Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Backpack

Wonderful for school and recreational activities!

My daughter loves her new backpack for high school! Thanks North Face!

It fits everything perfectly, and the shoulder straps don't hurt or cut into your skin. It is very versatile, whether it is used as a school bag or a hiking bag.

I got this backpack for school, specifically so I would not hurt my back or shoulders with the weight of all of my binders, notebooks, and laptop. It has surpassed my expectations! As long as I wear it with both straps, the weight is evenly distributed and does not hurt my back or shoulders. The back of it is padded, as well, which has made it even more comfortable to wear. The straps on the side are great, too, because if I ever have a smaller load I can adjust the size of the main compartment by adjusting the straps. The water bottle pocket also fits my 40 oz Hydro Flask, which is something I initially was worried about. At first, I was afraid it would look like a turtle shell, now that all of my supplies are in it it feels like a normal backpack... except a million times better.

This product is so versatile and sturdy...it will last at least 2 years of high school - maybe even 3

My daughter carries this for college and comfortably fits her laptop, books and various other nessesities. She small framed and the straps really make it comfortable for her to fill it up!

Great quality, perfect size for school.

This backpack is the perfect size for my books, laptop, and other school items.

I was worried about it being too small from other reviews but it fit everything I needed perfectly!

Great school backpack for my high schooler!

I am using this backpack to commute to school in NY. It is a great size and a light weight. It can carry my laptop and has room for everything I need. At first it seemed to rub my neck, but when I actually put things into the backpack, it fit quite comfortably.

My daughter ordered this for a bookbag for the upcoming school year. Plenty of room, sturdy...just as described.

I am a college freshman and this backpack fits my needs perfectly. The padded area for my laptop is awesome, it's big enough to hold my books and notebooks, it's light weight and the straps sit comfortBly on my shoulders. So happy with this purchase.

It works really well for high school. It is a little small, but it still works. It is very cute, and I am glad I bought it.

There is a great amount of storage with lots of padding in the back.

Well basically if your looking for a bag that's actually worth the money and very versatile this is it as well as any other bag by North Face. Always fantastic products, thank you!

great appearance! good quality, easy to pack.

Fits so many things, love the color options, a little heavy, but manageable, awesome bookbag

The backpack appears to be well made. The colors are attractive. It's a large backpack but not an extra large backpack. It won't situp when set down, but most backpacks won't. My daughter was very pleased with the purchases and has been using it for about two weeks without any issues.

This backpack is perfect for school, durable and cute colors!

This is the perfect backpack for school. Love the quality!

I was expecting the backpack to be good but not so good! The material is great & does not give you any back pain at all.

A going off to college gift, I was told that it had to be a Northface...the Borealis fit the bill..I'm going to get a luggage tag for it..majority of students have Northface backpacks, they stand alone in durability. My son had one through college, grad school and still used it for work...over 10 years of use!

GREAT product. Senior in Highschool, fits everything and feel LIGHT. Perfect fit. Front pocket is especially deep! LOVE.

It has different compartment for everything .
