Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

I gifted this backpack to my granddaughter to use for her studies at college. She absolutely loves it. It is well designed, sturdy, a popular style and is meeting all of her needs.

My daughter absolutely LOVES this backpack. Durable and spacious!

I bought this for high school and it's very tall and spacious. The bag is pretty and feels like the material would be good in rain. The organization pocket does look bulky if you fill it and sticks out into the main pocket a bit. I try to fill the awkward space at the bottom with snacks. It wouldn't be a problem for someone who doesn't use the organization as much.

Great backpack for my middle schooler! Stylist, solid and great for school.

I use this this backpack to commute to work several times a week. I can fit a 16" laptop, notebook, packed lunch and snacks, travel mug, and other small tech odds and ends, this backpack has great storage with all of its pockets. However as others have mentioned, the front compartment doesn't expand, creating some rigidity in the second compartment and making it hard to fit bulkier items. The laptop compartment is excellent and very secure. With the amount of storage and padding for the laptop compartment though, this backpack can get very heavy and a bit unpleasant to haul around.

My daughter loves her backpack. The separate compartments are great!

We purchased this for our daughter for school. After having other backpacks fall a part on us, we wanted one that will last. This seems like it will. The handles and straps are solidly attached. I love that there is a separate compartment for her to bring her computer back and forth, but still have enough space for her lunch and whatever else she needs to bring. It also helps that it is pink. Overall, I would buy this again.

Great for school, but a little narrow to carry even 2 binders. Otherwise great backpack

too small for high school student without a locker. oddly big up top and small down bottom

Love it although it is a bit top heavy due to the two pockets that sit only on the top area.

I LOVE all the pockets on this bag, my daughter got the teal ish blue one. It great for her bc she doesn't have to carry much to school but if you need a binder and books it might be a little small. She carries her lunchbox and Chromebook in it. It it had books or a binder I don't think her lunch would fit. Water bottle pockets are high which is nice, not for Stanley's obviously but fine for normal sized water bottles.

Purchased for my daughters for college. Well make and stylish, however they do not hold many of their books.

Great for my daughter, junior in high school. She loves the organization - not too many pockets and not too few. So far it is very functional and stylish from her perspective.

School backpack, perfect for laptop and other back to school essentials. Superior quality.

good for school but a little small if u have mire than two binders p much. this is my second borealis but my first women's one and it's noticeably smaller than the men's but it's fine. i'm salty i had to buy a new one because all the zipper pulls broke off and the inside lining had a bunch of big holes and north face wouldn't even replace the zipper pulls which is literally js knotted on. but it's waterproof and sturdy otherwise and i liked it enough to replace

Bought this backpack for college and so far I love everything! I will say it's not as big as I thought, but the compartments in this backpack are super useful. Overall, great backpack and it's very comfortable.

The quality of the backpack is REALLY nice. It has a good reinforced back and straps. It's just not that spacious if you carry a lot of books. And the weight distribution is kinda off. But other than that it's worth the money!

Beautiful and durable backpack. Lots of room!

My granddaughter loved the styling, the many pockets, it's lightweight and size. She has had a similar one before and wanted this style again.

No complaints! My daughter lives it for high school!!

Only negative if little front pocket doesn't give access to the bottom of the biggest pocket If full

Really great quality but thinner than expected. Not able to put anything extra besides books and laptop.

I love the material and the quality of this bag. The only thing I do not like is how small the compartments are. If the bag had a bit more space it would've been 5/5 starts
