Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

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.

I purchased this for my daughter's first year of college. It was her choice.

I am a student so having a backpack that can hold everything I need it to is a lifesaver. Even if my backpack gets heavy it is super comfortable still and durable.

Very cute but not super noticeable. Blends in.

I use this as my school backpack and it's perfect!! Last year my backpack was super bulky and so heavy, and with this pack now somehow it's all the same stuff but defiantly more comfortable and lighter. There is plenty of pockets for phones, food, laptop, and books. I especially love the stretchy pocket for bigger waterbottles! Would definitely recommend!!

This is the second North Face backpack we bought. The other one is still in great condition after 3 years of use, my daughter just wanted a different color. Used as a backpack for school and for hiking and snow skiing in the mountains. Throw it in the washing machine if it's dirty and it looks new after washing!

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

the back of the backpack (the part that touches your backpack) is kinda hard and not really comfortable. you gotta adjust to it but then you stop noticing it. The backpack isnt that big. i could only fit like maybe two-three text books. But the backpack does look really nice though. v stylish not gonna lie

Great backpack. I do wish it had an interior laptop sleeve, but that is it.

Great buy!

Great bag. I love the color, even though it looked a little more purple in the picture. The bag truly is a very attractive grey color. This bag is very durable and well worth the price.

''Tis is the best backpack for a college kid! Can hold all your books and a separate pocket for your computer! Deep side pockets!

I use this product at my backpack for school and my cross country bag. It's very durable and comfortable, but sometimes the straps shift and make my shoulders red. That's not much of a problem, though, taking in the fact that this bag has a crazy amount of storage and hidden pockets. It looks great, too! 10/10 would recommend this bag. It's worth it!

I go to a boarding school where we always have to have a laptop on us, and this backpack is perfect for holding a laptop alone with a textbook and two binders

I mainly use this book bag for my school books. I have big and heavy books and a laptop that I have to carry around, and it has great space for all of it! It is very durable, and I hope it'll last me another 4 years of college! It would be great as a carry-on bag for traveling!

Great product with lots of room and lots of storage compartments.

Love this backpack! Had the old style for 6 years and thought it was time for the new style! Old backpack still is in great shape and nothing wrong, just wanted the newer style with the laptop sleeve! Highly recommend! Great college student backpack, or traveling backpack!

Bought this for my granddaughters birthday and she was so happy with it!

I use it for school and it is really good. I thought at first it was a little small but even then it still wasn't a problem. I just had to unbuckle the straps and then the book bag was able to stretch it out.

I bought the Borealis backpack for my daughter to use on campus and she selected the colors and was thoroughly pleased when it arrived (early!) and it had so many great features it was even better than we expected! She will be carrying a lot of heavy books and other items all school year and has already begun using it and loves it. We knew it would be well made and of good quality materials but actually using has confirmed it for us.

Great backpack for everyday use!

Good Solid Product with lots of color choices

Using it for school.

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

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.
