Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Is a very nice backpack, very comfortable, and durable.It's a backpack for the life

I use this college, I carry 4 books and a five subject note book in it. It's not great when full with a laptop. This is because it becomes rigged to carry.

I brought this book bag for my Son for High School. He needs a bag to carry him throughout the school year. He needs to car books, laptop as well as his clothes for football practice. I brought several bags within a year. I decided to invest in 1 bag that will last.

Great comfort for your back, lots of storage space for books, laptops, etc

I use this product to carry school books and work papers. I also use it to travel and over night trips.

I've always bought my son a backpack for school every year. He loves North face and the jackets. Always a good experience buying here. Thank you

Great to hold computer. Comfortable and easily holds my work books for travel.

I use this for college. Stylish, comfortable and holds up against the weather pretty well.

I bought this to replace the Iron Peak backpack also from north face. This book bag is much better. it has more organizational space as well as a more flexible back. The iron peak had the issue of causing all my items in the main compartment to fall forward which didn't allow me to place anything like a sandwich tupper on top of my notebooks, textbooks, etc. because they'd just get jammed in between and crinkle all the pages. I'm supposing this was due to the very stiff back piece in that backpack. This Borealis book bag is another story. The back is stiff enough for support yet soft enough to prevent the issue I had with the iron peak bag. It also has another pocket in front of the main pocket which is great for calculators, writing utensils, keys, and wallets. The laptop compartment is separate and roomier than the one in the iron peak. Overall, padding is ample and bag has been comfortable so far although take this with a grain of salt since my daily load usually does not surpass 15 pounds. I am a college student and this works great. Little pocket in the front for your phone is cool but not a life saving feature. I do appreciate the extra buckles on top of the water bottle mesh in case you're carrying longer bottles. the bungee cords in the back are Very helpful in the summer. if you have to stuff an extra jacket or labcoat into the main compartment it makes the bag feel lumpy and uncomfortable and also serves as unwanted heat insulation but the bungee cords solve that.

Well worth every penny. North Face continues to surpass previous products. Thank you

As a 6'4" high school junior I needed a new durable practical and comfortable backpack- of course I bought from North Face, again. I have used my previous North Face backpack since the beginning of middle school and was thrilled that I was finally able to buy a new one.

I've been using my Recon TNF backpack since 2007, so when my gradson asked me what did I consider the best backpack there was no question TNF costs a bit more but hands down the best out there!!!

School and hiking

Got this backpack for my boyfriend he absolutely loves it.

I use this backpack for school and travel. I am able to fit everything I need, and always feels great. The comfort level is unmatched compared to my last backpack.

Great backpack for college. Lots of room for basics and laptop computer. I like the slots for waterbottles on the sides.

I use this bag for school, I'm in college so have a computer and books so this bag can handle the weight

My son loves it, he uses it for school and it's convenient it has its own pocket for his laptop

We love this backpack!! Have bought two. My oldest child has carried hers around campus and everywhere for over 2 years and it still looks brand new. It came highly recommended by many parents at her university. Just bought a second one for my youngest. Same great quality product.

I bought this book bag for my son in high school. It fits all his stuff and is comfortable.

I'm a student and this backpack is very roomy. I can fit my laptop and couple binders. There's many pockets which is a great plus.

Fits and protects everything I need.

As a brief case and transporter of Information.

My daughter loves her new back to school backpack that can also be used on our hiking trips. It is nicely designed and wont fall apart like all the other backpacks we have had in the past.

Bought this for my son who is starting his freshman year of college. He has to haul his laptop around with some books and notebooks. This was the perfect backpack for him. Roomy and sturdy, and has a slot for his water bottle! Highly recommended.
