Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

It is a great study backpack. This is our second.

My daughter loves her backpack! It's perfect!!

Gift for my granddaughter she has been asking for a long time for this backpack. It is fantastic She won't stop smiling

This will be a gift for granddaughter. She lives Northface and we have found it is very durable while it looks stylish and what they all want.

love this bag! only thing is i wouldn't recommend the white color because it gets dirty very easily! other than that love the bag though

It's perfect when I travel. it hold so much and is not heavy.

I use this for school, and it's really sturdy and comfortable. The only issue I have with it is that it's a little smaller than I thought. I can fit everything I need, but it's pretty tight.

I use this product for school. While I do love it and its functionality, the string on the outside broke after about 2-3 months of use. I think it just came out of the hole that is in the inner part by the water bottle sleeve, but to pay this much for a backpack and for that to happen is a bit annoying.

It's great and holds a lot of space and is very adjustable, have mixed feelings of the soft fabric inside however it's a great purchase!

I got this backpack right before I started school. It has held up well and I love that it has a padded laptop pocket and organization pocket! (I put my kindle in the pocket that is supposed to hold an iPad) The only things I would ask you to change is the two pockets farthest away from yourself is hard because if you put something chunky in one of the pockets it is hard for you to put something in the other one like keys or something. Maybe other people would not have a problem with the keys part because I have a lot of keychains on mine :). Also, I don't really use the bungees... seems like they are just there for show? But I have seen people put lunches and stuff in there. Otherwise, I love this backpack and would totally recommend!

Love my new backpack! The White Metallic Melange/Mid Grey color is so nice. I'm glad NF upgraded the side pockets to fabric vs. the netting I had on my last backpack. The netting always tore and ultimately didn't work. Pocket could be a little larger to fit my larger water bottle. Overall, I am very happy with the product

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL BAG!!!!! THE BABY PINK TONE IS SO NICE!!! I added my floral Hawaii hair clip on the front white/ cream strings and it looks even cuter! The arm straps are so good and it's a really good college backpack fits my hydro flask and Stanley cup! TOTALLY RECOMMEND SO CUTEEEEEE!

This backpack is well made and durable. My 4th grader uses it as her school bag and it's just big enough. It was the one she wanted so I got it for her but I would have preferred something a little larger.

i got the borealis for academia. it was surprisingly stiff at first but after wearing it for a while, it feels more comfortable. it's light design makes it easier to carry laptops and books and the material feels durable.

So Far so good.

I love the color but the 3rd pocket from the back is just weird. It makes the backpack really top heavy. And the inside of it also kind of sucks. Inside is a big pocket, then on top a zipper pocket and a smaller pockets. I wish the big one had a zipper because when you open up the big compartment it is just stuck open and it's hard to get to the smaller pockets that are on the side of it. I hate using the third compartment and the small pockets for lip balms and etc bc everything is so hard to get to. I don't understand it. I also can't for a lunchbox in it. It is super inefficient and annoys me daily. Other than that I like how it looks in terms of color. If the jester in this color comes back into stock I will probably just get that.

Seriously! Why is it so small? Take it to school and all your stuff gets smushed together from lack of space. Takes you a million years to get anything out because it hardly fits in the first place!!!

My daughter uses this bag for 6th grade. She LOVES it! As a parent, I'm on the fence. It is narrow and deep, meaning that you can get a lot of stuff in there, but you have to think strategically. The deep water bottle pocket is nice. Running shoes can fit if turned sideways and pushed to bottom. Her school is using a large 2.5 inch binder for organization and she cannot easily get that in and out. It *could* fit, snuggly, but to save the trouble since she uses it each class, she just carries it. Soooo, she carries her backpack for basics, then holds her binder and clarinet.

I love the water bottle pocket and the ability to fit so many things inside it.

Greta size and stylish. I love the quality of the north face products.

Very nice backpack, however the smaller female profile makes it hard to fit computer, folders, and books for school.
