Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I haven't traveled with it yet, but have several upcoming trips

The padded, soft-interior front pocket was a feature I have been looking for some time. I always used to end up throwing my phone and glasses in any available pocket in my old backpack, which would lead to scratching and cracking in a few cases. This pocket is at the top, so nothing will crush your delicate belongings, large enough to fit multiple things, and extremely accessible.

I bought from north face again because my first north face back pack lasted me 15 years and stayed fashionable that entire time. The brand means quality

This back pack seems to be well made. It also has a nice look that is not to flashy and great for my high school age son. It fits the books and supplies that he needs to carry around as his locker is not readily available at school.

I bought the Borealis at a local store in Costa Rica, by walking a lot looking for something different an exclusive... I absolutely love it A+

Great size for replacing a laptop bag.

I had an older North Face Borealis backpack beforethis and it has lasted until now (it is just dirty from a lot of use and still in great condition) I just wanted a new one and I am very happy with it. I will always use North Face for when I need anew backpack.

I use this backpack everyday to work. Love the way the backpack was made. Comfortable, durable and stylish.

I ride the bus a lot and I can carry my books and computer in it and I use it almost daily.I really like the color and all in its the best backpack ive ever owned.

Good pockets and very lightweight

This backpack just took me, my Nikon, and other essentials to Central and Southwest Asia and back! It held up great and kept my stuff safe despite the dirt and dust. Durable yet comfortable construction that feels great whether your wearing a t-shirt or a flak jacket...and it looks good too!

roomy and extremely comfortable . a definite winner!!

I use the bookbag for my college classes!

My daughter loves the backpack. We waited until the color we wanted was off backorder but once it was in it shipped right away. Great colors, excellent quality, functional. It is the second North Face backpack we have purchased. We still have the first one and it is over 8 years old and in good shape. Great customer service and product. We have purchased other North Face products as well and are happy with them.

Bought this for my son who is in High School. He loves it. Very durable. Lots of room.

Been using this bag for school. Provides just enough space to keep everything neat and organized.

I love this backpack! I can fit all my school books in it plus more, and it's comfortable!

Comfortable and durable!! What else can I ask!!

Researched, checked it out at local REI for comfort, features, etc. and finally decided this was the backpack for our overseas travels; sufficient pockets for storage of iPhone, iPad, external battery pack, pens, etc. plus large capacity for sweater/rain jackets. Bottle pocket is a little hard to access when the pack is on so not a pack for long hikes. But will be perfect for our overseas flights and light hiking/sight seeing. Straps are quite comfortable. Pack is a little heavy with nothing in it but that is due to the padding for the back.

I love that is it very roomy, what I did not like is that the bands that go on your front chest are very rough. They are not soft or have much cushion and leave the back pack strap marks on your shoulder/chest area.

I had a North Face Borealis backpack last year, but everyone seemed to have the same exact color, so I bought the black/blue exclusive color recently when it came out. I'd say I've had this for about a month, and it is perfect. It's even better than the last Borealis model. I highly recommend it!

I love everything about it! Totally exceeded my expectations!

It's just the right size for an 8th grader that doesn't want a huge backpack!

I love how confortable my borealis Is and how organizad i keep myself with this backpack.

This pack is the best! I travel for work and use it as one of my carry-on pieces on the plane. It fits my work laptop perfectly and all of my airplane must-haves like my fleece blanket, eye mask, snacks, ID, Kindle, etc. I recently took it to San Francisco to attend Dreamforce and I would have been miserable walking around for 5 days around the City without it! The fit is comfortable and I love the fleece lined mobile phone pocket in the front. I also took it on my vacation to Lake Michigan this past summer. I stayed in downtown Grand Haven and made it a point to not use my truck at all, but bike everywhere I went. The Borealis was crucial for me to bring along beach necissities and food for day excursions. #tnflocals #ambsdr
