Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Got this for my everyday college backpack. The laptop compartment is perfectly sized, the backpack has a lot better structure than I was expecting, so it keeps everything organized. I can fit everything I need and more for school while also being able to use this for trips, hikes, and other adventures!

Well made, comfortable, colorful backpack, that I filled with some hiking essentials for Iceland. Perfect zippered sections for chargers, headlamp, layers of clothes, sneakers, snacks, and other personal items. Fit water bottles in each side pockets. Wish the backpack came with a cover but it did bring me good luck seeing the Aurora Borealis in Iceland:)

Great backpack and amazing functionality

Great college backpack for both guys and girls. Has plenty of room for all of my stuff.

I use this backpack everyday for everything. It goes to work, on vacation, hiking, etc.

Love it. Use it for work everyday.

Purchased one for each of our college-age students! The primary reason was the waterproof feature, to keep their laptops, and iPads safe in severe weather. This was the style recommended by the other parents

Very happy the Borealis pack has been redesigned. The original design was way too stiff in the back support & was also too heavy for a daypack. I like the addition of the expansion pocket on the bottom. I will be using this pack for hikes, weekend camping & kayaking.

I bought this to take to the gym for my water bottle, phone, keys, etc. The soft upper pocket is perfect for my glasses. Bag is perfect size and has room to store my sweatshirt when I get hot and separated pockets to organize my gear. Great purchase.

Resourceful yet perfect fit for day travels in the woods or off to the classroom

This is one of the best products I have ever purchased. It first and foremost fits to my back swimmingly which results in no more back pain. Additionally, the plethora of pockets and compartments allows me to store everything I need to hike, snowboard, or simply go to school! Great product will definitely buy again.

What an awesome backpack! Great high quality.

Nice pack, good quality , just what I need for day trips/hikes.

First time buying this bag. And it was delivered to me really quick. Like one day delivery which is amazing. And the bag too is cool. Has a lot of space inside. And im really excited to use this abroad soon for my summer activity. The materials are well made and craftsmanship is phenomenal. The sutures are tight and intact and the back strap is comfortable. I think it will last with me a long time. And by the way I was so stoked with this that I ordered another one: jester for my everyday backpack to work.

Very useful backpack.

I purchased this backpack for my son for school. He carries many books and a tablet. Previous backpacks ripped or fell apart. The Borealis Backpack is both durable and stylish at the same time. A bit pricey but definitely worth the money.

I love it

Best backpack for college! Super comfortable and sturdy. A lot of storage space, which is nice for my laptop and notebooks. I know this backpack will last me years to come.

Use everyday highly recommended my jester lasted more than 20 years and is still fine give it to my niece, and she takes it to school every day. They are really durable and will last you many years to come.

Love the color. A lot of space and a lot of pockets. Can't wait to use it for hiking.

Bungee system is great, especially the ability to unsnap bungees in the middle, which seems to be missing from other backpacks with bungees. Excellent quality and comfort. Some missed opportunities for organization with no additional pockets in main compartment or laptop compartment. This is also not the "tidiest" backpack - lots of loose strap ends hang like an octopus. Nevertheless, this is an excellent bag.

This is my daily carry bag. Large enough to carry all my items as well as a good sized day pack. Very durable and easy to access. Still small enough to not be a cumbersome item tagging along all day.

Son loves this backpack, it's his second one- different color. So many pockets to keep everything organized and being a boy he needs help with all things organized!

Very sturdy with lots of spaces.

Very useful, practical, and comfortable. The bungee system on this is the best I've encountered. If I had to criticize something there are a few missed opportunities for organization here and there, and the number of long dangling straps make this backpack somewhat of an "octopus" at times.
