Product details

Web ID: 18678284

When we built the Borealis, we had one goal-create the ultimate daypack. 25 years later, its legacy continues. Originally designed with the organization needed for a full day on the trail, it has since become a classic on campus and on the job. Celebrated for its iconic bungee straps, comfortable FLEXVENT suspension system and protective compartments for your most important items, there’s no limit to where you’ll go. Spacious but light. Sturdy but balanced. This isn’t just a backpack. This is the Borealis.

Solid backpack but limited in function

I bought this backpack with the intention of using it for multiple things (taking it to the gym, hiking, work, trips, overnight trips, etc.). Unfortunately, the structure of the backpack does not allow for you to stuff clothes in it and despite the volume it claims to be, it is much smaller inside than what I expected. The hard back panel also restricts how much stuff you could put in there and I'm considering possibly removing it to add volume and function to my bag. If you just wish this to be a school or work backpack, it's fine for that and solidly built. It has a solid laptop slot and enough room for a few books or files. But if you plan to use it for other purposes, you will probably be disappointed. I do like the extra organization of the inner pockets and the cushioning inside. I like that there is a slot for a water bladder and it is structured for hiking (though not sure you could put much in it beyond what is needed for a couple hour hike). As I said, I was hoping to take it to the gym but would have to connect my shoes and things to the outside of the pack if I really wanted to do that.

Good backpack, used for school

I haven't had any issues with this backpack at all. It carries a large amount of books and school supplies like a laptop. Only. Downfall is the white does get dirty easily

This product is great for school

I use this backpack for school and it is super comfy and somehow super lightweight even with all my heavy books. The only thing about this backpack that I didn't like was the balance issue it has a hard time standing on its own but overall a great bag.

Super disappointing

I use this as my backpack for school, work, and travel. After a month, I noticed that one of the rings securing the elastic bungee cord had come off. Now after about 4 months, I noticed a hole in the space behind the outermost pocket and the middle compartment. Another review commented that the bag is very top heavy and falls over when you set it down, and I second that statement. The only redeeming quality for me is that I love the color. Ultimately super disappointing as my previous North Face backpack lasted 10 years before needing to be replaced.

Too small for school

My tween daughter bought this with her own money but unfortunately, it is super small, much smaller than her Jansport. It's a struggle to fit her lunch box inside. Shes determined to make it work… we'll see how it goes on Tuesday when she's back to school.
