Great Backpack
December 19, 2009

I had my last Northface backpack for over 4 years. I carried it to school everyday, filled with heavy text books. I looked at lots of other brands but Northface has the best features, durability and I love the style. I am really pleased with my new Northface. I just wish the laptop pocket was a little more cushioned.

Good bag

A little too much room for a mac pro--great that it is waterproof.

great for high school
November 11, 2009

The backpack arrived within 3 business days, my son loves it, fits all his books and binders plus lunchbag. Zippers are thick and hopefully will last. Fits laptop. Great buy and great service. Very comfy on his back, straps give good support.

Good Back-Pack
November 02, 2009

Laptop sleeve is excellent, plenty of space for odds and ends in forward compartment. Good looking construction.

Great bag
November 02, 2009

perfect for my uses. added benefit of being both durable and waterproof

Much Better than expected
November 01, 2009

Great daypack with lots of pockets for storing odds and ends including digital camera gear. Even the slot for toting a laptop is much better than I expected. Highly recommend this style as it folds very flat for use as a daypack that can be stored in your larger pack without consuming much space

Good quality
October 30, 2009

Nice fit for my macbook, a few books, and some spare clothing. The pockets are nice for organizing things compartmentally..if thats a word. The straps are padded enough and have lots of adjustment.

Good overall backpack
October 29, 2009

Zippers, pockets, and durability are great. Only complaint I have about this backpack is when putting on both straps, your hand sometimes gets caught under flap of the chest strap. Hard to explain in a review.

Nice, but not what I was looking for......
October 29, 2009

Its' a decent little backpack, much smaller than I was expecting. Seems durable and rugged like all North Face products. I was lucky enough to get it on sale.

I like it
October 29, 2009

It looks not bad. lots of space. I got it at a discount price and I like it.

Awesome Price for Pack
October 29, 2009

Got a great price on this backpack while it was on clearance. Perfect small sized backpack for carrying laptop and a few other essentials.

great bag
October 28, 2009

great bag - holds widescreen laptop well and has a lot of useful room and pockets. I especially like the wider straps as they fit your shoulder for a better grip and distribute weight well for a comfortable fit.

The best bag ever!
October 28, 2009

Highly recommended. The only "problem" is that it has a lot of straps attached to it - but this is no problem - might be a plus if you are going hiking - for school you can either ignore them or cut them off. This website was very good!!

this backpack is great. northface makes a great product that is rugged and durable. I want to buy another one.

Great!
October 27, 2009

I have had the bag for a week now and it's great. The width of the straps is good for a woman and sits great on your back. It holds a lot. The laptop part goes about 1/2 to 3/4 up and is kind of thin on the padding, but does the trick. I have a 15 3/4" laptop and fits great. The color, ink blue looked kind of like a navy to me on the website, but is more of a faded blue/gray/teal in person. The backpack is comfortable and great. I'm very happy with it and the website. The shipping was pretty fast.

it is great
October 26, 2009

brand new product with no defects. ships very fast. love the product, this site is even better than zappos or amazon!

Awesome!
October 22, 2009

This thing is great, it holds all of my college books plus notebooks without being horribly heavy! Love it!!

Great for the sale price, but...
October 20, 2009

The laptop is not particularly secure in the laptop pouch, and there's no way I'd pay 85 dollars for the thing. If there's a discontinued color you like, though, and you aren't insanely protective about your laptop, this is a great deal.

borealis book bag
October 20, 2009

i have had the backpack for a week now and i must say it is very nice and comfortable. i love all the extra clips on the bookbag and the laptop compartment has worked well. i just bought some more of them for my relatives

received borealis backpack in great conditon and timely manner
October 16, 2009

The borealis bookbag was great. Everything came in perfect condition. Bookbag was nice and spacious and I really enjoyed the laptop compartment as well as the accessories compartments. What I like most is the bookbag is water resistant to a good amount so my books won't get damaged.

Very comfortable carry for my laptop and work folders.
October 11, 2009

Bought that pack for my notebook computer and accessories for daily commute and travel. Plenty of room and very comfortable on my back. I would definitely recommend this one!

Cindy

great purchase
October 10, 2009

Altrec has a good selection of backpacks to choose from and the backpack was just as described on the website. It has plenty of room for books, notebooks, and my laptop and it's super comfortable to carry a huge load. I was using another backpack and my shoulder were killing me but since I started using the Borealis North Face backpack my shoulders have not hurt. I definitely recommend the backpack for college students-graduate and undergraduate students.

Awesome
October 07, 2009

Bought it for school, but have found it to be the best all-purpose pack I've ever owned. Plenty of room for books, then dump the books and load it up for an overnight camping trip.

Great backpack for all needs
September 24, 2009

I bought this backpack for school and it's been perfect. The inside laptop pocket holds my 15-inch laptop securely and there is plenty of space for my books as well. The straps are padded and comfortable, and I like the style. Great all around backpack, perfect for anything from schoolbooks to camping gear!

Great Experience
September 23, 2009

This was a great easy and effortless purchase. We are thrilled that we found your site. Thanks!

Great options to choose from
August 22, 2009

Bought 3 of these for our daughters, they love them. Having the multiple color options made buying easy as the local stores didn't have as many to choose from.

Joan

very satisfied
August 16, 2009

Bought this for my 14-yr old daughter. It has an attractive appearance and is quite roomy. Easily accommodates all of her many books, supplies, sweater, etc. She really loves it - and that means a lot since she is very "picky" about her school gear! She did mention that the number of straps could be less - however overall the bag has high functionality and is an excellent value.

Great Deal
August 13, 2009

Got this for my daughter in high school. She loves it and it holds everything she needs. It looks like it will hold up well!

Ellen Reat

Love it!
August 07, 2009

I love this pack. It works great as a school bag for high school and college students - it has pockets for a laptop, pens, etc. while still having space for a few books and a water bottle. Plus the cords on front can hold shoes or clothes. Its pretty durable too. Water resistant and easy to carry. Good buy!

Great backpack

The Borealis is a great backpack for students. It is very lightweight and durable. The Borealis is designed with different compartments and ample storage, making it easily accessible and highly sufficient for students.

Susan Zhen

great purchase!
July 03, 2009

The backpack has 3 zipper compartments, with the largest also having a separate section for the laptop. Bungee cords in the front let me carry my yoga mat around with me. Very happy with the purchase!

perfect backpack
June 09, 2009

the best backpack at a reasonable price! so many compartments that it took me a while to discover them all. very well made-- they thought of everything when constructing this pack.

Excellent value
June 01, 2009

This backpack is the ideal size and has many different uses! I am a teacher and I use it to bring my books, papers, lunch and many other items back and forth to school. I love the room and the many compartments! It is also a very comfortable backpack to wear!

great student backpack
May 22, 2009

I bought this backpack for my daughter's high school graduation. She loves it. It holds her laptop plus tons of other must haves for a day at school, going to the gym, it even makes a great carry-on piece for traveling. The Borealis is very well-made, easy to carry, and lightweight considering how sturdy it is.
