Questions about this item:

Shopper Is this a good backpack for a middle-school-er?

RONNI G Yes, it's goOf for jr high through college. Also works for summer camp.

Shopper how many pockets?

BETHANY F One on each of the sides for water bottles, one little pocket for like a key on the strap , a deep zip pouch in across the very front. It has two zippers on the "main part"- one is less wide with 3 medium pockets inside for a cell phone, pencils, iPod etc. The second part is the largest part which has another large pocket for your computer. Hope that helps!

Shopper I see just as much of 'yes it fits a 17'' laptop' and 'no it does not fit a 17'' laptop. How I can be sure that this backpack fits a 17'' backpack or not?

THERESA S I had a 16" Mac book pro and it fit tightly. I do not believe a 17" would fit well in this backpack

Shopper Will I be able to fit my HP Pavilion dv7-4060us (about 18in) Laptop into it? along with 2-3 binders?

PIA W I have the borealis daypack and I carry my laptop with many other things and there is plenty of room. I am assuming that the laptop is 18 inches tall....if yes it would fit .....18 inches wide would be very tight.

JOHN G I have Dell Lattitude D600 12.4" and based on that I don't see enough room for another 4 inches in length to fit your laptop. The backpack however is GREAT! My Step-son and I both have one and LOVE them!

Shopper Will it fit a standard 32oz nalgene bottle?

SOPHEAK N It sure will

SAEMEE C Yes

Zack W The dimensions of this pack are as follows: 19" x 13.5" x 7.5". Enjoy it! Zack.

Shopper 1. Is the North Face Boreallis a "Mens" version? 2. Does it have a hook on an interior pocket to accomodate a water bladder? 3. Do you have it in the blue color? Thanks!

Zack W The North Face Borealis Daypackis a mens version, and includes a large main compartment with padded laptop sleeve and hydration clip/port. We do have it in Deep Water Blue/Mountain Blue. Enjoy it! Zack.

Shopper Is it the same size as Borealis for women?

Zack W The features, size, and specifications are very similar, but when something is marked ?for woman? it is usually gender specific, and is built in a different structure specifically for woman. Enjoy it! Zack

Shopper Could it fit a 17-inch laptop?

LUIS C Yes, I have a bulky 17-inch laptop from work and it fits perfectly. Awesome backpack, use it daily for work.

STEVE S Sorry, I can't answer your question. I bought it and gave it as a gift. All I know is it's not being used for a lap top.

PAMELA L No, it definitely won't. I have a 15" laptop and it just fits. Sorry, hope this was helpful.

JANET E Yes, my high school son usually has at least 3 binders and a sweatshirt on top of the binders with some other stuff in as well....great backpack and held up wonderful!! :)

SARAH C My computer is 15 or 16 inches. A larger computer would not fit, in my opinion.

Miller M Is the grass green the same color as it looks in the picture on the north face website?

KAREN H We are not sure how the grass green color looks because we bought the black color.

SUNGHEE K Not quite. It's brighter and a more neon green than it appears, but I still liked it.

Miller M Is the grass green the same color as it looks in the picture?

Neal F We unfortunately do not have a picture up of the Grass Green color so I do not know which picture you are refering to.

Shopper Is this bag waterproof?

SunnySports S No, this pack is not waterproof. Stay safe and have fun out there! Neal

Shopper How big is the backpack? I purchased a Borealis in 2008 but this looks to be a newer version of mine. Is it the same size?

SunnySports S This version is actually slightly smaller than your current pack, it can hold 1650 cu in (27 liters). Stay safe and have fun out there! Neal

Shopper What is the difference between this Borealis and the womens Borealis?

SunnySports S Great question! It is really about fit and comfort. It is designed with a woman's body shape and curves in mind. Being that I am a guy I cant honestly tell you it makes a big difference but my female friends who have the pack say it is more comfortable for them and fits their bodies better. Stay safe and have fun out there! Neal

Shopper is this the womens BOREALIS?

SunnySports S Great question! No, this is not the womens Borealis pack. Here is the Sku:NFCPBW for the womens Borealis pack. Stay safe and have fun out there! Neal

Shopper Can it hold 15" laptop (my macbook pro)?

SunnySports S yes, it can hold a 15" laptop

Shopper Does The North Face Borealis Daypack - 2007 Model have a laptop compartment?

SunnySports S Yes, it does have a laptop pocket,

Shopper Hey, does it have a pocket for the laptop??

SunnySports S Yes, it does have a laptop pocket.

I use this backpack for school and its great! I don't have to worry about my backpack being too bulky with It's nice design. My only problem is that the space inside is a little tight, I'm having difficulty quickly pulling my books and other school stuff out. The middle pocket is too deep for my needs, but it would fit an 1 inch text book easily thou. Overall the backpack was a good buy :)

Most Liked Negative Review

it's alright.

I'm a female and going from an Isabella to the Borealis, pretty big difference. It's big for me (Forgot to check the female version of this backpack so my fault), pretty heavier than how the Isabella used to be no matter the stuff I had inside.
The pockets are meh compared to Isabella's but I'm getting used to the backpack in general. Was actually thinking of returning it but I'm not sure where receipt is and the box it came in, I threw out. So I'll survive with this one I guess.
Slowly getting used to the big difference.

Comments about The North Face Borealis Daypack:

I am a teacher, and I use this backpack for daily to and from work needs. It is large enough to carry my laptop and a few teacher resources. I have also used it a few times for day hikes in the mountains. There was plenty of space for my gear and some snacks, but not so big that I felt weighed down.

Comments about The North Face Borealis Daypack:

I use this pack for school to bring my Macbook pro back and forth. The 13" fits perfect has great support. I also ride my Harley to school when it is nice out and the straps are comfortable and keep it up on my back nicely. I had a cheaper version before but when that one died i went for this version. I love it and would buy another one in a heart beat.
