Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

It's has a lot of space and pockets.

I use this for school and travel. It's by far the best backpack I've ever purchased.

I use it for school and it fits everything I need!

Great backpack for transporting my computer along with other related items

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!

I will use this back pack for college. I bought my first north face backpack years ago and it last so long and I have no doubt that this will prove the same.

Going back to school in your 30's means you need practical along with style.

I use this for field trips (I'm a teacher), and laptop storage/transportation. I love all the clever features, like the built-in whistle and the sturdy back padding!

This is the backpack my 9 year old chose for her backpack for 4th grade. They have a binder that has to come home each day as well as books etc...This is the perfect backpack!

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.

Lots of pockets, including a lined pocket for a tablet or laptop. It also has a couple of places to put water bottles. My daughter is excited to use it for school.

First of all, this is a very attractive bag. I am going to be using it for travel, primarily one that involves teenagers. I figure this will be easy to keep clean and maintain. I love that the straps adjust to fit snugly against my back (I don't like a backpack that slings). The straps are very comfortable with the padding. It is large without being too large for my size. I didn't want a bag that I have to watch where I'm turning and how I'm turning for fear of knocking into another person or knocking something off a shelf.

I use to think it was crazy to spend so much money on a bookbag until now. The north face bookbag that I bought is the best I have ever owned! In the past my shoulders would hurt whenever I carried my book bag around now since using the north face my sholdsrs no longer hurt. I am the manager of a sporting good store that carries the north face bookbags and I recommend it to every customer.

I bought this for my college year daughter. She likes it.

Teenagers are expected to carry so many things at school including computers-then have to head straight to sports. This bag has room for it all-electronics and great water bottle storage. Love the fitted laptop area! Also great for on back and shoulders. Really important when lugging all that around.

Love this backpack! Fits everything perfect

A traditional gift to my granddaughter to use for school. Such great quality that it doesn't Need to be replaced every year! Thanks Northface

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!

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)

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!!!

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!

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.
