Why We Like The Borealis Backpack

Never Received - Terrible Customer Service

This item was never received so I cannot comment regarding the quality. However, based on my customer service experience below, I will not be purchasing this or any other North Face backpack as there are plenty of other options on the market.

I would buy this book bag again and again.

So excited to gift this to my granddaughter. It was the perfect size and a beautiful color. She couldn't wait to pack it for her return to school.

My Go-To Backpack for School, Travel, and Everything in Betw

The Borealis backpack is both stylish and practical. The blue color is gorgeous in person, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. It feels tough enough to handle everyday wear and tear but still looks sleek. I use it mainly for college, and it holds everything I need without being overwhelming. The zippers are smooth, the compartments are thoughtfully designed, and the water bottle pockets are surprisingly roomy. For me, it strikes a perfect balance between function and style. The only thing I'd mention is that it feels a little bulky when it's not filled up, but otherwise it's extremely versatile.
