Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I bought this for school and have no regrets!!

I love this backpack so much. Compared to my last one, this one is a lot more narrow, which I didn't realized I would love so much because I can shove things on top of other things. I love the outside bungee cord straps too because I can shove a sweatshirt in my backpack without having it take up any took inside. I have been wanting a northface backpack for years but I was hesitant about the cost. but now after using it I don't know what I did without it.

This is a school pack for me, things I love the most is the well structure and good engineering from TNF. It does take less effort than the previous jansport pack for the same weight. But the engineering make it slightly heavier than normal pack due to its padding weight. The pack seems to last long tho.

I use this bag for work & travel. The laptop sleeve is great & secure, and the fleece-lined pockets are great for phones & sunglasses. Comfortable, even when carrying a ton!

Works great and very spacious for a college student! Got it for a gift for my girlfriend and she loves it after not being happy with a one pocket backpack. Definitely great for school AND travel AND hiking.

This was a gift for my daughter and she loves it

I wanted a compact backpack for my daily commute to the office and I could say... Mission accomplished with my Borealis. It keeps my laptop from moving al around, it feels light and resistent. Waterproof for those rainy days.

I made a good purchase.

I use this backpack for school. I am a college student. This backpack has everything I need. A pocket for all my supplies, a cushioned laptop sleeve, and a spot for my books and water bottles. And I really love the hidden whistle!! I think that is absolutely genius it makes me feel more secure when I'm out walking. It has extra cushion on the back and the shoulder straps.

I have had a Borealis backpack from the North Face for just about 5 years now and it is in excellent condition. When I had the idea of buying two backpacks as prizes for my students I knew I had to go through the North Face. I know my students will be satisfied with the product and hopefully they will be able to gift a North Face backpack to someone else once they finish their own college careers.

Niece was thrilled and the smile on her face said it all!

Got this for my niece as a graduation gift. I tried it out and liked it so much I bought one for myself as well!

This is a great bag! It's a little bulky if you pack it full, but nevertheless it's a great looking and very useful bag.

Sent my old Exocet backpack in to get fixed and it was in repairable. Had it for 12 years and thought I would have to buy another. The North Face reimbursed me for it and I bought the Borealis and am very satisfied with it.

Bought for my HS daughter for school. She loves it!!!

Use for school

I had a borealis before for 5 years, now that I have the new model I am thrilled! The features are insane!

I use this product for school and it's one of the best bags I've ever used. I'm very satisfied!

Daughters use for college

Great for a college student

I take this to school everyday and I love the color and practicality of it!

This is the perfect backpack for going on day trip adventures with my two young kids. The Borealis holds plenty of snacks, sweatshirts and whatever else we need for spending the day outside exploring. The side pockets hold our Camelbaks and keep them in easy reach. The clips and bungees make bringing my folded down hula hoops along easy for me to do. The backpack itself is very comfortable and looks so stylish. We recently took a trip to NYC and the backpack was perfect for my carry on needs as well as city exploring.

What a great backpack! Versatile and a quality product. Was looking for a more versatile bag other than my laptop bag. This backpack carries more stuff! The dark grey and orange/red color combo is exactly what I was like looking for.

I bought this backpack to serve two functions 1. Gym bag 2. Travel pack. It's well suited as a gym bag because it holds all my stuff and is still able to fit in a locker and is comfortable on the occasions that I ride my bike to the gym. As a travel pack, it easily holds my 13-inch MacBook Pro, my iPad, a couple water bottle, and a change of clothes. It's actual even kind of handy to carry two or three bottles of wine to a restaurant. It's not extremely heavy duty as in a tactical sense, but the trade of is that it is light weight. The only thing I wish it had that it doesn't is an exterior hook & loop to add moral patches for personalization.

It's really comfortable and you can carry a lot of weight without hurting your back
