Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

I mostly use this backpack for work.. I work in Maintenance. I'd like to see more space inside this back. I put my iPad, cosmetic bag, and a few other personal items.

I use this backpack for school. It's honestly perfect for the most part other than the second buckle at the bottom of the backpack. It's bothering.

The backpack is nice but it would be better if the front pocket is a little deeper.

My son loves this backpack. He has been using it for college.

My son is extremely happy with my purchase! Exactly as described and appears to be very durable which is exactly what he needs!

I love the sturdiness of this backpack. It is the perfect backpack to be taking around campus and has plenty of room for all my stuff. I was happy to be able to fit my 16-inch laptop in here.

Really comfortable for traveling and sturdy enough to handle a moderate hike. Only thing is that it's not as waterproof as I expected (absorbs a bit of water from underneath), other than that, a good purchase. Also color is great.

I purchased this bag for camping and day trip needs. Its a great backup with a lot of room, various pockets for different items, very comfortable, a love the color and design!

very small . Borealis classic is way better

This backpack exceeded our expectations. My son is using it for college. He was using a crossbody bag and it started hurting his shoulder so we bought this and it took the pain away. He also has enough room on side to carry his stanley water bottle. You can tell its built to last. Highly recommend.

We purchased this pack for my daughter to use for school. Six days after she started carrying the pack, the sewing on the shoulder strap came undone causing the strap to fail. Now we get to wait 6-8 weeks for our pack to be returned from warranty. I would not purchase this bag if you want durability.

Good everyday backpack. The small top pouch can get too full and make the backpack top heavy if not fully packed.

Used for high school. Not bulky has a sleek look to it. And like that it's rain tolerant. My son likes how easy it is.

I've seen these bags my whole life but I always ignored them because I wanted to be different. I recently started college and I've been getting into the outdoors more so I finally decided I'd finally try the borealis out. Immediately I was blown away by how comfortable the bag is. When walking on campus you need a bag that has good support for heavy books. The borealis had room for all the books can support the weight and is still comfortable when full. I love that some pockets are lined with a soft material to keep electronics scratch free. The hydration pack/computer pocket feels extremely safe I don't worry about my Mac at all when it's in my bag. Now that I own the bag I can see exactly why they're so popular.

Great backpack; only wrinkle is that the bottom seem narrower than top portion and experiencing issues with putting items in.

The bag is great quality but little heavy itself.

Bought this for my granddaughter who is a senior in high school. She assures me it will last her well into her college years! Great product!

I use it for school, the straps aren't togood as i had to replace one after a year of use due to a broken strap

It's the perfect backpack for a busy high school junior! Roomy, light, but with great pockets and storage!

My son loves his backpack. He is using it at college to haul books, laptop, etc. He likes the size and the compartments.

This one hit me up the highest peak in Texas! I almost ran out of water and had gramps but hobbled to the end. Well done NorthFace.

Have had a north face backpack for about 7 years for traveling, wouldn't go any other brand for my traveling needs

Very sturdy and robust, simple zippers, comfortable straps. I do wish there were some internal pockets in the larger sections.

Great quality. Fine finished. Zippers seem they will last and endure many years. 4 stars because I thought that it was more roomy than what it actually is. Other than that, it is great but. Price is ok. I don't think my son will need a new bagpack in couple of years to come.
