Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

My daughter was so excited to finally get her NorthFace backpack! Great size for a seventh grader!

Super excited for my son to use this for his senior year!

Backpack is nice, but not as roomy as i would have hoped for my 11 year old.

This backpack's quality is excellent, and it would be my top choice for any K-12 student. However, the text material on the front foam might not hold up well over time, and the zipper rubber handles feel a bit sticky. It would be better if the hold material were made of metal instead. The mountain patch inside the bag is an excellent added detail. The elevated computer compartment is a great feature, as it helps prevent laptop damage if the bag is dropped.

Great for school but could be a little bigger consider Carrying binders.

Holds all my school stuff and stand up when I need it to

I had the old version for the last 5+ years. Really preferred the compression straps on the side, the front pocket (new one is hard to access) and the old bungee setup on the front.
