These backpacks last for years. We are on our third for our high schooler. We bought our first one in Kinder!

"My Borealis Backpack: A Love Story in 28 Liters"

Listen, I've had relationships that lasted shorter than my commitment to this backpack. This isn't just a backpack-it's a portable organizational utopia. The FlexVent suspension system hugs my back like it's apologizing for every uncomfortable bag I've ever owned. Those padded shoulder straps? Chef's kiss. I've carried this beast through airports, hiking trails, and aggressive subway commutes, and my spine still thinks I'm 22. The front elastic bungee cord is my spirit animal. Wet jacket? Throw it on there. Impulse grocery purchase? Strap it down. It's like having a tiny, extremely efficient roadie following you around. Can we talk about the pockets? FIFTEEN organizational pockets. I found my sunglasses from 2022 in one of them (okay, that's on me, but still). The fleece-lined laptop sleeve treats my computer better than I treat myself. The side water bottle pockets actually HOLD water bottles without ejecting them onto the pavement-revolutionary concept, I know. At 28 liters, it's the Goldilocks of backpacks: not too big, not too small, just right for pretending you have your life together. Whether you're a student, commuter, or professional mess like me, the Borealis doesn't judge-it just performs. Worth. Every. Penny.

Perfect for school ( Tech student gold mine)

I use it for school and work (i never leave home feeling like i left something). It's great for carrying all for tools and accessories that you use for tech. I wish it had a water bottle clip, size not ideal for big bottles

I use it for fishing, camping, school, and everything else. It was waterproof enough to keep my stuff dry while fishing.

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.
