Used to carry books to and from school.

Have had this pack for almost a year, still feels new, looks new, and more importantly can see it lasting for years to come!!! Awesome Job North Face!

Overall good backpack

Great for commuting or weekend trips. This is perfect because I always carry a laptop or tablet with me. I always keep a water bottle in the side pocket. It has enough room to even carry a rain jacket. When I do a little grocery shopping, I stuff everything into this bag.

I'm headed off to college and this backpack is everything I was looking for. It's comfortable, fits my 15" laptop perfectly, and it is very roomy yet not bulky. I am very satisfied with my purchase and it is worth every penny. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid backpack they can use for anything.

I've finally found a bag that will be able to safely carry my laptop. The bag has a lot of room and sits comfortably on the shoulders. Big win.

I use this backpack for school and it's great! Has great space inside for carrying my books, notebooks, laptop and so forth. I highly recommend this backpack to anyone looking for a stylish and roomy backpack!

I use this to cary work electronics around, like my laptop and a writing tablet. Really safe and secure spaces for these items. I also travel a ton and it's also a great under seat bag for air travel. For light packers, this has enough space for a toiletries, a couple sets of clothes, and any electronics you need.

I've owned one of these for the past 3 years. I've used it as my traveling backpack for surf trips to Mexico and Central America. It holds all the gear and clothing I need for 4-6 weeks traveling in the tropics. I also have used it for backcountry skiing daytrips, as a daypack for hikes, and as my everyday school/work backpack. It is a great jack-of-all trades pack, and the perfect capable-carry on backpack for travel.

I use this product for everyday use such as school, Sports, traveling etc! It's great for all the space and features about it while looking stylish. No cons for me.

Strong backpack with enough capacity for short travels, specially if you are practical organizing your gear. At the same time, beautiful, or that is what i get to hear normally.

I'm not a typical millennial looking for awesomeness when I travel. The fact is I can only walk so far without my stenosis shooting pain to my lower back. So I bought this backpack because my physical therapist said maybe it will help you walk erect. I put a few pounds in the backpack and it made me feel better. Now I enjoy slipping the straps on my shoulders and standing tall. I am so happy plus the backpack itself is excellent quality!

I love my borealis backpack, it's definitely the best backpack ive ever had. I got the bag in asphalt grey peyote beige, it looks far better in person . It costed me an arm and a leg but it was worth it. Moreover, the bag is heavier and sturdier than I thought.. both of which are good things.

I use the back pack as my dude purse. It will go everywhere with me. I'll travel with it and I will walk beaches and ski the back country with it. I have a survivalist mentality, so if I'm stranded in some canyon in HI for 2 weeks, I might be that dude that gets out alive?

Bought this for college and it's just what I wanted:)

Extremely comfortable when carrying heavy load. I would recommend it if you're willing to pay the price.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend after getting one gifted for me this past Christmas. We love this bag. It's extremely comfortable and spacious and holds everything we need for traveling and work.

I took it to almost all activities. Some hiking trips, family gathering so far.

Takes a day to break in but very comfy

I use this for school everyday and it's incredible! It never feels too heavy with all the books and my computer I bring around because of the support from the straps! It looks tough and can hold everything I need. There are a lot of straps that sometimes get caught on things in class but it's not a deal breaker. They still look cool.

Great product! All compartments have a function from urban (computer pocket) to dirt trails. I love the para cord -functions like a "dry" pocket so if you go through a stream and need to dry anything w/out inner contents getting wet), medical (can bind a split together, help build a crutch or cane, God forbid you need a tourniquet, etc.), help build shelter if you get lost or weather comes in, a trap (build a snare), aid in weapon construction (multiple ways), etc. Therefore, extremely versatile if needed.

I bought this backpack for my fianc as I have had the same north face backpack since I was in 7th grade (or 2003) and it's still in awesome condition and the only backpack I'll use. My fianc LOVES this backpack and is extremely versatile, high quality and esthetically pleasing :) 10/10 would recommend.

This bag is great for the commuter who has to carry heavy laptops and books like me as it provides a lot of support and feels very light on your back. What I love about it though is that it works just as great on the weekend when you are hiking without having to use or purchase another bag! The orange on black look is very cool and makes your bag stand out from the rest as well.

I love this backpack! Tons of room, lots of separate compartments, comfortable and looks great too!
