Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

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 love the design and everything but I feel like is a little smaller than I expected, also the back and the straps are so hard that is not comfortable to wear for all day school students. This backpack is very light and good supports, even when you have to carry a lot of textbooks You would still not feel that weight at all. Overall I love this design and everything else, except the material are little too hard. I also recommend this product to my boyfrien and he gets one as well!

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.

love the bag, great quality and very durable

I use this backpack to school and its good. Very light weight and comfortable when walking all day.

Really comfortable and lightweight even with textbooks in it.

I got this for my daughter who's a freshmen in high school. Tried other bags but was not happy because of the laptop, books and she was having back and shoulder problems. She was the one who suggested this bag, read the reviews and wanted to try it. No regrets.

Bought it for my daughter who is away at college. She loved it

My high schooler, like her peers, doesn't utilize a locker. Preferring to carry everything in a backpack, her old pack was heavy, worn out and hurt her back. This has been a great purchase. It's comfortable and supportive and sturdy enough to be packed full of her school supplies.

bought for granddaughter for school she loved it

2 reviews in 1 for Reckon and Borealis I assumed TNF backpacks were unisex until I recently bought this "women's" backpack on sale at 60% off. The color I wanted was a "men's" style but the store location was out. Viewing store color choices/styles, I asked an employee what is the difference between men and women backpacks and was told the straps and fit are slightly different. I did not think too much of it and my color choice was a "women's" style. I immediately see and feel the difference with the curved straps (I now notice "women's" style straps tend to curve maybe because of breast IDK) but time and usage (for books/computer) will determine if the straps are a pro or a con. It fits higher up on the body making it harder for 5 feet me to reach over and into the side pockets. I've never had difficulty trying to access side pockets on any of my backpacks. My high arm lift and removing a strap to fully get to the side pocket/s is a -. A couple of days and full backpack later (my usual load) I start experiencing shoulders and back discomfort back but source of uncomfortable pain is unknown (for now). Not satisfy with my purchase I gave the Reckon backpack to my daughter. I figured maybe it was the style I chose and not the gender of the backpack so I went back the same week to replace my backpack (60% sale had ended ) and bought "Women's Borealis". Big mistake and same complaints +1. The Borrealis does not sit upright when you put it down on the floor (I read a review complaint about it AFTER purchasing). I learned an important feature to look for in a backpack because it is annoying how it tilts over when you set it down. I'm stuck carrying an uncomfortable backpack for now.

The picture of the backpacks on the website do NOT match the actual product AT ALL. I was expected a brown and blue backpack and instead got a light blue backpack with the ugliest gray I've ever seen. It looks horribly plain and doesn't even look similar to what I ordered. I will definitely not be buying products from North Face again.

This is a great backpack! It has a lot of pockets and space to put my books and computer. I got the all black one and I like the simple look of it. It's comfortable to wear and fits well. I am looking forward to using this over the next few years while finishing college!

I bought the Borealis for my daughter who is in the 7th grade. She loved the design and the colors. My older daughter also has one. Very stylish and durable.

The item is very useful on a daily basis for school. There are no cons to the item because of its durability.

Perfect for my college friend. She is so excited. It is very comfortable and the space is perfect

The product is great for traveling.

Awesome product

Purchased as a gift to my niece. I really liked the backpack and I am thinking about buying one for myself.

Very disappointed with Northface. I ordered this backpack for my daughter for Christmas. What we received did not come close to matching the one pictured on the website. When I called Northface, I was told, "Often receive complaints about the coloring of the backpacks. The website picture is taken prior to the mass production of the pack and often times the packs are changed." REALLY??? It would have been nice to receive the one my daughter had asked for!! Disappointed mother and heartbroken daughter!

bought this backpack for my girlfriend and she loves it! super stylish and very comfortable. Can use it for anything whether it's going to school or traveling through the mountains. 5 stars.

My daughter loves the design and the work of the backpack. She says it's going to be great for college in the fall for caring her books and her laptop.

My granddaughter loves it - she will use it at college - it will hold all your stuff nicely
