Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

it's good and durable

I am in love with this bag, I use it for school and everyday use from work to home. It has a ton of space, dividers that make keeping things organized easy and simple, along with a safe spot to store your laptop. It is very well made, and has comfortable cushions on the back of the bag that help to comfort your back.

The Borealis backpack exceeded my expectations, especially at the price point. It has features galore. My favorites being the soft goggle pouch, high quality smooth zippers, vertically adjustable torso straps, and pack compressions straps to shrink the overall size of the back when not full. Very impressed with this bag. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice day use and or overnight backpack.

Very sleek and comfortable fits my 17 inch labtop and my hiking gear.

Great size and color, lots of pockets to store items. Stays dry when it rains. I highly recommend it to others.

My son uses this backpack for school & he said it's the most comfortable one he's ever had!

Backpack fits extremely well. There are so many straps to adjust it to however you need to fit/ how much you have in it. It checked as my free bag on an airplane too! It has a bunch of pockets without being to overwhelming. It is decently water resistant too, it got rained on and held up very well. It is extremely durable, I beat the heck out of it backpacking in Central America. It is very comfortable and light weight. Also it's super cute. I don't know if I would change anything about it.

I've had this pack for a couple of months now. It's used as everyday work pack during the week and I do moderate hiking on the weekend. It fits everything that I need and keeps it close to the body. I'm not a super huge man, but I have pretty broad shoulders, and this fits well and rides comfortably.

I love the products. It's great good quality and last longer for my kids.

I love North Face backpacks, especially the Borelis. I've owned two in the past. This is my third. I wear them to the ground. This one is bit different than the previous two. I wish the front pocket was deeper. The front pocket is only half pocket so it gets really top heavy and tips over. The material is also a tad different. Thankfully, it serves my daily commute purpose and I recently took it on a vacation and it was extremely comfortable. I would recommend purchasing from travel and daily use.

Really good bookbag that is large enough for weekend trips or hikes, while also being super useful for work and school. I like the navy blue color and all the different pocket sizes make it a breeze to organize.

Backpack used for high school books. nice feel, good size. won't hold school lunch in addition, but none of previous backpacks did. good looking, easy to use, and fits computer nicely.

It's my son's upgrade he's had the same north face backpack since kindergarten so now he's In 6th grade it was time for a upgrade to a bigger one .. I was able to give the other one to other person.. if your looking to not have to buy a backpack every year then get you a north face

Great bag. Laptop fits perfectly and great for commuting.

Great for work and travel.

This is the first North Face bag I've bought and I've been using it for school and day-to day life so it already seen a lot of use in the few weeks I've had it. I got this because it seemed to have good organization and it indeed does hold all of my smaller things a lot more organized than my previous backpack. I must also say that the comfort of this bag is unmatched from my personal experience. I can load this backpack up heavier than the one I had before, and it would still feel lighter to the great support it has and the chest/waist straps only increase the support. I also really like the design on this particular bag with the patches. I expect this bag to last me the rest of my college life. Would highly recommend.

Great for everything I need

Great bag, really good storage it holds everything i need it is light and comfortable. All around great bag

Fantastic bag, and very spacious especially for traveling. Highly recommend!

I use this to haul my running and hiking gear. Also, a great carry on! I love this bag! The patches are such a cool look as well! Way to go, North Face!!!!

My daughter uses this backpack for school. We only just replaced her previous Borealis (5 years on) due to a broken zipper. However, the rest of the backpack was in great shape - shame we could not replace the zipper! Color is on trend and capacity perfect for a high schooler toting books and computer.

Great product

My teenager wanted this backpack for school and it works great. He is also planning to use it for overnight trips, etc. It has great storage space, room for his laptop and is comfortable.

Used as a backpack for high school. Lots of books and other items that didn't fit in previous backpack. Everything fit very well in this one! Altogether, items weigh a lot and can be uncomfortable to haul around. This backpack distributes weight very well.

Really like the dual bottle holders. They bungee front is great for a second pair of shoes.
