The North Face Women's Borealis Backpack

Without doubt the best north face bag I've had. After years of refinement this bag is really very good. Also, I normally buy black bags, but the grey detail in this one looks smart and refined.

I bought this back pack 10 years ago and it is still going strong. It is not the most spacious but is very compact and looks good. Well worth spending a bit more for quality.

Functional backpack, comfortable and with excellent finishes. It was delivered irreproachable manner.

I used it as a carry-on bag for a trip to New Zealand and could not be happier. It is a good size and collapsible and therefore can stretch to fit more or be compacted to fit more comfortably into tighter spaces. It is able to carry a 15" laptop in the laptop sleeve and is still spacious enough to fit in other clothing items, shoes or other electronic items. There are two zipped compartments, one large main compartment with the padded laptop sleeve, and a smaller front compartment also containing various sized pockets for pens and other items. It seems ideal for use commuting, travelling, at school and undertaking outdoor activities such as hiking.The straps and back of the rucksack are padded and extremely comfortable when walking and carrying for long periods of time or for long distances. The zips are large and of high quality which suggest it will handle general wear and tear very well.I also considered the karrimore urban rucksack as a cheaper alternative but found the material of the bag and zip of a much lower quality and susceptible to rips. I therefore chose the more expensive North Face bag and I believe I made the right choice and am extremely pleased with my choice.Highly recommended.

Great bag

Slim against the back. Comfy. Smart for work.

Absolutely love this bag. Stylish, durable and good value for money.

Big but great fit for a laptop and iPad for college
