Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Luxe

Perfect for college! Can carry a lot, while remaining comfortable. We will have to see durability with time.

It is a good backpack for school but it cant fit everything and there are a lot of pockets just in the top half so it looks odd and falls over constantly. Overall a good backpack but probably better options.

My wife is a second grade school teacher and a bit of a packrat. Shes as rough on bags as the worst of her students. I got her one of those trendy Lovelook girls backpacks 3 years ago which she loved, but the shoulder strap is already ripped to the point where it was hanging by a thread. My sister got me a Borealis (classic) backpack when I was in law school, something like 10 years ago before it was "classic" and its still kicking. Best bag ive ever owned and Ive had my share throughout the years. Her favorite color is purple, and this was the perfect fit. She loves it, and its got plenty of space for her. Im not sure that the premium price tag for the "luxe" extras are worth it, but it was the only way to get the bag in purple...worth it!

It distributes the weight well and packs in a lot but it doesn't have good balance to just sit up when not on my back and the straps are very long so tail behind a lot; without shoulder tie it tends to fall off one shoulder; not water proof and when coffee spilled it seeped into the bag and stained my papers; I like the black color less than the other hues

Love it but smaller space inside

Good four compartments. One for laptop and papers nicely padded. One for everything then one for small items. Last one for easy access such as cords. Chargers. Lights. Wonder how it goes when put in washing and drying machines . Great color. Especially in the dark. Received many compliments. Trying not to use full capacity though.

I use this pack for work and so far it's been great. I love the laptop compartment, feels very secure. The ability to expand the pack is great. Only downside is it is a little stiff but hoping it loosens up with more use.

Bought this for my daughter. She loves it. Durable material. My only complaint is the bungee on the side pocket came out easily.

Great bookbag that holds all of my items for class. Very durable as well with multiple compartments for my laptop, notebook, and folders.

My daughter uses this bag at middle school. She likes it but wishes it had more room.

My daughter is in 8th grade and is using this as her school backpack. She loves how it looks. It has a decent amount of space to carry her binders and notebooks. The water bottle pockets are pretty snug, I wish they were bigger.

Great backpack! Plenty of room for everything and a quality product! They stand by their backpacks. I have owe several and they never disappoint!

Feels very good on my back and definitely glad I got the larger size. Hard to prop up beside my desk though it always falls over.

Good looking and versatile! Great for my college classes. Love the color and design!

Perfect size for a busy Freshman! Excellent quality.

My 6th grade granddaughter love it. She has lots of heavy books and can distribute them easily in this bag. She also loves all the compartments. I thought white color would get dirty easily but after a months use it still looked new

First purchased the Jester for my daughter for school, it was tiny... returned it. Then purchased this one, since it was "supposed" to have 6L more space.... it felt even smaller... returned as well

I wish that the lines or laces were purple and the logo to. I tried to fined one that has that but I cant find one thats similar i just hope that they make that. Other than that the backpack is GOOD.

I use this product in high school, likely college, and travel too. It is almost perfect. The bags need to be as waterproof as possible for bad weather walking days and it has right much umph to it, as in weight. I understand this is a necessity for its durability but it only got 4 stars as would all the backpacks I see because when you add the Chromebook and the iPad and coat and folders and all the other stuff for gym or lunch, snacks, water, etc. it is a heavy pack. I'm 5'10" and 175 lbs

Great size, quality, look. Love it!

This backpack is sturdy with good pockets. As a parent I wish that the main compartment was a little larger to fit all of my child's belongings for school. It seems to be tight or more fitted than some more traditional backpacks. However, everything else is great with this bag and both my children like the style.

Daughter uses it for school. It seems like it's built to last. I sprayed it with protectant before she used it to keep the stains away.

My granddaughter uses it every day for her middle school classes. It fits all her needs!

The Borealis Luxe Backpack is a great size for my Middle School student. We had an issue with the cord breaking on arrival. Customer service was amazing and expedited a new backpack, allowing my daughter to not be without one while a new one arrives.

I bought it for my daughter to go to school. She loves it. The material is good and durable.
