Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Use this product for school. Everything about is great. The only thing I dislike is the front pouch. Its smaller and only half the size of the other pouches, which makes it weigh down and makes things harder to get into the other pouches. Besides that very spacious. Very stylish.

I liked the overall look of this backpack. Very sleek, but colorful too. I was very disappointed with the new design, however. The front pocket is half the size of what it used to be. It stops midway and bulges into the main compartment. I didn't even get to use this backpack. I started to put my things in it and realized I couldn't access things in the main compartment because it was blocked by the front compartment bulging into the space. I unfortunately ended up returning because of this. I was definitely expecting more thoughtful design..

Very unhappy with the new design. The main pocket doesn't unzip far enough for a standard sized notebook, which makes it unusable for a student.

There are two different types of Borealis backpacks. This one is without a laptop sleeve and really frustrates because how can a laptop bag not have a laptop sleeve? It looks stylish from outside though and another concern is the straps are extremely stiff - it digs into the shoulders and is rough. I really wanted to keep this bag but I might return it.

The color is nothing close to the picture. i thought it was a completely different backpack when i got it

This backpack is the most durable you will get. It is heavy but it protects my laptop very well and is comfortable to wear. The style I got is very stylish but modern. I recommend this backpack to anyone who is carrying heavy books or binders.

My daughter loves using it at school

Good-looking & functional

I am on my second week as a freshman in college right now and I love this product for my busy and demanding schedule. This backpack is the perfect size and still manages to stay extremely comfortable during my long walks across campus. It has serveral pockets and compartments that gives a place to everything you need throughout the day. I usually hold my laptop, about 3 journals and anywhere between 1-3 textbooks. Not only does everything fit perfectly but the padded straps and back leave me with no soreness. I have received several compliments on the backpack. I feel that with all the features it gives, it is priced very reasonably! Would definitely buy another one.

My 11 year old fell in love with this style the moment I showed her my old north face bag I used to wear to high school and now she gets to rock the school year in style the same way, keep making these durable and reliable products because I still have mine from 20+ years ago and it has not damaged one bit! 5 star product without a doubt!

this backpack is perfect for school!!

I use this product for school & it is very comfortable.

My daughter uses it for school!!

I bought this backpack for college. The straps are very hard and uncomfortable. I have painful red marks on my shoulders after wearing, even with just my laptop inside. Trust me this backpack HURTS. I am a 130 pound 5'6 female and I consider myself pretty hefty. Just know the straps hurt.

I mean the backpack is ok, I was supper excited to get this because of all the amazing reviews and I am in high school but honestly it doesn’t fit that much, I thought it was very uncomfortable on my shoulders and it didn’t look that great

Comfortable

Small phone pocket in the front should be deeper. May not be big enough to hold some phones. Also, the straps are close together and therefore hard to get on. The backpack sits very high when the straps are tight enough for the person.

The backpack has lots of pockets for you.

When your constantly on the go, your never home! One needs a bag that fits everything you need without sacrificing your shoulders or back to carry it all. My laptop, ipad, phone all have special pockets. My school and personal books, notebooks, large planner, gym clothes, and lunch. Love the smaller pockets for whatever the occasion calls for- granola bar and sunscreen or pens and washi tape.

My daughter loves her middle school backpack. We love the fact that she should be able to use it for many years.

I used this for school, and you can put a ton of stuff without feeling all of the heavy weight. It's a combination of stylish, comfortable, and roomy. I recommend you get this product it's one of the best!

I use this backpack for school, so this backpack does the job. I just wish it had more pockets, or at least more space in the pockets. Overall it's a good backpack.

I am a college student and I use this backpack for school. I love the look of the backpack, but it has very minimal storage. I can barely fit my laptop and more than one book in here. There also is not much storage for pencils and other items you might carry in a backpack on the go.

She loved her gift has lots of room and great color.

Very cute but not super noticeable. Blends in.
