Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis

This works great for my son at school.

I got this for my daughter for Christmas. She is a Junior in high school and getting ready for her Senior year. She was adamant that she wanted North Face. I did not think brand made a difference, until we got the back pack. Once you see in person you can see the quality and with all the various compartments for laptop, books, calculator, cell phone, etc. are great. This back pack definitely exceeded my expectations. I will probably need to get her another one when she is ready for college, but it will definitely be a North Face.

This meets all the requirements we were looking for in a backpack!

It's great quality, and let's you organize a lot. I was expecting it to be a little bit bigger. It's a good size though

For school, very comfortable to carry.

Will be used for carrying computer and books.

Backpack isn't too big, it has lots of space, and it's very durable.

Hope it makes it through a few years of Middle School!

I love the look and feel of this back pack. It is just the right size for me and is great as a overnight bag.

I liked it but I switched to an old version of it it's too much details and stuff for an everyday bag,

I use it for school and my laptop fits which is 15". However I don't use it for travel because I put a lot of things in my backpack & this backpack doesn't provide lots of space for much. Only things like straight slender & small can fit.

I am a college student, so I use my backpack pretty much all day everyday. This back pack has a lot of space, is super comfortable when having to walk miles with books, and I love the interior as much as I love how it looks on the exterior. The only issue I have is that I got this back pack two weeks ago and it already has rips/holes in the side water bottle holders. For the price, it doesn't seem like they pick the best material for that part of the back pack since it is on the exterior sides. Overall, I love this back pack a lot. I was just disappointed when I realized that I would continue to have problems with holes for the rest of my time using it.

Verry nice, a little bit to heavy and wide. lots of space

great bookbag. has lots of pockets and space for everything

I use this for work and even though i haven't taken it on a hike yet, a day trip/hiking scenario is also what i intend to use this for. Overall i do like this backpack. I like pocket options, color, comfort and fit. I have not used the laptop sleeve yet but it looks like it'll protect it with it's fleece-like lining. I wish the fleece lining had a somewhat elastic band near the top for the laptop or tablet portion. As it is, it has a stretched out look as it is not 'snug.' I received this with a few seams not tight, the material looking a bit unraveled in a few places. I didn't want to go through another return process (the first one, which was grey, did not match the color/design on the website) so i figured if it every became an issue, I would take advantage of the lifetime warranty of the product.

I absolutely love this backpack. I'm able to fit everything I need in it including my laptop. When I pack everything in it I can walk long distances and ilit the comfort level is amazing.

I absolutely love this backpack! The real backpack is more grayish color than the one in the picture, but I actually like it better. I can hold a lot of my school work in here and be able to carry the backpack around comfortably.

I I'm very happy with this backpack

I'm currently in college and use this backpack for school. It has enough room to carry my laptop, books, notebooks- you name it. I love that even when it is heavy to carry it feels like the weight is evenly distributed amongst the shoulders. The way this North Face backpack has been made doesn't strain my back like my prevoius backpack did when I would carry a heavier load. I only wish it had one more big pocket so that I could carry even more things. I love that it's stylish and large enough to carry a good amount of things.

I bought this backpack for daily use in college. The largest zipper compartment is not nearly as big as I thought it would be, but it will still suffice to do the job. Although I can't put every single textbook and binder in here, it can still fit about four of those items snugly. It is a very comfortable pack, has good padding, a nice laptop sleeve inside, and is easily adjustable. I also love the color! I chose a men's pack in order to get the green I liked (grey and duck green) rather than some of the more vibrant colors of the women's pack and I am highly satisfied with that aspect.

I really like the style and color of this backpack, it's very sleek and good quality. It's also very comfortable with good padding and durable. I like how many pockets there are in it too. It doesn't fit as many things in it as I hoped when I saw how big it was online. It is very difficult to load books into it as well and it's pretty stiff. The product shipped pretty fast, and in good condition.

Mostly for travel

This bag is really nice, good matirial, but the hard backing for the laptop make the bag very unflexable and halrd to fill due to how stiff it is in the main section. Overall its a great bad I just would be mlre happy if the laptop sections was optional or allowed for better movment.

It will not go over my chest

I have last year's model of this backpack in the grey and purple color. Right now, it is the fullest it has ever been, and it has 8 3-prong folders, 3 textbooks (Algebra 2, Anatomy and Physiology, and AP U.S History... We're not talking about little ones here), a pencil pouch, my agenda planner, two calculators (1 scientific, 1 graphing), my piccolo, a stainless steel waterbottle, a 200 page hardback, two paperbacks, an iPad, a folding Bluetooth keyboard, a phone, and various small things. Admittedly, this is probably overloading the bag. I also probably should have bought a larger bag. However, it would be nice if it could fit my gym bag. From a durability standpoint, so far it's been awesome. I carry all of my stuff around (minus the gym bag) all day during school (7a-3p) and there's no noticeable fraying. The capacity is lower than my big Nike Elite basketball bag, but this bag distributes the weight better and has more comfortable straps. All in all, I like it.
