  • Holds a decent amount and well made
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf White-npf
I got this for my daugher to take to dual enrollment classes at a local college. It has a little more space than the Jester, which was too skinny if she needed to take more than just a few things. This one seems a little better quality, although the other one is really nice quality too. It fits her laptop, cord, headphones, calculator, notebooks, lunch, and some other things, with some space leftover. She also keeps a waterbottle in one outside pocket and can put an umbrella in the other, but that fits in the bag too. I like that the side pockets are adjustable with a cord. I also like that there is one sturdy handle on the top to pick up the bag, rather than two of them on the Jester, which makes no sense to me and kind of gets in the way of the zipper. The black is really nice and sleek looking too. ... show more

  • Perfect Blend of Style, Functionality, and Comfort
The North Face Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack in Hunter Green/Eagle Blue has exceeded my expectations in every way. As someone who needs a reliable and versatile backpack for work and travel, this product strikes the perfect balance between form and function. First, the design is striking. The Hunter Green and Eagle Blue combination is both modern and understated, giving the backpack a professional yet adventurous look. It’s the kind of bag that feels just as appropriate in the office as it does on a weekend hike. The organizational features are outstanding. The main compartment is spacious and accommodates my 15-inch laptop with ease, thanks to the well-padded and secure laptop sleeve. There’s plenty of room left over for documents, chargers, and even a change of clothes. The secondary compartment is equally well-designed, with intuitive pockets that make it easy to store and access smaller items like pens, keys, and headphones. The front elastic bungee system is perfect for stashing a jacket or umbrella on the go. Comfort is another standout feature. The FlexVent suspension system, combined with the padded straps and back panel, makes carrying a fully loaded backpack feel surprisingly light. Even after wearing it for hours during a recent trip, I experienced no discomfort. The adjustable sternum strap and removable waist belt offer additional stability when needed. Finally, the durability is what you’d expect from The North Face—exceptional. The materials feel robust and water-resistant, ensuring my gear stays safe and dry even in unexpected rain. This backpack has quickly become my go-to for daily commuting and weekend outings. Its thoughtful design, quality construction, and comfortable fit make it a highly worthwhile investment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and versatile backpack. ... show more

  • Good backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf White-npf
This backpack is really cute and I’m going to use it for many years I hope because of how versatile it looks and it’s aesthetically pleasing to look at. I was expecting it to be a certain way and it definitely meets my standards. I only have had it for a day so I can’t say much but I will update this if I have any problems. So far it looks good quality and stores things well but the front pocket zippers won’t really go all the way don’t so you have to reach but I like the adjustable straps so you can choose the length. One thing I have to add is that there are multiple versions so this one is a women’s one so it’s a bit smaller than the men’s one I didn’t know that when I bought it but it doesn’t bother me because I like the size. ... show more

  • Great brand for a backpack!!
Size: One Size Color: Gardenia White/Tnf Black-npf
This backpack is perfect!! I love how there’s so many secret compartments. I keep on finding more and more pockets as I went! Only thing is you can fit you water bottle in the sides. So soft too!! I really was not sure about the color when I first saw it but it’s so pretty! Not to big also which is great for me! ... show more

  • Aesthetically pleasing and sturdy.
Size: One Size Color: Gardenia White/Tnf Black-npf
I love the look of the backpack it is super well made, like very well made built to last. It is not very roomy if you’re wanting to use it to pack clothes to spend the week somewhere. I would stick to just very slim items. I believe it is waterproof when I was packing things I got some lotion on it and it wipes right off. No stains. The padding on the back is really thick so that’s good if you’re into that. I’m using this for college so I know for sure it will fit everything I’ll need for class in it. But I also want to use it for work, I pack my laptop iPad and two pouches with different things mainly girl stuff, chargers, and my beats headphone in their case. It barely can fit just that because they’re different size pouches. BUT if you stick to slim items you can fit more. It is a top heavy backpack because the zippers don’t zip all the way down the sides but that’s fine for what I’m using it for I don’t mind them not zipping all the way down. The straps on it are sturdy, you can clean up the appearance of the extra straps dangling by just rolling them up and stuffing them into near by loops. That is what I learned from my boyfriend lol. It looks a lot more neat. It is a very nice backpack in my opinion, not ideal for packing many different shaped items. But can definitely fit more of the items are similarly shaped and relatively slim. I give it a 4/5 stars. Not completely perfect because of not fitting something’s but really nice regardless. ... show more

  • In a world of cheap packs, this is the holy grail. TNF ages like fine wine.
Size: One Size Color: Lavender Fog/Tnf Black/
I got the lavender fog with black accents and its SO PERFECT. It was like christmas when I got this bag. I have wider shoulder, 5’2” and 110lbs, and this bag wasnt at all too big. I am a bag and backpack fanatic. All the details in the construction of the borealis is really well thought out down to the zippers and how you access your things. The only edit I would make, and this is so tiny, is that the keyring be on the left side where it zips up. Thats it. Very happy and this is just the right price for the value. Backpacks are just not made well these days. Thats why The North Face is still in business! They didnt compromise on quality. ... show more

  • Perfect backpack
Size: One Size Color: Blue Eclipse Light Heather/Blue Eclipse
Great for plane rides. Bought for my daughter to use for school. Seems like a great size. The straps are easy to adjust. Great storage. Love that it has a separate compartment for her laptop. Material is easy to clean and looks great

It’s good, but doesn’t fit my emergency kit. I recommend if you don’t have extra things to add!
