Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

Perfect size! I purchased this after having traveled internationally last month and really having wished I brought a backpack rather than a "trendy" weekender bag as my personal carry-on item. This fits a lot, keeps my phone, water bottle and sunglasses easily accessible while also still easily accommodating a tablet, book, pair of shoes, change of clothes and toiletry bag. The light grey color is more fun than solid black and- so far- doesn't seem to show dirt

I ordered this backpack for my grandson's birthday per his request. He was very specific about what features the backpack should have and he was thrilled to receive it for the first day of middle school.

Laptop pocket is well-designed and functional, straps are comfortable, but front pockets make the pack a little top heavy

great backpack. did not like the multiple string shanging in the back, but was able to remove them so it was fine. It does not have a laptop sleeve.

The bag it self is heavy a lighter would've been better. I'm the middle side transversely it's more narrower and compact there for I have push through it to put something all the way down.

True to size and description. Will be using for short hikes in the mountains and for everyday commute.

I was a little leery about ordering online without seeing the item. I reviewed some of the reviews and decided to order. I was not disappointed. The quality is more than I expected. I purchased this for my granddaughter for school and it was a big hit! She was so excited and said it was exactly what she wanted. She also said it's so comfortable to wear and has lots of space. She also loves thats it's rain resistant. I highly recommend this item.

Bought this for my college freshman. She loves it! Perfect for all she needs to take to class, including snacks.

Purchased for high school age grandson. Very sturdy and well made!

Bought this for my granddaughter who is a junior in high school. She loves it. Well made and plenty of pockets!

The fit is great, however the color isn't quite what I was imagining. I was thinking it would be more chocolate brown, instead it has more of a green tint.

I have an excited high school freshman ready to update his backpack. We compared a few backpacks and narrowed it down to Jester and Borealis. Both were solid, similar in size and in the end, he liked the features of Borealis and its function for what he needed. We are a few weeks into the year and I just asked him if he is still happy with his choice and likes that he can overpack if needed and it was light enough to haul around the school. For the win!

Great backpack. Very roomy and high quality!

Exactly what I needed! Just perfect!

My daughter loves this for school. So many pockets to keep all her essentials, so no need for a purse. Great quality of course!!!

This was purchased for my 13 year old bonus daughter. She loves it! It's sturdy, has tons of pockets and you can tell us major quality. I felt it was pretty large for a middle school back pack but what the heck do I know about the middle school girl aesthetic??!? She promises to use it as a travel bag as well, in that case, a great, multi-use and lasting purchase.

It is a great book bag especially if you don't want to buy one year after year. All three of my kids have this book bag. My oldest has had for 4 years and still is holding up beautifully. He got it his senior year and is now a Jr in college. My other son has had it for two years (highschool) and my youngest for 1 year (middle school). So nice to spend just a little more and have for years ahead!

This product is being used as a college backpack. It has plenty of pockets and compartments. It has a sleeve for a computer and water bottle. The only drawback is that it did not seem to sit straight when put on the ground.

I have used this product for a while now and i wanted to upgrade by existing bag which is the same product with this cool new colorway and hence i bought this. if you're going fot tnf then you know quality is never an issue and its the same here! highly recommended

Straps a little too hard and dig into shoulders but loves it overall. Lots of space for all his needs

Purchased this backpack for my grandson's freshman year of high school. Very well made!

Using this backpack for college. Perfect size. Plenty of compartments.

Looks great. It's easy & comfortable to carry even when packed to the fullest! Love that it will stay opened and standing as I remove & take things out out it.
