  • Reliable, Comfortable, and Built for both Rugged Adventures and Daily Life
Size: One Size Color: Tin Grey Dark Heather/Asphalt Grey/Tnf B...
The media could not be loaded. Why did you pick this product vs others?: The North Face Borealis Commuter Backpack is hands down one of the best everyday backpacks I’ve used. I wanted something to take with me on a trip to England, but then keep for regular use after the trip. This pack was perfect! The laptop compartment is well-padded and secure, and there’s plenty of space for everything I need: books, chargers, water bottles (both sides), and even extra clothing. There are so many pockets! The design is sleek and attractive enough for work yet rugged enough for travel or hiking. The shoulder straps and back panel are super comfortable, even when the bag is fully loaded. It’s a great all-around pack that blends style, function, and durability perfectly, and the price is totally reasonable. Take it from someone who does a ton of research before purchasing anything! ... show more

  • my review of the north face borealis backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
now i’ve been searching for good backpacks, even looking into bellroy and aer (although i feel like they’re too much just for my application— highschool) and i decided on this backpack. i would say that this is honestly a great option for college and high school. it’s very well made with quality YKK zips, comfortable breathable padding and a waterproof exterior for rainy weather. now there’s a separate sorta fleece lined 16 inch laptop sleeve, which coming from a north face jester was an amazing improvement (the jester had the laptop sleeve in the main compartment). and there’s a main compartment for books and binders, and lastly an admin pocket with a hidden compartment just above the bungee straps. the main compartment holds a decent amount although not too much (i personally put two 1 inch binders and a few books and journals) and the admin pocket is very organized and has a fleece lined tablet pouch to keep your belongings protected from scratches and whatnot. i could see people putting their kindles here or phones, etc. now there is a fleece lined “hidden” pocket that i previously mentioned and i use it as a snacks pocket or potentially a sunglass pouch. now, there are a lot of straps to hang stuff onto the backpack, even ones around the water bottle pocket to keep things secured, and you can tighten them to make the backpack more compact if needed. btw i suggest yall to remove the hip straps as it makes a bunch of straps hang and just looks messy. i think it looks kinda stylish and i like how it looks, the color is nice and i like the waterproofness and how it just looks like a good backpack. in conclusion, i think that this is honestly a solid option for anyone in school who wants a good backpack with a lot of functionality. it’s well made and has some fleece lined interiors, and very good zips that won’t break on you. it’s weatherproof and breathable and looks pretty good in my opinion. overall this is a good choice for highschool and college, and i recommend this backpack. ... show more

  • Perfect go-to backpack
Size: One Size Color: Timber Tan/Tnf Black
Favorite new backpack! The way it organizes your stuff is designed well; even when I don’t at first understand why things are where they are, I find out later that the designer(s) already put it in the perfect spot. Fits a surprising amount of stuff. It’s pretty lightweight when empty, and at max capacity it is still comfortable to wear (the chest and waist straps help a lot), and fits easily under an airplane seat. 💺 I wish there was a better way to contain all the dangling straps but that’s not much of a criticism considering all the other major issues this backpack solves for. I got the yellow color which is beautiful. The construction and build quality feel and look superior, so I expect this to last me for many adventures to come. Very happy with this purchase. ... show more

  • great backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black-npf
Bought this for my daughter. She has used it for traveling a few times so far. Plans to use it for school this year. So far it has held up very well. It has great storage capacity and has held everything she needed as a carryon for our flights. Straps are adjustable and fit well. It was a little pricy but if it holds up for years it will be well worth it. ... show more

  • Durable & Compact
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black U Borealis Patch/Tnf White
I have been looking for a work bag for 2 years and I feel that I have finally found one that fits my needs. Durability is to be determined over time, however upon first inspection everything seems to be quality. I needed specific qualities that this bag checks off. 1. This bag can fit both my umbrella and a full size Nalgene or Hydroflask - which it does! 2. Enough storage for my work documents and everyday carry items - yes it does! 3. The ability to strap the bag down to where there is no sag, bulge or drag - this bag definitely has bungee cord to make the bag compact while traveling. The zipper quality is great and when worn on the back this is very comfortable. This would make a great travel bag or work bag - glad I found it! ... show more
