THE NORTH FACEWomen's Borealis Backpack

This is a super duper backpack for women. It's very comfortable. It takes all my stuff, from a spare coat to my lunch. Scarf, gloves, hat, umbrella, water bottle, laptop, widgets, chargers, notebooks, pens, I could probably fit my cat in there, if she wanted to come! It's expandable. It doesn't stand up by itself but who cares. Most of all, it fits my hourglass figure, and the straps don't squash my boobs. One very happy bunny!🐰

This is a great bag for day hiking and commuting alike. Really comfortable and the straps make it suitable for long hikes. Zips are of a good quality pocket sizes are great

very with this backpack. after hours of searching(need bag for the commute) ordered this on Wednesday evening and came today morning (Friday) quick UPS delivery. very light bag with ample space and pockets. used it for the work commute and dealt with all the usual weight of clothes laptop etc. love the colour(grey) great waist and chest straps. overall very pleased - I'm sure the bag will last me a good few years. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Its very strong bag, the shoulder strap is very confortable even with a heavy load.Separate laptop room is convenient, and special place for tablet on the front is brilliant.The colour is amazing, love the blue.

Amazing product , next day delivery ! Perfect !

Good for carry on baggage - nice touches like foam type padding for tablets/pads/laptops. Adequate straps for carrying (padding would have made them even more comfortable but possible at the expense of adding extra weight). But the chest strap is a really useful addition in providing a stable balanced carry. Zips etc seem very good quality - time will tell. Maybe not the best for carrying light but bulky items but a very neat piece of kit. I can see this becoming a much used sack

The design and inner dimensions of the borealis have changed over the years and the bags are starting to become useful again. I have had three North Face Borealis bags and the original 2003 one was amazing so when that became too wrecked after 6 years of everyday cycling walking and working I replaced it with the same. Except it wasnt the same, my 2009 Borealis was designed for a laptop and not much else. That and the build was poor with the inner lining ripping and coming apart all over place. I have stuck with the brand though, having faith(!!?) and my 2015 replacement despite being a bit more tablet/smartphone friendly with some fleece lined pouches for screen protection is back up to being a descent internal size(they were all sold as the same internal volume but the 2009 was just wrong). We will see how hideous the internal fleece pockets get with wear but its an improvement on the 2009. As always lots of other features, bottle holders and straps and of a size that makes it carry on luggage friendly on planes. I like it.Combine it with a ten litre dry bags for clothes to keep stuff completely dry inside and maybe a small rucksac cover to guarantee its storm proof appearance

A lot of pockets and various compartments.A sturdy and well made product.Feels comfortable on the back even when it is completely full.
