Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I am so impressed with the durability and the overall look of the backpack. Also, I love that all of the little pockets are fleece-lined. It makes it great for phones/tablets and computers. I will totally pay that much for a great product.

Something that I really love about this backpack is the protective pocket for my laptop. Most bags just have a separate area, but this bag actually has a padded pocket and a pocket for my iPad as well. I also really like the fit of the bag and that it is made for a woman's body. It's super comfortable and perfect for college!

It's has a lot of space and pockets.

By far one of the best backpack purchases I've made to date. This is my second Borealis purchase as the first one was for myself and the second one was for my sister. This backpack is great for school and had lasted me over 3 semesters already. Great durability and I plan on using it until it completely destroys (which is very unlikely since The North Face's build quality is amazing).

My niece uses her backpack for school and is not only stylish but super excited bout using it this year!

When it was time for Lexi to choose her backpack for school, nothing but Northface would do this year! We went to 3 stores in three areas for a total of 68 miles, looking for the on that was "just right". Finally came home and ordered it online. Free shipping, why would anyone run all over when the right one was just a click away! That anyone is a grandma that enjoyed spending the time with the granddaughter!!!

I bought this for my daughter to use at college. So far it's a win. She stuffed it full on dorm move-in and it worked awesome. She's thrilled with the style (important to her) and I'm thrilled with it's capacity (important to me)

Bought for myself.

This backpack is wonderful! I use it for my daily college life as well as SUP day trips on the river or bay. While I wish there was slightly more storage for books, binders, etc., this pack gets the job done regardless. Also, the elevated laptop sleeve works great when sliding a laptop in to prevent the computer from smacking the ground. A great purchase all around!

I got this for school and it is awesome! So stylish and durable, very comfy on my shoulders and plenty of room! My sister wants one now!

Absolutely perfect for my granddaughter. She loves the backpack for school!

Bought for work and school and it's perfect for carrying books and my computer.

Got this bag for my middle schooler, perfect size and light weight. She loves it so far!

It's perfect for classes, and also for when I travel. I've used it from overnight stays to books and laptop! It's got soft pockets so I feel comfortable putting my electronics in them.

I use it for college right now but when I travel I also use it for a carry on! Can be used for anything

School, roomy and durable

This bag is for my daughter. Her and I both love it. I fits everything that she needs for school, and she also uses it when we travel. It is perfect!

I never expect nothing less of greatness when ordering something from The Northface . Great quality, and amazing customer service from staff . Northface is always my #1 choice for me and my son .

I bought the same backpack in 2012 and loved it. The last one was a white one, so over time it started to look dingy. That is the only reason why I decided to buy a new one. That back is still working perfectly. This new backpack has the features I needed, the tablet sleeve and the new secondary pockets. The back support is even better than the older versions and the quality is still there.

I use my bag as a carryon on airplanes because it has so many pockets and organization. I also love using it for school work for the same reason.

Awesome bag - too big for high school

Perfect for holding my MacBook Pro 15", a few hard drives, assorted cables, notebooks (the paper kind), and various other things needed on the go in a media production environment. I'm still amazed with the well designed and placed pockets. There's a laptop sleeve and additionally another padded pocket that's perfect for my hard drives. Love the (almost dayglo) orange color.

Bought this product for my daughter who will be a freshman in college to haul her laptop and other items in. I like the straps that lock in the front. It is more secure on her.

I purchased this backpack for my daughter whom is going into the 7th grade. Last year, her back was constantly bothering her with the heavy weight of all her books and school supplies. I purchased this backpack for two reasons, first because my daughter chose it and second because I felt it was durable and would help ease some of her back pain.

Love the place for headphones/ chargers!!!
