Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Used it for travel. Good size and organization. Sternum strap is great quality. Water resistant enough for my case. If you stuff the half pocket with a lot of stuff and not the main one it can get a little awkward. Wish it had a secret pocket somewhere. Overall gets the job done.

This backpack was a Christmas gift for our granddaughter. It will be used daily as a backpack while at college. She said it was perfect. Just what she wanted and needs.

Bought this version abut 18 months ago . Zippered separated from bag and the cord is constantly an issue. Not as well made as previous bags purchased.

Love this backpack. Good for urban travel or rural hiking.

I didn't realize I was purchasing the backpack with patches on it. Honestly, I don't even think this is the one I clicked on. Returned for the all black one.

Bought this for my daughter because her old one was finally showing signs of needing repair. Great backpack. Lasted her through high school and most of college along with many travel adventures.

Nice quality. Not as spacious as the previous version.

Room for everything, perfect for day to day or traveling. Super durable so I know I will have it a long time.

We travel between a couple different properties and this backpack is perfect to carry the essentials. Well built and lightweight.

This is the that I really wanted. Felt a lot better with trade off. I am glad that I chose the right comlpr & style!

Purchased for personal carry on for air travel. Fits great under the seat. Made well and would definitely purchase again if needed.

This backpack has a lot of space. However, I dislike that if I load the front, the backback will tip over. This makes it inconvenient for everyday use but good with travel.

Used it as a carryon and loved it.

Decent backpack with a few quirks. Positives are the bottom has a coating for durability, the side water bottle pockets are also a durable material rather than mesh, and there's a way to organize all of your essentials for school, work, or hiking. Great for any function. Some cons are that there's no way to replace the bungee system when it wears out, there's no way to secure a water bottle from sliding out the top of the pocket (I just tied some rubber bands on the bag to deal with this), and the website describes a "quick draw access for smartphone" on one of the water bottle pockets, but I've yet to figure out what this means even after talking to customer support.

Great backpack. really well made. Holds up to a lot.

I loved this backpack I thought that the computer compartment was very good the straps on the front come in handy and it seems durable and sturdy the only thing is I wish that the backpack wasn't super heavy and big I thought it'd be a lot lighter.

Fantastic backpack! I walk everywhere and do not own a car so I carry a lot with me. This is the best bag I have had and looks great! Thomas Intrieri

Bought this for my son for college. He absolutely loves it. He is able to carry his laptop and whatever books he needs with ease.

I use this as a school backpack. The only bad thing is that the straps along the water bottle holder aren't long-term sustainable, as they will slowly stretch and no longer be as effectively. The rest of the backpack is fantastic!

Great product, difficult to put my stuff in when it's in my locker. Nice pockets looks clean!

Used for school. looks great and feels good. however, one of the zippers tap seems to have gone missing and it only has been used a few months.,

I was not a fan of this backpack. It's way too small. It's not durable during a hike. I wouldn't recommend this backpack for out door activities. The straps are to small as well. It was made for a petite person.

Comfortable to wear. Not to bulky

I took this on my recent trip to the Adirondacks and it worked flawlessly. It was comfortable all day and had plenty of storage. I carried on the flight both ways and it was easy to access all the compartments. I highly recommend this pack for everyday use as well as hiking in the backwoods.
