I am a college student and use this backpack everyday. It is very comfortable and I can fit all my school items in it for the whole day. The only thing is is the backpack is slightly on the heavy side, but overall is a great backpack and would recommend!

I love the Borealis Backpack. This is my 2nd purchase of this style, I had to repurchase because my other one ripped in one of the straps. Therefore I went with the same style and I am so happy I did! Holds my laptop, charger, notebook, 32 oz water bottle, and other personal items throughout the day comfortably. The only downside to this new version of the Borealis is that the straps hurt your shoulders with the padding being a lot harder than the other style of the Borealis. Maybe it is because it is brand new and hasn't been worn down a little, but just the only issue that came up with this backpack. Other than that I recommend this backpack to any full-time college student looking for an easy way to carry their things around campus!

I'm officially a freshman this year for college, and having a backpack that provides support is very important since there's lots of walking around the campus for me. My original backpack from highschool was hurting my back due to how much it dragged my back when I carried my stuff, so I decided that I would buy a new backpack. I saw that Northface was very popular among other students, so I went ahead and ordered one of the most high-rated models. I'm pretty satisfied with my Northface backpack, and I use it everyday. At first the back of he backpack was unusual for me because it has a board-like support inside, but after a while I realized how much support it provided. The mesh on the straps were also very scratchy, but only irritates me when I were a sleeveless top. Besides from that, I think this backpack is very useful, and I would recommend it.

I use this product to go to classes around my university and so far it has been very comfortable. I have enough space to load all of my books and a computer with out having to cram things in. The only con wth the back is that the zipper can be a little difficult sometimes.

I bought this backpack for my college student. She rides a scooter to get around and we needed something functional and safe. This backpack hits on all the marks!

I use this backpack for college and it helps keep everything in place and it holds a lot of things. The only thing is that the shoulder pads are to rough and it hurts my shoulders.

I currently am using this backpack for back to school I am in high school and I absolutely love it the only problem I have with it is the straps dig into my shoulders but that could be because I haven't broken it in yet

I bought this backpack for my older daughter for school a couple years ago and it's been great. I just got the same one for my younger daughter and she loves it too. It costs more than some backpacks but it's worth it because it is made so well.

Living in southeast Alaska there is no shortage or mountains to climb trails to run and beaches to camp on! This backpack works great for all of these things if it's a nice day. I have used it in the rain a lot and it does fairly well but with how hard it rains here it has its moments which you can't really hold against the backpack because it's not really built for that kind of weather, it sits really nice on long hikes and can actually carry a medium heavy load. I think this backpack is a great car camping bag just due to its size it can really be put anywhere and not be in the way all the time with a lot of pockets for your more expensive items/ electronics. This backpack is an all around great backpack and have already told a lot of people about it and love to see others with it to see what they have to say! Happy adventures everyone.

I would give it a 5 star but couldn't because of the size advertised. This was the 2nd back-pack we tried. They advertise a depth but that size only applies to the bottom of the back not in the middle where you put all your books and binders. The depth or width of a back-pack should should be the overall width, not at just one spot in the bottom. Other than that it was very good quality and we love the padded pockets.

I use this backpack every day for school. I really like all the pockets and different holding sections it has. The only thing that I did not like was towards the beginning the straps were really tight on my shoulders, but as I wore it more they loosened up and have become much more comfortable.

I use this backpack for school and there is so much space, even a spot to put my laptop protectively. My only problem is there isn't enough space to out a lunch box but it definitely is spacious enough.

I had many binders and notebooks that didn't fit, but just a laptop and a few folders would fit great!

I use this primarily for school, and lots of space is wonderful for being able to fit all of my school work plus my lunch! The back is very structured and the sleeve for my laptop is very nice. There are lots of little pockets for being able to store pens/pencils/chargers etc. I also love the fact that you cannot see through the water bottle sleeves on the side. It's easy to store keys/phone there while walking around campus. The only downfall of this backpack is that the shoulder straps are very stiff. This may be because I've only had the bag for 2 weeks however. Overall, great backpack for the price and I hope that it will last me for many years to come!

I use it for high school and plan to bring it with me to college next year. It is very comfortable to wear but the backpack itself is pretty heavy.
