Review: Durable, Comfortable, and Super Practical - This backpack is amazing quality and definitely worth the price. The material feels strong and durable, and it holds up really well for everyday use. There’s plenty of space for books, a laptop, and other essentials, and all the compartments make it easy to stay organized. The padded straps are very comfortable, even when the bag is full, and the back support is great. It’s perfect for school, travel, or daily use. I highly recommend it!
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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stylish and sturdy
*by G***I on January 31, 2026*

This bag is stylish and very sturdy together. You could really feel the quality once you get the grip of it. The North Face logo stands out and there are loads of strap adjustments I have never ever seen on any backpack. The storage is adequate and the laptop compartment has a good protection. The rear side of the backpack gives good cushion and protection of your back. Overall this is worth the buy.
