Perfect for my adventures.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the size of this backpack and the organizational compartments it has too. The pack looks deceptively small, and has a lower profile but it holds alot. I find it to be a comfortable pack. It has both a waist strap and a chest strap. The waist strap is not that wide, but it doesn't irritate me. Items inside don't tend to shift around alot- in part because of the elastic cords and adjustable bottom straps. I have taken it many places already. It was a handy carry on size too.
Best backpack ever purchased can use for years!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am currently a freshman in college and I am in love with this backpack. I can put all of my books and laptop in this backpack and it's still very roomy. Not only that this backpack has a super cute design and is extremely comfortable.
Wish there was a NF store with more products.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this bag for my daughter of collage. Backpack comes with some padding for laptop/tablet. It does take away a bit from inner storage space. Seems a bit large than it should be. Inner is a decent size but if you have clothes that need to go in it does seem to be over packed. Only concern we had was that the left strap broke after less than 2 uses. This is a one off situation since I've been using NF backpack for some time and this was the first time ripping. My other concern was that when it came for color. During return there was no other store that has NF products or the actual NF had them available. Bummer cause my daughter really liked the color and feel. We were able to replace it but not the color she had wanted but settled for one that was in store.
Beware of ripping!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking backpack but it RIPPED and is no longer useable because things can fall out. Warranty claim requires that you pay to mail it in and wait weeks for a review. TNF does not accept photos. This is not practical if you're using it as an everyday school backpack. What are you supposed to use to carry your things in the interim while you're waiting for TNF to decide if your item will be fixed or replaced?? Not too many people have backup backpacks! Ultimately, not worth the price because it didn't last.
Won't fit an Engineering Laptop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I intended to buy this backpack for work and travel. Unfortunately the laptop compartment is too small and won't fit an engineering laptop. Other than that, it is good quality and comfortable to wear but not very useful if you want to carry your engineering laptop.
Waste of Money
Used 1.5 semesters before strap broke presumably from carrying on 1 shoulder from time to time--as anyone would. Shocking since it barely fits anything.
Love this product with a glitch
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In one area, see pictures, not sure how stitch comes off so easily, is this part of design?
I am in love with this bag.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this borealis bag for pretty much everything but mainly for school. I would recommend this bag for pretty much anything. This bag is mainly great for school because it is big and spacious. I first got a jester and used that for a while and then ended up with a borealis. This bag is so comfortable and the cup holders even hold my 32 ounce water bottle. I recommend this backpack especially for school because it fits so much it fit 5 binders in and a computer and a notebook. I also recommend this backpack for people who are organized. This bag has helped me with finding things easier with the second compartment. If I could I would buy this backpack again.
Not What I Expected
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's durable and looks nice, but it doesn't zip all the way when I store my 15" laptop in the laptop compartment. Then when I fill the accessory compartment, and put my glasses in the hidden front pocket, it makes the top portion of the pack too "fat". This top part constricts the whole pack, so I can't fill the next compartment. Overall the pack feels too tight. I'm a little underwhelmed.
Stylish and functional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter loves her new backpack for high school. So great to have the laptop sleeve to protect her device. The only thing we wish is that the side water bottle pockets were slightly bigger because it is a super tight squeeze to fit a large hydro flask bottle in once her backpack is full. I do have to give North Face a huge shout out for standing by their products, honoring life time warranty and excellent customer service. Her previous backpack had a rip in the side mesh so we sent it back for repair. They let us know that they no longer carry that style backpack and emailed a gift card to purchase a new one! You get what you pay for and we will continue to buy NF for this reason. Thank you!
