THE NORTH FACEBorealis Commuter Laptop Backpack, TNF Black/TNF Black-NPF, One Size

now i’ve been searching for good backpacks, even looking into bellroy and aer (although i feel like they’re too much just for 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 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 a admin pocket with a hidden compartment just above the bungee straps. the main compartment holds a decent amount although not too much (for me 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 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 i heavily suggest this backpack.

Great quality, storage, safety padding, overall a great backpack. We’ve already used it a ton. Worth the money.

Nice quality backpack - good size

I like the color and the storage capacity it offers if you’re a high school student or a college student I recommend this product the waterproof is good and it’s not even heavy the zipper never gets unless you put something through it.

Only thing I don't really like is the small pocket is at the top . So it makes the bag a bit top heavy . Other than that I love it. The laptop pocket is perfect with a nice solid back that feels good even if you have oddly shaped items in your backpack, you don't get things digging into you . Laptop pocket would also be good to carry papers or files that can't get messed up. Zippers seem solid. Material is nice . All and all I'm super happy.

I love this backpack. It looks luxury. It feels luxury. It IS a luxury backpack. And that's the problem.You could drive a beautiful 2020 Mercedes Benz S-class, renowned for its luxury and exceptional craftsmanship, to school every day. However, won't your neighbor's 1994 Ford Ranger do the same job? It'll get you there and back to school, right? It can go offroad, hold more volume, and you don't have to worry about pesky door dings. But then again, it's all about the looks.The same goes for this backpack. It's an icon, for sure. At least one in five high schoolers is going to have this. However, you're paying more for a brand than the actual conventionalism of a backpack. For half the price, you could get an Adiads Prime that'll hold more than 2x the volume this backpack could, all in a similarly comfortable package. The Adidas Prime has a front pocket that won't stick out like a botched BBL. That's a backpack you'll keep for life, from the classroom onto a glorified gym bag.Now, I must say that the padding, chest, and waist buckles make this one of the most comfortable backpacks I've owned. The massive water bottle holders and the bungee cord system allow you to hold all sorts of stuff.However, for $100, this is simply too small. So much more could be done to make it an everyday carry. And I despise that top-heavy front lip; who actually tested that and thought it was a good idea? I put a calculator, charger, glasses, and a few pencils in there, and the thing literally tips over like a water bucket at Six Flags and dumps your belongings on the ground. And God forbid you to put your headphones in there (where else do you put headphones?). Your backpack turns into an articulated dump truck, letting your payload fly out as soon as you set the bag down.Furthermore, one main pocket for $100 bucks? Were the boys at North Face scrapping for materials? Or was it just the outside that mattered? It's likely the latter. But in all seriousness, this should have at least another storage compartment. Maybe it could be under the bungee system to support the super mom BBL that pokes out the top of this backpack.Overall, this is an unconventional beauty. It's like marrying a p*rnstar. Sure, she's beautiful, but at the end of the day, are you really going to enjoy that? I still don't know, but I paid $100, so I WILL get my use out of this thing.Thanks for reading.

Really great backpack! Just wish there was more space but other than that it’s fine. Can’t go wrong with a northface, quality is amazing and they last a long time. I had another northface from 2016 that I needed to replace so I went with this. I do wish they were making their old style of northface bags

The media could not be loaded. The quality of it is very nice. It has lots of pockets and space. It also has a laptop pocket in the back of it. The straps of the bag are really comfortable on my shoulders and it’s very durable.
