Great Backpack For School

I bought this for my son to use in high school. He really likes it. He said it has a lot of pockets and is very comfortable to wear.

Best Pack Ever

I llove the vibrant teal of this because it will hide all dings and dirt. I've washed my previous one in a lighter color and that one is like new now. This purchase was to give me a change up in color!

Excellent Everyday Backpack - Durable, Comfortable, And Wort

I purchased the North Face Borealis Backpack on 10/15/2025, and it has exceeded every expectation. The build quality is outstanding - the materials feel durable and reliable, and the stitching and zippers are noticeably well-made. The front bungee system is extremely handy for quick storage, and the internal compartments are perfectly organized for daily use. The shoulder straps and back panel are very comfortable, even when the bag is fully packed. I use it for work, travel, and the gym, and it handles everything without showing any wear. The padding protects my laptop, and the side pockets fit bottles securely without stretching out. Overall, this backpack is a perfect blend of function, comfort, and durability. If you need a dependable everyday bag, the Borealis is absolutely worth it.
