I like my Backpack.
This backpack has a lot of space and lots of compartments. I prefer Borealis over Jester because of the more number of pockets. Laptop fits well in this backpack. This backpack is suitable for Middle school to College kids. Water bottle pocket is well designed and can be tightened with the elastic strings. Font pocket has many sub-pockets to keep school/college stationary. The bag has 4 pockets two of them being the main. The other two pockets still have lots of space. They both have enough storage for supplies such as markers, scissors etc.
I would not buy again
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The backpack looks wonderful, it's very aesthetically pleasing. However I am a pre-K teacher and a college student who planned to use to to carry all of my materials to and from both schools. It doesn't seem to have enough space. I also planned to use this as a carry on bag on for planned trips. However the straps are very stiff with little to no padding. Very disappointing.
Save your money
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this backpack because my last North Face backpack lasted me a WHILE (I upgraded cause the bottle holder pockets had a hole in it. I bought this backpack, and I regret it. The side pickets don't hold anything. My 32 fl oz watter bottle always slips out. The back pack started ripping from one of the zippers. I pulled the cord on the bottle holder pocket to tighten it so the bottle won't fall out, the cord snapped and peeled. Also for some context, I had this bag only for 3 months. My last one that lasted way longer, I had for 4 years. Do yourself a favor, save your money and find a better quality backpack. NOT. WORTH. IT.
Highly recommend this product and I don't was disappointed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The borealis awesome backpack I love it good size good space for my iPad and my jacket how do found this product in my email the north face send to me so I decided to buy because the colors are nice
Disappointed by the lack of durability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The shoulder straps failed after about nine months. Got a replacement, and now the shoulder straps are failing after just a couple of months. Disappointed. I expected better from The North Face.
Terrible strap quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a college student and received this bag as a recent Christmas gift. Within the first two weeks of the semester, both straps began to tear from the bag. I was distraught because I do not carry extraneous loads daily. For a product of this price, I expect it to last longer than 2 weeks. I was also told when purchasing that there is little to no difference between the women's and men's bags. THAT IS FALSE. If you have a large chest, the straps on this bag do not contour and will pinch your arms. I'm upset that I have to sacrifice the color and spacious capacity I wanted in the men's bag for the comfort of the women's bag.
Nice Backpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tbh I want to purchase the older TNF Borealis (2018) cause it has better design and I got recommendation from a friend who said previous Borealis is durable. But after this backpack arrive, I think I would say I'm satisfied with this one because it exceed my expectations. Yes, I hope this backpack would be more roomy, more pockets etc, but then it would make it so bulky. Previously I used TNF Resistor Charges, which I loved because of its design and space and pockets, but I hate its long and heavy dimension, I didn't like to wear it for long. With Borealis, I hope this will become compromise between convenience and fashion.
I LOVE THIS BACKPACK!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is extra spacious and holds all my folders and binders for school. Although I do love using it at school it is also great for hiking! Went hiking in New York and held all my supplies in this backpack! Love how the cup holders hold my water bottle, it's very sturdy and won't break like other mesh water bottle holders! Love the little secret pocket under the north face logo, holds all my necessities when going anywhere, such as my deodorant!
Poor quality from TNF
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Poor quality product. The first time I used it a zipper loop broke and a front seam started popping out. I was going to use the warranty but they want me to pay to ship it in and then possibly pay even more money for repairs. They stopped e-mailing me back when I asked why I should have to pay to send it in. Since I refuse to dump more money into a poor quality backpack, I guess I'll call this a loss and lesson learned.
this backpack ruined my day
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely horrified that I spent so much money on this backpack. I bought it about 2 weeks ago as I am a grad student and I spend long days on campus away from home and need to carry a lot. Size is great! Unfortunately, it literally broke within less than a month of owning it while I was away from home for 12 hours. One of the straps completely came unattached. Obviously, I was capable of carrying it on one shoulder all day. But since I have arthritis, my shoulder is now out of commission for the next 2 weeks. Not sure if ableism or extremely bad luck, either way soul crushing moment from north face.
