Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I bought this for my son to use in high school. He really likes it. He said it has a lot of pockets and is very comfortable to wear.

I llove the vibrant teal of this because it will hide all dings and dirt. I've washed my previous one in a lighter color and that one is like new now. This purchase was to give me a change up in color!

shopping for groceries laundry to work for traveling used as a carry on everyday used and so on love i bought it for my son since 1990's it's last forever good product lightweight excellent backpacking

I purchased the North Face Borealis Backpack on 10/15/2025, and it has exceeded every expectation. The build quality is outstanding the materials feel durable and reliable, and the stitching and zippers are noticeably well-made. The front bungee system is extremely handy for quick storage, and the internal compartments are perfectly organized for daily use. The shoulder straps and back panel are very comfortable, even when the bag is fully packed. I use it for work, travel, and the gym, and it handles everything without showing any wear. The padding protects my laptop, and the side pockets fit bottles securely without stretching out. Overall, this backpack is a perfect blend of function, comfort, and durability. If you need a dependable everyday bag, the Borealis is absolutely worth it.

This is my third Borealis Backpack. I still love it when I travel.

My son love this backpack!! He says the compartments and sizing is what he loves most!!! He's had more than a few backpacks and says that this is the BEST one by far!!!

I like how comfortable it is and has a lot of space.

It's soooo much better than my last mochilla. I highly recommend it.

This works very well as a travel backpack with plenty of room and compartments.

Great bag. Use it every day for school and general use. would highly recommend

So far so good. Take stethoscope and clipboard to work. Yeti on the side for water.

My husband loved this as a carry on

I bought this backpack because my back was hurting a lot with my previous bag from another company. This bag is saving my back. the fact that the back of the backpack is a harder material makes the backpack stay upright and helps to distribute the weight of the things in the backpack more easily. I also love all the compartments inside that help organize my stuff. Also, their are two straps to tie it in front of you and it also helps distribute the weight of the back more eavenly so my shoulders and back don't feel so much pain. The color was even prettier in real life.

Love the patches

Great backpack Lots of room

fantastic travel backpack. Great in airport, great on plane, Great to use for day excursions once at destination.

These backpacks last for years. We are on our third for our high schooler. We bought our first one in Kinder!

Great look

i have had the mini borealis for years and i love it! since getting into hiking i needed something with more space and this was the perfect choice!

Listen, I've had relationships that lasted shorter than my commitment to this backpack. This isn't just a backpackit's a portable organizational utopia. The FlexVent suspension system hugs my back like it's apologizing for every uncomfortable bag I've ever owned. Those padded shoulder straps? Chef's kiss. I've carried this beast through airports, hiking trails, and aggressive subway commutes, and my spine still thinks I'm 22. The front elastic bungee cord is my spirit animal. Wet jacket? Throw it on there. Impulse grocery purchase? Strap it down. It's like having a tiny, extremely efficient roadie following you around. Can we talk about the pockets? FIFTEEN organizational pockets. I found my sunglasses from 2022 in one of them (okay, that's on me, but still). The fleece-lined laptop sleeve treats my computer better than I treat myself. The side water bottle pockets actually HOLD water bottles without ejecting them onto the pavementrevolutionary concept, I know. At 28 liters, it's the Goldilocks of backpacks: not too big, not too small, just right for pretending you have your life together. Whether you're a student, commuter, or professional mess like me, the Borealis doesn't judgeit just performs. Worth. Every. Penny.

GREAT backpack, lots of space/room for everything I need. Well worth the investment!

I use it for school and work (i never leave home feeling like i left something). It's great for carrying all for tools and accessories that you use for tech. I wish it had a water bottle clip, size not ideal for big bottles

I never leave the house feeling like I left something as everything was packed from the moment I got it.

I use it for fishing, camping, school, and everything else. It was waterproof enough to keep my stuff dry while fishing.

Great quality as usual.
