Why We Like The Borealis 28L Backpack

Whether we’re headed to class or a coffee shop, we count on the Borealis Backpack from the North Face to store all of our study session supplies without compromising comfort.

The Borealis is sure to impress you as well.

I simply love this backpack. Mostly for the very comfortable fit and the multitude of compartments this bag contains that make sense. Whether hiking tte Everglades or navigating South Beach, you'll look good doing it with this functional and beautiful backpack.

Nice and roomy for a high school student.

This newer model of the Borealis is roomier and able to hold more for my high schooler. Very happy with our purchase.

Perfect bag for everyday

Perfect everyday bag with good padding for back support when you want to carry a laptop around all day . Strongly recommended

Solid but bring back some the old design

I had the old version for the last 5+ years. Really preferred the compression straps on the side, the front pocket (new one is hard to access) and the old bungee setup on the front.

I would buy again. North Face always has a good quality pro

This bag was a gift request by our grandson. He loves it & plans to use it for his school bag this year.

Would reccomend

Use for school, good storage space and water bottle holders, too many pockets though

would buy again!

Love using it as a school bag! Keeps all my materials organized with extra room for spare things. The only complaint is that it does get weirdly shaped when you try to put something on the half compartments when theres nothing in the big compartments.

Perfect carry on bag

Excellent bag. I'm using it for a carry on when traveling on planes. It's bigger than a traditional school bag but smaller than a backpacking bag. There is a compartment specifically for your computer too. Personally I think it's the perfect size. High quality!
