Good backpack doesn't fit a lot
It was a good backpack, but it didn't fit all of my school stuff, and the clip holding the little crossy part across the chest broke very easily. It was very cute, and I liked the way the side pockets held my water bottle.

Perfect Everyday Backpack - Durable, Comfortable, and Well-D
I've been using the North Face Borealis for a few months now, and it's honestly one of the best backpacks I've owned. The padding on the back and shoulder straps makes it super comfortable, even when fully loaded. I use it for both work and weekend hikes-it handles both perfectly.
The laptop sleeve is well-padded and fits my 15" laptop snugly. There are plenty of pockets to keep things organized, and the front bungee is great for throwing in a jacket or gym gear. It's also surprisingly durable-feels like it'll last for years.
Only downside is the waist strap-it's not super supportive if you're carrying heavy loads for long periods. But for daily use? It's fantastic.
Would absolutely recommend for students, commuters, or anyone who needs a reliable, all-purpose backpack.

Amazing backpack
Amazing and durable, I took it on a trip to Africa and it was able to stay very new and clean through the trip.

great for what it is
this is a great everyday backpack. the laptop sleeve is really handy, plenty of space for a small backpack so i can just about carry everything i'll need on any given day. very comfortable, & the straps feel super secure & durable. i like that the dual water bottle pockets can fit even my large 32oz insulated bottle; unsure how long the elastic tie-downs will wear over time, but for now they're great.
my only gripe is the organization. i wish there was just one more pocket to put things in, as the main pocket is so big that things can get lost inside, & the other pockets are too small, so i end up just throwing everything into the main pocket. also, would be very nice for an extra pocket to be towards the bottom of the bag for better center of gravity.
overall, this is my favorite daily backpack i've used, & i've gone through a lot of backpacks. good space, decent organization, space for water bottles, tons of options for getting the right fit & strapping things to the outside

Won't buy any other backpack for college
Purchased for my son for college this fall. He loves it and has already started using it. His laptop fits perfectly and is protected with plenty of room for other things. Our daughter had a Northface backpack in college and she still uses it. They last forever.

Lasted over 3 years
I got this backpack three years ago and I used it every day for school and I really liked it I think a typed up for a good reason I think it's worth the money and it's so good that my mom even got a matching one because she really liked it it's got padding on one of the compartments for like a computer which is really good and it's very comfortable I highly recommend this backpack

The NorthFace borealis backpack 2024 version
This is my third borealis I've had a couple years currently I use this one I have for work and it's an awesome day pack. It's blue. I love the material and it gets me to point a to point B. I love the leather bottom adjustable straps and the side cupholders seems very durable compared to the previous models. As far as it is standing up that's a game changer for me but the way you fix it is stretch the bag out. It will stand up on its own when it's filled so if you're looking for a workhorse backpack, check out the borealis plan on buying another one all the best. Have a great summer.

I'd buy again ONLY if the bag was redesigned stand up
I own a Borealis for about 6 years now. Photo shoots, library visits, overnight stays, road trips...the bag's size and construction are not the problems. It's not meant to use on the PCT. What sucks is you have to lean the bag against something or it lays on the dusty or muddy ground. Maybe the bag has been redesigned, I do not know. But you should INSURE this bag does not have to be propped up against something to stand up. Huge miss by Northface.

Two boys two different reviews
I bought the Borealis for both of my boys when they were HS Freshman. My oldest just finished his Sophmore year of college and is still using his. But, I just had to buy my youngest a new one and he's only a HS Junior. So I'm not sure if the quality has dropped or if my youngest is just harder on bags. The crazy part is my oldest played football so I would think his would have had more abuse. They both traveled public transportation across the city. Either way I feel they held up pretty well considering the daily use and abuse.

I would buy this again, I wish I could have bought it sooner
This backpack is great. I appreciate all the compartments it has, especially the quick access at the front of the bag. I recently switched to a thinner reusable water bottle and I feel that it is too small for the side pockets. I also don't think it stands up the best which is why I give it a 4/5. Everything else is great, it looks great, fits everything as I am a medical student working long hours.

good product with a few flaws
it's good but has one flaw which is the 2nd front pocket, it should be deep enough so that if it gets filled the bag doesn't look awkward. the thing is if you fill this bag with all your stuff it looks weirdly bloated from the top, since the top section has more space due to the front pockets. another con is that the bag cannot stand on its own whether it's empty or filled. it's just annoying. otherwise the bag is perfect to fit, light gym clothing+ shoes, tiffin, laptop, notebook and minor stuff in front pocket. ideal for school and commute, I like the side pockets too. and this colour looks nice.

Teen approved!!
Sturdy, stylish for teen boy, enough space for all school items with expandable belts. Thick shoulder straps. Not sure if lunch bag will fit inside! Haven't tried that yet! Looks like it will!
