  • Title: Fantastic Backpack for Comfort and Organization
Size: One Size Color: Dark Oak/Tnf Black
I recently purchased the NORTH FACE Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. This backpack has proven to be an exceptional companion for my daily commutes and travels. First and foremost, the comfort this backpack provides is unparalleled, even when it’s fully packed and on the heavier side. The ergonomic design and padded shoulder straps distribute the weight evenly, making it easy to carry throughout the day without strain. What truly stands out to me is the thoughtfully designed organization. The compartments are not only spacious but also incredibly accessible. It’s a relief to be able to quickly reach for my belongings without having to rummage through layers of items. The small zip pocket is a gem - a secure spot for storing priority items like my passport, wallet, and cash. This added layer of security is a feature I’ve come to appreciate more than I anticipated. Moreover, the dedicated laptop sleeve is a game-changer. My MacBook rests snugly within, well-protected from any bumps or jostles. This feature alone provides the peace of mind I need while carrying my valuable electronics. In summary, the NORTH FACE Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack exceeds expectations in comfort and organization. Whether you’re a frequent traveler, a student, or simply someone who appreciates a well-designed backpack, this is definitely a top-notch choice. I’m thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and can’t recommend it enough. ... show more

  • Bummer they changed the design
Size: One Size Color: Dark Oak/Tnf Black
I had a Borealis for like 8 years. It was a great backpack. I had it through 4 years of college then I used it for just my go to day trip or traveling back pack. It was perfect. Then I brought it camping and left some trail mix in a pocket and a mouse or something chewed through it. It was pretty beat up before that so I figured I’d replace it with the same thing. But they shrunk the front pocket and gave it this oversized sunglasses pocket. Now it packs real weird if I’m really filling it up like when I don’t wanna check a bag so I just squish everything in. Idk it just holds less and packs weirdly now. Very top heavy. But tbh if I didn’t have the old one I probably wouldn’t notice. And I still do like this and it actually feels like a higher build quality. So it’s good, but they hit the nail on the head last time and kinda made it worse imo ... show more

I like this backpack a lot. I bought it for nursing school. However, I thought I was buying more of a maroon color from the picture and it is definitely a brown.

There is not enough space like I thought there would be. Disappointed in how much I spent on this.
