Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I love this book bag! I am a first year college student and it is perfect for getting my books and laptop around campus! It's very comfortable and is very sturdy! I love how the inside pockets are fleece lined because being from upstate New York they are definitely needed, especially for my laptop!

I love it. So many pockets and storage compartments for everything.

I needed a backpack that was big enough, strong enough, durable enough, & comfortable enough for my high schooler. She has to carry it around with her all day due to where her locker is and other than having a backpack on wheels, this one helps her balance the weight.

I love the color and the fit

I use this backpack for school and work - it is the best backpack I have ever owned.

I attending college and this pack distributes the book weight perfectly! No more sore back!

I am a college student who was in need of a new backpack for school. I chose the Borealis backpack because of all the pockets and options for organization. I love that it has two water bottle holders on both sides. I am a petite 24 year old girl and this bag does not look bulky on me and it's very comfortable. I will also be using this backpack for hiking and traveling. I am going on a trip this month and I plan on using this backpack as my carry on for a flight, and also to use while I'm out and about checking out beaches and what not.

I bought this backpack as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend who's style is minimalistic. He needed a backpack that is good for both outdoor activities and everyday use. This backpack is comfortable, versatile and fits all his needs. It has a firm back so he can't feel his laptop or other stuff inside. While it may look small, there is a lot of room and pockets for all items. When it's full it doesn't bulge out like other backpacks tend to do. My boyfriend loved it so much he refused to take off the tags for the first couple of days!

Very comfortable bag and very spacious. I would recommend this bag to students who have a lot of books.

Granddaughter loves it!!

I use the product for school, it has a lot of room to fit all of my things! it's very comfortable and durable.

great durable and comfortable bag!

Love the color! There is so much space and padding. Also the fleece lined pockets where a pleasant surprise. Pricey bag, but WORTH IT!

I bought this backpack for two of my daughters for Christmas. One daughter is a college student and the other is a seventh grader. I had no idea how much they would love them or how they would help keep them organized. In the past, my girls had always carried "designer" backpacks. You know, the ones that are typically more expensive, come in great colors, but are essentially just one large open fabric bag with a zipper. We had no idea how much the different compartment and pockets on our Northface backpack would come in handy and help to keep the girls work organized. We went from searching through our 7th-graders bag each night to find the right homework to her simply opening the "homework" pocket and pulling it out. And, the backpack is lighter than others while at the same time able to hold more things; school books, notebooks, phone, headphones, pencils, lunch. We are done looking for backpacks at the beginning of each school year. I am sure these will last for years, but even if they want new colors we will be buying Northface from now on. You can look for a better backpack, but you won't find one.

Absolutley love it!

I needed a strong backpack for school. I have some big & heavy books. When I saw the Borealis backpack, I was sold,

This backpack lives up to expectations and has phenomenal compartmentalization, sturdy design, comfort-driven features and is ergonomically very sound. Highly recommended. And this is coming from someone who never writes reviews.

I'm currently a Highschool senior about to be a college freshmen and this backpack has helped me out so much with carrying all my books and also my laptop! I love it so much! It also helps that it's cute! ;)

Absolutely fantastic backpack for the price! It is very durable, comfortable and functional while still keeping a minimal looking design. The fleece lining on the inside is a great touch as well! I do think the laptop sleeve could be bigger to better accommodate laptops that are 15.6", which is a standard size. Haven't used it in the rain yet so I can't comment about that. All in all, I would definitely buy again!

This is my second one. The first is still in great shape without rips, breaks or tears after 4 years, just wanted a new color.

Looks great! Soft material and padding inside. Would rather the small pocket in the front to be made of different material to place pencils and pens, but overall great product!

My son is using it for school, overnights, and hiking. Great versatile backpack.

Overall the backpack is well built, buy may need some work with its overall product weight.

I finally decided to buy myself this backpack for Christmas and when I clicked the button to secure the payment I kind of regretted it, just because it was pricy. However when it came in, that little regret disappeared and I would buy this backpack again and again. It's comfortable and sturdy which is all I ask for in a backpack. If you know a preppy, or outdoorsy person, this is the perfect gift!

I use this bag daily to my office.
