Review: my review of the north face borealis backpack - now i’ve been searching for good backpacks, even looking into bellroy and aer (although i feel like they’re too much just for my application— highschool) and i decided on this backpack. i would say that this is honestly a great option for college and high school. it’s very well made with quality YKK zips, comfortable breathable padding and a waterproof exterior for rainy weather. now there’s a separate sorta fleece lined 16 inch laptop sleeve, which coming from a north face jester was an amazing improvement (the jester had the laptop sleeve in the main compartment). and there’s a main compartment for books and binders, and lastly an admin pocket with a hidden compartment just above the bungee straps. the main compartment holds a decent amount although not too much (i personally put two 1 inch binders and a few books and journals) and the admin pocket is very organized and has a fleece lined tablet pouch to keep your belongings protected from scratches and whatnot. i could see people putting their kindles here or phones, etc. now there is a fleece lined “hidden” pocket that i previously mentioned and i use it as a snacks pocket or potentially a sunglass pouch. now, there are a lot of straps to hang stuff onto the backpack, even ones around the water bottle pocket to keep things secured, and you can tighten them to make the backpack more compact if needed. btw i suggest yall to remove the hip straps as it makes a bunch of straps hang and just looks messy. i think it looks kinda stylish and i like how it looks, the color is nice and i like the waterproofness and how it just looks like a good backpack. in conclusion, i think that this is honestly a solid option for anyone in school who wants a good backpack with a lot of functionality. it’s well made and has some fleece lined interiors, and very good zips that won’t break on you. it’s weatherproof and breathable and looks pretty good in my opinion. overall this is a good choice for highschool and college, and i recommend this backpack.
Review: It’s perfect! If only it were cheaper 😬 - I love my North Face Borealis 💕! The green is such a cute color and it’s very durably built. I’ve had it for a few years now, and it shows almost no signs of wear (other than being a little dirty, of course). It doesn’t hold as much as some bags, but I seldom have space issues in my regular use. I’ve used it as a book bag in high school/college, but it’s also my go-to bag for traveling. I love that it has several pockets so that I can organize everything I’m carrying. And the designated laptop sleeve is perfect! I put my iPad and laptop in there. I would definitely recommend this or another North Face backpack! It’s a bit of a splurge, but the quality is unrivaled, and it’ll last you longer than a more cheaply made backpack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, Comfortable, and Built for both Rugged Adventures and Daily Life
*by M***1 on June 21, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The North Face Borealis Commuter Backpack is hands down one of the best everyday backpacks I’ve used. I wanted something to take with me on a trip to England, but then keep for regular use after the trip. This pack was perfect! The laptop compartment is well-padded and secure, and there’s plenty of space for everything I need: books, chargers, water bottles (both sides), and even extra clothing. There are so many pockets! The design is sleek and attractive enough for work yet rugged enough for travel or hiking. The shoulder straps and back panel are super comfortable, even when the bag is fully loaded. It’s a great all-around pack that blends style, function, and durability perfectly, and the price is totally reasonable. Take it from someone who does a ton of research before purchasing anything!
