'm positive it will last throughout her college days so I won't have to buy one every year. These bags last and stand up to pretty much anything. Books, laptop, umbrella, there's room for lots on this bag. Love the color and it's just a great purchase

I bought this backpack for my daughter to use for school but it is also great for transporting her sports gear and is big enough for weekend travel. I appreciate that it is roomy, has plenty of pockets to help her be organized, protects her laptop, and distributes the heavy load she carries in a way that is healthier for her back. It's an all-around great backpack and worth every penny!

it's ok

My daughter needed a new back pack for Freshman year and this one is the Best!! Great design to lessen back stress when carrying your back pack all day long from class to class

I use my North Face backpack for school and competitive cheer. It can hold all my stuff that I need for the day and practice. It carries my laptop and all my school books and my cheer gear! I love it.

Great school backpack for teenagers.

Backpack was purchased for my 15 year old granddaughter for school. She says it is the most comfortable, roomy, lightweight, and most important of all -" the coolest, best-looking"- backpack she has ever owned! She absolutely loves it!

My daughter needed a new backpack for school. I was tired of cheap backpacks that wear out every semester. A friend said her daughter has been using her Borealis for years at college and even on a missions trip to Honduras. It still looked brand new. I hesitated on price because I was used to buying the big box store cheap ones. I'll never hesitate again to buy a North Face backpack! It is working out great!

High quality backpack

i use this backpack for college and i love how all my books and laptop fits!!

For my daughter for middle school - right sized, light weight with enough room for all of her books plus lunch and computer. Recommended!

Great for collage

I am a student, and this is a very durable bag for everyday use. There are a lot of pockets of varying sizes for smaller personal items that you may not want to keep in the bigger pockets. My only complaint is that the larger pockets are quite deep, and my books often get "lost" in the abyss. because of the smaller front pocket thats positioned toward the top of the large pocket, sometimes its difficult for me to see and its hard to reach my smaller items such as my planner and smaller books because the small front pocket is blocking the upper portion of the large pocket, somewhat like a ledge. Other than that, I love the bag, and it will last me for many years to come.

I bought this backpack for my daughter who is 7yrs old. It's a bit heavy for starters and stiff, but overall my daughter likes it for school. It does feel like it'll last her all throughout her school years!

Great for school

Love the pockets but I wish it was a little bigger.

This is a great product!
