I feel like an RB owning this amazing backpack

I bought this for my new position at work which requires commuting downtown 3x a week. I have spent a lot of money on backpacks for my kids (for school), but never on myself. My husband is a huge TNF fan and recommended I buy one from them. I feel like an RB- never have I ever experienced such a wonderful, light and nice fitting backpack plus it holds everything I need. I plan to have this for a long time. Thank North Face for your quality craftsmanship!

I feel like an RB owning this amazing backpack

I needed a new backpack for a new position at work which required commuting downtown 3x a week. I have bought really nice backpacks for my kids (for school), but not for me. My husband is a huge TNF fan and suggested I get a backpack from them. I feel like an RB - never have I ever owned such a classy backpack that is so well made, functional and nice fitting plus it fits my overly large laptop too. Thank you North Face for your craftsmanship!

Comfortable and spacious

It's been about 3 weeks since I purchased this bag and I am using this day-to-day for my college. I have a 16inch laptop and it fits perfectly on this bag. I also usually have a waterbottle, copies, my ipad chargers and this bag holds all of them perfectly. The cushions on the back and on the arms makes it a comfortable carry. Really loving this bag.

This backpack has been incredibly useful for a student like me. It's compact, yet it has just the right amount of space to fit all my essentials without feeling bulky. The material feels strong and durable, so I know it will last a long time even with daily use. I especially love the thoughtful design-it's easy to carry around campus and keeps everything well-organized. The color combination is stylish and really stands out, which makes me enjoy using it even more. Overall, it's a perfect balance of practicality, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

Loving Our Backpack - Seeking Your Advice

We purchased this Borealis backpack about a month ago and have been using it for around three weeks. We noticed that the interior has started to show some tearing. We love the backpack and are hoping to see if there's a possibility for a replacement so we can continue enjoying it. Thank you so much for your help!
