Material and Build Quality The first thing you notice is how well made this backpack feels. The fabric is thick and durable without being stiff, and it has that solid, high quality feel you expect from The North Face. It holds its shape nicely even when it is not fully packed, and the water repellent material is great for everyday use. Light rain and splashes are not an issue, which is reassuring if you are commuting or walking across campus. Size and Fit The size is just right for daily use. It fits comfortably on the back without feeling bulky or oversized. The straps are padded and adjustable, and the back panel has enough cushioning to stay comfortable even when the bag is full. It works well for commuting, school, or travel, and it does not feel awkward or too large on a smaller frame. Capacity and Organization This backpack holds a lot without feeling messy. The main compartment easily fits books, folders, or extra clothing. The 16 inch laptop sleeve is well padded and keeps the laptop secure. There are plenty of pockets for chargers, notebooks, and smaller items, so everything has a place. It is easy to stay organized without having to dig around. Comfort and Feel Even when packed with a laptop and other gear, the backpack stays comfortable. The weight is distributed well, and the padding on the straps and back makes a noticeable difference. It feels balanced and supportive, which is important if you are carrying it for long periods of time. Price and Value While it is not the cheapest backpack, the quality makes it worth the price. You are paying for durability, comfort, and thoughtful design. This is the kind of backpack that should last for years with regular use, making it a solid investment rather than something you will need to replace quickly. Overall Impression This backpack is practical, comfortable, and very well made. It works equally well for commuting, school, or travel, and it looks clean and classic. If you want a reliable backpack that can handle daily use and keep everything organized, this one is a great choice.

Excellent quality for a backpack. I love the color (Navy Blue), and my son has been using it for almost 2 years now. Great sturdiness and strong protection for books and supplies inside. It has a lot of room for everything a student needs (books, computer, supplies, etc.). Useful for everyday students and my son also uses it when we travel. Solid purchase that looks like will last for many more years. Highly recommended.

Color: Asphalt Grey Light Heather/Tnf Black-npf
Asphalt gray looks more black in the picture but I like the contrast between the black straps and other areas that are reinforced with black fabric. The small details are what makes this backpack better then the cheaper ones you see. The felt like lining in the smaller pockets, the padding for the back and in turn helps protect your tablet or laptop. So back zippered area is thin for laptop. Middle area pocket largest for storing larger items, camera extra clothes, etc. Front half pocket has the pen slots zipped smaller pocket with a small clip inside that i usually put my keys on and slots for flight ticket, passport and things. The very front zipper is a felt like lined and great to put anything you need to grab quickly. Lots of straps to adjust size and the usual two back shoulder straps with belly belt and front strap clip so overall sturdy enough to go hiking with as it does have a water bottle slot on both sides. Built in top handle to hold easier say when youre in the tsa line. So overall its a nice travel bag for me. It is durable, but its not super thick ripstop like fabric so probably not the best in rain storms either. I will spray mine with scotchguard before my trips. Overall 5 for typical northface quality.

This backpack is amazing quality and definitely worth the price. The material feels strong and durable, and it holds up really well for everyday use. There’s plenty of space for books, a laptop, and other essentials, and all the compartments make it easy to stay organized. The padded straps are very comfortable, even when the bag is full, and the back support is great. It’s perfect for school, travel, or daily use. I highly recommend it!

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.

The North Face Borealis is a really solid backpack for school, travel, and everyday use. It has plenty of space for books, a laptop, and other essentials without feeling too bulky. The shoulder straps are comfortable, even when the bag is packed, and the organization pockets make it easy to keep everything in place. The build quality feels durable and well made. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the side water bottle pockets can be a little tight with larger bottles, and the price is higher than some other backpacks. Overall, it’s a dependable backpack that should last a long time and is worth considering.

I've owned a lot of backpacks over the years, and this is easily my favorite. While it's marketed as a commuter laptop backpack, I primarily use it for photography and day hikes, and it's been absolutely perfect for both. The organization is thoughtful, the build quality is exceptional, and it's comfortable enough to wear all day without a second thought. It carries everything I need while still feeling streamlined and well balanced. What really surprised me is how much this backpack has become part of my daily life. I don't just grab it when I need to carry gear—I actually think about wearing it the same way I think about putting on a favorite pair of shoes or a jacket. That's how much I enjoy using it. The blue color is my favorite shade of blue I've ever seen on a backpack, and every time I pick it up, it just makes me happy. It's one of those rare purchases that exceeds every expectation and becomes something you genuinely can't imagine living without. If I could give it 7 out of 5 stars, I absolutely would.

The ergonomics are very well designed. The straps have hard stops, so they don't become loose. The size and weight distribution can be lowered with the straps. Which also lowers the center of mass on the body. Making the bag comfortable for the lower back despite carrying up to 20 to 35 pounds. I plan on using the bag for conventions and it has more than enough room for hygiene essentials and a portable stool. But you could fit two 32oz waterbottles for hiking.
