  • Looks and feels great
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
After having this backpack for about a year now, it’s definitely held up pretty well. It’s showing no signs of extreme wear although I use it almost every day going to class or going to work it holds all of my necessities such as my laptop jackets, notebooks, pens, etc.. but also the back pocket is lined so my sunglasses are protected as well if I don’t have my sunglass case. It is on the more expensive side, but honestly, it’s totally worth it. ... show more

  • Title: Fantastic Backpack for Comfort and Organization
Size: One Size Color: Dark Oak/Tnf Black
I recently purchased the NORTH FACE Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. This backpack has proven to be an exceptional companion for my daily commutes and travels. First and foremost, the comfort this backpack provides is unparalleled, even when it’s fully packed and on the heavier side. The ergonomic design and padded shoulder straps distribute the weight evenly, making it easy to carry throughout the day without strain. What truly stands out to me is the thoughtfully designed organization. The compartments are not only spacious but also incredibly accessible. It’s a relief to be able to quickly reach for my belongings without having to rummage through layers of items. The small zip pocket is a gem - a secure spot for storing priority items like my passport, wallet, and cash. This added layer of security is a feature I’ve come to appreciate more than I anticipated. Moreover, the dedicated laptop sleeve is a game-changer. My MacBook rests snugly within, well-protected from any bumps or jostles. This feature alone provides the peace of mind I need while carrying my valuable electronics. In summary, the NORTH FACE Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack exceeds expectations in comfort and organization. Whether you’re a frequent traveler, a student, or simply someone who appreciates a well-designed backpack, this is definitely a top-notch choice. I’m thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and can’t recommend it enough. ... show more

  • Great upgrade from the jester backpack
Size: One Size Color: Tnf Black/Tnf Black
Been using this backpack for two months in Vietnam and I really like it. The backpack looks sleek, has a lot of space, and is durable. The only problem I have is that items in the main compartment could get in the way of putting my yeti bottle in the water bottle holder

At the end of the school year, padding has held up to high school student, zippers intact, exterior in good condition. Only complaint is the interior of one of the side pockets tore (thin material/unlike rest of bag which creates a “tunnel” from the outside water bottle area into the bag.
