Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

My daughter loves it! Sleek, sturdy and lightweight.

This is amazing! Easy to use and take care of. its best for everyday use and travel

Love this so much! Such a nice useful bag. This is one of our favorites!

The backpack is attractive and has many helpful storage features. I appreciate that my 22oz stainless steel flip-top water bottle fits into the water bottle pockets and is secured in there by the bungee cords. My complaint is that the bungee cords on the front seem a bit tight, impeding the ability to load the main compartment.

Good quality bag.

Solid construction. Bit small. But lightweight.

My granddaughter is in 5th grade and she picked this backpack out for herself. High quality and she fills it to the brim with books. love loves it.

Worked great stuffed it for long hikes and never had any issues. Super comfortable on my back!

Purchased as a backpack for my 17 year old granddaughter. She loves the color combinations, compartments and the weight. She says the straps and size is designed for her comfort.

The backpack looks great, is cute, and is very functional. Only complaint is that the straps are a bit stiff and I'm having a hard time getting it to fit right. It also could have a bit more storage capacity.

Ordered online. Was expecting a larger backpack for my weekend travels. Pockets are small and compact, so its hard to put more items into the front pockets. There's no stretch in the bag like it looks with all the elastic bands. Quite disappointed.

I love the product but wish the front pocket was deeper!

Bought this for my 11 year old granddaughter. She is a high honor student and has so many books to carry. This backpack was perfect very sturdy and high quality.

Great backpack. Got it to replace my 15+ year old North Face backpack that finish kicked the bucket. Women's Dark Gray with light blue piping is very pretty. Looking forward to having this bag for many years to come.

Gift for my daughter. She uses it for her computer and school stuff (she's a college student)

Almost perfect. Love the look. Very comfortable. A little heavy. Would be perfect if it had a simple inside flat pocket in the inner most compartment for a wallet or passport

I have used this backpack for school everyday this year, but it is sometimes difficult to fit everything into the seemingly really big pocket that seems to stretch out. I sometimes have to shove everything in, but it does fit a lot and has a lot of pockets which I really like. It is good quality and the color is lovely.

I already have the men's Borealis; have had it for close to 5 years. I was hoping for much of the same, but this one fell short. For starters, the overall volume is smaller. Understandable, as it's configured for women's anatomy, but larger volume could be achieved by increasing depth of the backpack, which would not affect the anatomy much. Second, the new bottle pockets on the side are made of non-stretchable nylon or whatever it is, as opposed to stretchable mesh in earlier iterations. This makes the pockets much more durable, but much less voluminous. As the result, it's difficult to fit many water bottles that are not very slim. Lastly, I am not a fan of these backpack straps, as compared to previous versions. They are more stiff, less cushioned, and less breathable than before. Step in the wrong direction, in my opinion. Other than that, it's the usual high quality of the North Face, and I like the colors. Materials are also well picked, with good feel and seem to be very durable.

This is my travel backpack. It's great for bringing my laptop and essentials on the plane. I would probably like it if it was a little larger but it was on sale for a good price. It's well made and I expect I'll be using it for years to come.

This is a great high qualify backpack, a little small in storage capacity. Great laptop compartment. Best to see it in person to gauge storage capacity.

The backpack was just as pictured and has lots of room for books, laptop, etc. I use it for college and love it! Mine came without three of the tassels for the main zippers, but otherwise GREAT!

i love my book bag super easy to take anywhere i carry all my stuff for school

This is our 3rd Borealis backpack! They hold up to our kids loading them up (fully) and kick them around their lockers, bus rides, sporting events and thrown in the corner at home! Last several years before need of replacement or usually they just want a new color choice! Highly recommend!
