Customer Reviews The North Face Women's Borealis

For my high school-aged daughter. Ample room for notebooks, laptop and some textbooks. Comfortable on her back. She loves the design. Only negative - arrived with side pocket tears so we patched it.

This would have definitely been a 5-star review. We purchased for my daughter's school bag. Lots of room for all her notebooks, laptop and some textbooks. Fits well to her back and she hasn't complained of back pain yet. The only negative we experienced (and it might be due to material type) was the bag arrived with tears in the side pocket where she would normally have her water bottle. We've patched it, but it hasn't prevented us thinking about purchasing another bag for travel.

A little smaller than I expected but great for school.

Fabulous backpack and just beautiful BUT if you're expecting the same size as the old Borealis, you're in for disappointment. This bag is considerably smaller. It has a lot less space inside, and will not work for middle schoolers/high schoolers much anymore. I had to move up to the Recon!

My daughter uses this backpack for school. She in in middle school and is required to carry her computer and 2.5 inch binder with pens etc throughout the day. This back pack gives her enough space to carry her computer, binder, pencil case, notes and lunch bag.

My daughter wanted this backpack for high school. The backpack has plenty of space and pockets for everything she needs. The color is nice and the bag seems pretty durable. Overall very happy with the purchase

I use my NORTHFACE back pack every day for school and I LOVE it! Great purchase!

in love with my new school bag, I love the color and it has lots of cushion on the straps and back. very comfortable on my back while walking to school! Thank you NORTHFACE!

My daughter loves the backpack. She has a lot of books and a laptops so it's a bit tight but overall a great find!

This backpack is superb in quality. It is big enough to hold the kids binders for school but it is not enormous. It fits comfortably on my 10th grader.

Purchased this backpack for my daughter for her junior of high school. The backpack is designed to hold a laptop and other stuff. We could not get her small lunch bag inside with a small amount of basic folders. This bag is extremely stiff and does not offer any flexibility to hold school supplies.

Using for first year of high school. My daughter loves your products and we have heard that the backpacks are very well made and can be used for years. We are exited about that. She was so happy when she opened the package and saw I got her her "dream back pack"!!!!!!!! :)

Perfect backpack for my middle schooler. Plenty of room and pockets for all her things, including large water bottles. She is able to stick a jacket or sweatshirt in the elastic on the back too! Love.

Very nice quality but kind of small for daughter going into high school.

I love my white bookbag! White is a great color, I love how many compartments it has i no longer have to carry my binder anymore because it can fit in the bookbag it also fits my lunchbox. Having all the stuff in my bookbag is heavy but I don't have to worry about the weight giving me back pain because of the back pads on the back of the bookbag. I also find extremely helpful with the special area just for laptops so your laptop is protected and also separated from the other compartments so I know my laptop is protected all day. The sides of the bookbag also have 2 pockets for water bottles at first I didn't think it would fit but i realized it can extend so it can fit any water bottle!

i like it. wish it accomdated meals better.

I like the backpack but it is annoying that I have to put my meals at the bottom then my books. If i try to put my books first then my food, the bag wont close. I am a little nervous about if the straps will break one day. Its a backpack.

I use it for school and it's the perfect size! It fits all my stuff and has perfect pockets on the sides for water bottles or sports things. It also looks cool and goes with all my outfits- not too fancy, not too sporty.

Fits well, but a little smaller than expected. Was caught in terrible downpour which kept most of my belongings completely dry (especially my computer) a small number of notecard kept in front of backpack and some notebooks were damp, but not a total loss

Bought this for my granddaughter. She absolutely loves it. Perfect size for school!!

Nice and sturdy with a lot compartments.

Purchased for a high schooler. Great Quality. Lots of pockets. Cushioned Pocket for Chromebook. Not very wide. Cannot fit many binders/notebooks. Cannot fit a lunch bag with other school items inside.

My child is in High school and uses this backpack. It holds a lot and it is very durable.

I have been buying this bag for my daughter since 9th grade. I didn't need to buy her another one since the first one is in excellent shape. Yet I wants to celebrate her new auditing life at college and bought her the cream color bag. Mom gets the other one- repurpose! Fit is great, comfortable and many many pockets all lines a some padded.

I've used this product for school so far. I love the durability and amount of pockets. The only bad things are out of mine or the creators control because the color of the backpack allows it to get dirty very easily. Also the size is small but it's part of the kind of backpack I got. Otherwise great
