Great For What It Is

this is a great everyday backpack. the laptop sleeve is really handy, plenty of space for a small backpack so i can just about carry everything i'll need on any given day. very comfortable, & the straps feel super secure & durable. i like that the dual water bottle pockets can fit even my large 32oz insulated bottle; unsure how long the elastic tie-downs will wear over time, but for now they're great. my only gripe is the organization. i wish there was just one more pocket to put things in, as the main pocket is so big that things can get lost inside, & the other pockets are too small, so i end up just throwing everything into the main pocket. also, would be very nice for an extra pocket to be towards the bottom of the bag for better center of gravity. overall, this is my favorite daily backpack i've used, & i've gone through a lot of backpacks. good space, decent organization, space for water bottles, tons of options for getting the right fit & strapping things to the outside

Perfect Everyday Backpack - Durable, Comfortable, And Well-d

I've been using the North Face Borealis for a few months now, and it's honestly one of the best backpacks I've owned. The padding on the back and shoulder straps makes it super comfortable, even when fully loaded. I use it for both work and weekend hikes-it handles both perfectly. The laptop sleeve is well-padded and fits my 15" laptop snugly. There are plenty of pockets to keep things organized, and the front bungee is great for throwing in a jacket or gym gear. It's also surprisingly durable-feels like it'll last for years. Only downside is the waist strap-it's not super supportive if you're carrying heavy loads for long periods. But for daily use? It's fantastic. Would absolutely recommend for students, commuters, or anyone who needs a reliable, all-purpose backpack.

Won't Buy Any Other Backpack For College

Purchased for my son for college this fall. He loves it and has already started using it. His laptop fits perfectly and is protected with plenty of room for other things. Our daughter had a Northface backpack in college and she still uses it. They last forever.
