Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I've been using this backpack at college and have been very pleased with it. It holds a lot of stuff but is still less bulky than other backpacks I have tried.

It has a lot of space if you have lots of books to carry. I love using this for school. I love this!

I bought this backpack for my daughter to help her stay organized. The compartments are great. She has a place for her water bottle, computer, phone, books, and binders. The backpack is a beautiful rich color with very nice zippers and it's very sturdy. We are absolutely pleased with this purchase!!

I use it for school and have to carry tons of stuff but it never feels like it because the support on it is amazing!

My kids and I love this bag so much that this is the only back to school bag we ever buy, it last so long that I usually only buy them one every other year and only because they want a new color. I recommend this for K-12 students and also for a college student.

This backpack solve all my issue of being an incoming college freshmen. I am caring my computer, charger, books, notebook and etc. I thought it would hurt my back but its dose not I feel like I am not caring a lot of things. It has a lot of compartment so it is a way to keep me organized. It is very durable and worth the money. I could see why it would help me through all of years in college. I love this backpack. I do not regret and very recommended.

Used for college and fits books and laptop in one bag

I love the style of the back it's super stiff the first 2 weeks but I believe after a while it's should soften up. Also the main compartment doesn't stretch wide enough to put a lot of books inside currently it fits my binder and to books but I have to force them in a bit. Otherwise it's a great bag will last for a long time

Picked it up in store, the employee was polite and I got my order quickly after signing.

I use this backpack for college. Has enough compartments and not too many.

My daughter is carrying it to school and loves it!

It was time for a new backpack and I made the best choice going with this one.

The comfy straps make for a easy carry when I have my twenty minute one way walk to school everyday.

My high school daughter could no longer fit her books, notebooks, lunch etc in her old backpack. Now they fit and she is able to tie her lunch down to the outside of this backpack. The chest and waist straps help support the weight of her books while she bikes to school.

I recently brought the borealis book pack for class. It's durable and fits quite a lot of material, but it's a little heavy.

I needed a backpack with lots of room for binders, books, laptop & sports practice equipment. Many of my friends have decided to purchase this same backpack after seeing how much it holds!

I am a college student so buying a backpack that is comfortable no matter how many books I have to carry is essential. This backpack no matter how heavy is always comfortable

I love this backpack and highly recommend it to any high school student or college student looking for a comfortable and efficient bag!

Comfy fit, lots of pockets

I use this bag for school and work. I receive a ton of compliments on this bag.

I use this backpack for school to put in all my school supplies I started the first days of school with a ja sport by it was really uncomfortable and heavy when I tried this one on it was like going to heaven

I use the backpack for school and it's perfect! It has so many different pockets to put pencils, calculators, note cards, headphones, etc. It has a great pocket made specifically for my laptop too!

I use this backpack everyday for work and school. I had this backpack last year and wanted the newer version and I absolutely love it. It has a lot of room for my books and computer and other things.

I love my backpack. I'm positive that it'll last me through the rest of my schooling, but even if it doesn't there's a lifetime warranty!

I bought this backpack for daily commuting on busy subway trains to replace a too-large and beat up High Sierra. Though I wanted to downsize, I still needed room for my travel mug, laptop, wallet, shoes, lunch containers, 2 phones, an extra rain jacket or sweater, a planner, and a book (I tested capacity early on by carrying around an 800-page novel). The Borealis delivered - It took some adjusting to get everything situated correctly, but it all fits, and once it's on my back, I can barely feel the weight. This backpack is a huge improvement on my old High Sierra too - it's slimmer in both depth and width, which is important on a crowded train. It has also already been successfully used as a carry-on for an overnight trip. One cautionary note, the entire largest zipped compartment is the laptop sleeve - There is no additional fleece-lined sleeve inside. This wasn't problematic, but I remember being surprised based on the product description.
