Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Really good daily backpack. I use it to go to university on a daily basis. What sold me what the separate laptop compartment.

My daughter loves this backpack! Her old one was digging into her shoulders with all the things she hails around campus! This backpack has been so much easier for her to carry all her things without the pain!

Love the space. It's comfortable to wear. Easy access to pencils, water and computer. I use it as a high school bag, but hope to take it hiking soon!

Used the product for traveling and hiking great useful compartments

Purchased for my son who's in high school. He loves all the compartments that help him keep organized. The exterior bungee that keeps his sweater at hand is great and the side pockets can hold his hydro flask. I know it feels like a lot for a backpack but it's a one time expense (at least for 5+ years). Besides, my son thinks it's fashionably cool!

The bag is durable and well designed.

Bought this for my Son for school. They no longer have lockers so he has tons of binders, folders, Crome book etc. to carry around daily. This backpack is made out of great material, very sturdy and look great as well!

I'm a college student who goes hiking a lot and I spent like a good week looking for a new backpack and I found this one. There's so much space for everything from books to clothes and water bottles and there's even a soft layer made for me to put my laptop in. Super versatile and very efficient. Looks really sleek and active. Even though the price may be a bit daunting, it's certainly worth it in the long run.

Exceeds expectations! Love the bag!

Great bag for my son and his school supplies-including his laptop. It is comfy and roomy and was a great choice.

We bought this bag for our son for school and it works great. It fits a 13" laptop and all of his books no problem. It's also very comfortable. He is very happy.

This backpack is working great for my son's heavy textbooks and vulnerable Chromebook. The water bottle compartments accommodate multiple sizes, which is also great. (His older backpack didn't hold a Nalgene 32oz well.)

Great back support. This bag carries itself

Great backpack

Got this for my daughter for 7th grade and she loves it! I'm glad we went with this size and not the smaller size because it's just the right size. She loves that it has a whistle on it! Lots of compartments so she can have a place for everything! She doesn't seem to use her locker much so this is perfect! It will work for high school too!

The bag is so nice and comfy. It has pwrfect amount of compartments to put stuff in. Great!!

My kids rave about this backpack. It is perfect for school and a perfect carry on for when we travel. Holds up well and lasts for years.

Absolutely amazing backpack for school. It fits my 16in laptop perfectly and has ample space for all my notebooks and other necessities for school. Would 100 percent recommend for the look and the utility. Not to mention I get so many compliments because of the cool patches.

I purchased this as a school backpack for my 5th grader. He loves it. We also discovered it is the perfect size for using at the ski area - it is small and form-fitting enough to ski well with, but large enough to carry lunch, a couple extra layers, and a shovel and probe for side country.

I use this backpack as my school backpack and have also used it skiing many times. It fits all my stuff easily.

I love my new Borealis backpack! It's not too heavy and it doesn't feel too light. Just the perfect weight. I use it for work, meaning I carry my laptop, books and will throw in my headphones, chargers, etc. I have gotten may compliments, and the aesthetics look really nice. I was looking for something that was not too bulky and would still protect my computer, and this is it!!!

Got it as a gift for my Boyfriend. He uses it for school and loves it. Very supportive frame and excellent laptop sleeve. Buy this if you have a work or school device that needs to be protected. I have a similar one for myself and have used it from middle school all the way to college. Lasts forever without looking worn or beat up. Also a stylish and a nice looking backpack.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I got it but immediately started using it as a work bag and it's been amazing. Very comfortable to wear and stylish.

Spacious backpack used for school. Stylish and practical. Roomy pockets help me stay organized and have supplies readily available.

I have enjoyed the pack so far. I had a flight recently and the compression straps work really well to transport on top of my rolling suitcase. I like the front organization compartment for wallet, keys, chargers, etc. I haven't had a chance to take it out on the trail yet, but soon! I'm a wider frame guy, it fits me well. I also like having water bottles on both sides. I usually travel with my Nalgene and my Yeti Rambler.
