Why We Like The Borealis 27L Backpack

The commuters and students among us rejoice for The North Face's Borealis 27L Backpack. Equipped with FlexVent suspension support, this daypack has padded mesh in the backpanel and shoulder straps, and includes an intuitive lumbar panel and spine channel for ergonomic comfort when its filled with multiple text books and notebooks.


An internal padded laptop sleeve protects your trusty computer, while the built-in organizer includes a padded tablet sleeve, a pen organizer for your collection of highlighters, and various pockets for small-item organization. Another small external pocket is fleece-lined to hold your sunnies and reading glasses, while an elastic bungee holds a sweatshirt for the excessively air-conditioned library.

Great For Everday Use

Familiarity:

Height:

I've been using this backpack for over 2 years now and it has held up great! Easy to adjust and stays where adjustments are set without any issues. Very supportive ergonomically for those using it for school materials or a day-trips (2-3 days) to store items.

Terrible Quality

I always purchase my backpacks from TNF because they?ve previously lasted me 9+ years. I purchased a newer model of the previous bag I owned and it ripped after a few uses. There's no reason why my bag would've shredded down the middle of the back support like it did, especially being that it was only used as a travel bag. I went out of my way to drop it off at TNF store and it took 2 months to only get my bag returned to me. No fixes were made nor was a replacement issued as it was stated on the warranty claim I filled out. All I received was a letter stating that my bag doesn?t fall under their warranty policy because it was damaged in the washing machine (I don?t own one, btw). A coupon towards a new purchase or anything would of been nice rather than accusations. Absolutely frustrated with the quality of service within their customer service department. I will not be purchasing from the company again.

Great for a first-year college student!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was skeptical about how the color would hold up to dirt, but it has done great! Figured out the pocket functionality, and have received nothing but compliments. Hold everything I need.

A Great Backpack

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this backpack for college and it's got plenty of room! I love that the laptop sleeve is separate from all other compartments. I do wish the straps were a big longer.

Great for school/college

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this backpack last year for my senior year of high school and I loved it! I'm happy to say that I will also be using it in college. I could fit my laptop, folders, a notebook, my pencil case and my water bottle. My only complaint would be that it is a little heavier than other backpacks because of the thick padding on the back.
