Why We Like The Borealis Backpack

Whether we’re headed to class or a coffee shop, the Borealis Backpack stores our study session supplies without compromising comfort. The American Chiropractic Association recommends this bag because of its articulated shoulder straps, rounded back panel, and soft-to-the-touch fabric.

Would buy again, but a bit small

I use this for school, and it's really sturdy and comfortable. The only issue I have with it is that it's a little smaller than I thought. I can fit everything I need, but it's pretty tight.

Worth the Money

It's great and holds a lot of space and is very adjustable, have mixed feelings of the soft fabric inside however it's a great purchase!

It is a nice backpack.

I use this product for school. While I do love it and its functionality, the string on the outside broke after about 2-3 months of use. I think it just came out of the hole that is in the inner part by the water bottle sleeve, but to pay this much for a backpack and for that to happen is a bit annoying.

Love it!!!

I love this backpack! I've had the North Face luxe backpack for 4 years now, and I decided it was time for an upgrade now that I'm in college. I found the other one bulky and especially top heavy, it had trouble standing up even when full. The Borealis is very well structured and stands up even with not much in it. I really like the separate laptop pocket, I store my Macbook air and iPad air comfortably in there. 10/10 definitely recommend for college! It also has kept all my things dry, and I live in Oregon. If you know you know.

Perfect size everyday pack

Pack was purchased for a Washington DC field trip and daily school use. Perfect size day pack and the laptop sleeve is handy for school chromebooks. Could use side compression straps.
