Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

It's a great bag - would like more choices like larger backpacks (29+ Liters) because this style is great but can be a little small when adding binders and computers.

My daughter was so excited to finally get her NorthFace backpack! Great size for a seventh grader!

So far so good. My 7th grader doesn't get to use a locker at school so she has to carry all her books, binders, notebooks and iPad around every single day. Last year we bought a cheaper backpack and the bottom ripped out within three months. This year we invested in a better backpack and the Borealis backpack fits all her books, notebooks, binders, and iPad with room to spare. She says it's comfortable and cute, so we are happy customers.

This is the replacement for exact bag last year. She wanted to get a new one to start the year, but the old one still has some wear in it. It was washed once and still looks good. Worth the money because the backpack is so durable.

Love this backpack!! This perfect for my middle schooler. She has room for all her books, notebooks, and more.

The color is beautiful and the size is perfect. My daughter is excited to carry this backpack at school this year.

This is the fifth backpack that I have purchased for my kids through Northface. Very good quality and roomy. Also, like the side pockets for the water bottles. They have been mesh before and not held up. Thank you for the improvements and will order in the future

Great backpack. Perfect size and functional pockets. My 8th grade daughter and 10th grade son both have the same style. Awesome color options and washes well! Worth every penny!

good amount of space

Great purchase! Happy with the size too. Color is just as you see online.

Beautiful Backpack. Great size!

WIsh the fabric expanded more, and that the water bottle pocket on the sides were more expandable/larger. The water bottle pocket does not fit large bottles.

Mostly awesome. It seems really well made and like it will last a long time. The only short coming is that its less spacious than I expected- it fits my work laptop but it takes some tugging on the zippers. I can fit my purse, lunch box, and water bottle- but thats it. No hope for adding umbrella, cardigan, hat, etc etc. Serves most of my purposes and seems like a relatively good value for price.

This backpack is definitely a backpack. Truthfully i don't really know if it is worth the price, however I have only been using it for a week. I think the price of the backpack can be seen in durability and the fact that it is water resistant. The design of the backpack makes it feel like it isn't very spacious, but it can hold a good amount of things, but everything is very squished

Love it. I use it for work

It's a nice backpack , just small. I hope it works for camp and 9th grade HS year.

Well built, lots of pockets. One minor complaint is that I wish it expanded just a little more. With the bungees, I thought they would be a little more functional; so you could have a 'bigger' pack when needed, and the ties would compress it when not. I was hoping to use it more for travel, and less for work, but for work it will be good.

Love the color! Tons of storage space and pockets of different sizes inside, including a place for a laptop. Soft cushioning on your back makes it comfy to carry. Perfect for my college student!

Must have! Practical holds tons and comfortable!

I love the product. It had a lot of room to store all my things and is great for school or traveling. However I wish I'd had more room is the water bottle pockets and a water bottle is a little hard to fit into it

I previously had the Jester for the past couple of years, until my dog chewed on the straps. I am very glad I spent a little more on the Borealis. It is stiffer and so stands up and isn't constantly tipping over like my old backpack did. I love all the pockets and it is really cute. My only complaint is that there are no retention holders for loose straps, and there are a lot of straps. So the extra lengths are always just hanging and flapping around. Really annoying because I sometimes wear this on my motorcycle and I can't have a loose strap dangling near my wheels like that.

Recent purchase for granddaughter heading off to college. It is a replacement for the same brand I purchased for her in eighth grade. The original is still in great condition, only slightly soiled over the years. A real testament to the quality and durability of this product. Would definitely recommend!

Firstly, the bag is so beautiful in real life and such a gorgeous colour. Secondly it is very well made and has got to many compartments! The bag is well compact so even if you do stuff things in some compartments and not others, then the back still feels the same on your back and doesn't bulge into your spine which is amazing. I'm hoping this bag will last many years :)

Love the color and pretty good space to just if you have a big water bottle beware small water bottle pocket
