  • 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

  • Good backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black U Borealis Patch/Tnf White
Just got this backpack and it’s already a favorite. Sturdy build, clean design, and super comfortable to wear. Plenty of space for books, laptop, and daily essentials. The bungee cords are great for quick storage, and the material works perfectly for patches. Solid choice so far feels built to last.

  • Awesome Backpack
Size: One Size Color: Gravel/Tnf Black-npf
Let me start off by saying northface gear is the only way to go. I have a couple of their duffel bags. And many, many jackets fleeces, sweatshirts, etc etcetera. I love this backpack. Many, many pockets I like the padding. It has on the back. I really, really like the color too, good combination. Rugged, as always since its northface. And Amazon was extremely quick with the delivery as always. ... show more

  • Great choice !
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Navy/Tnf Black-npf
This is a very sturdy, well made backpack for my high schooler. I’ve been buying this brand for the last 4 years and you can’t better made. With the many books my son has to carry, he needs a backpack that will sustain the weight. My son says it’s very convertible and doesn’t dig into his shoulders. It’s a little pricy but you get what you pay for and it’s definitely worth the money! ... show more
