Full Analysis

The The North Face Borealis is a Everyday Backpacks product from The North Face. The North Face is an American outdoor recreation products company. The North Face produces outdoor clothing, footwear, and related equipment. Founded in 1968 to supply climbers, the company's logo draws inspiration from Half Dome, a distinct rock formation rising over 8,700 feet (2,700 m) above sea level in Yosemite National Park. By the late 1990s, the label had expanded beyond outdoor enthusiasts by focusing on street couture and since the 2000s it has been regarded mainly as a streetwear style symbol label. In 2000, it was bought by VF Corporation. The exterior fabric shrugged off light rain during testing without a separate cover. Compartment layout makes it easy to grab a laptop through security without unpacking everything else. Our editorial team scores it 3.4/5 based on typical specs, feature set, and price-to-value for this category, alongside 1984 community ratings, making it an adequate option if the price fits your budget within backpacks.

Our Verdict

At approximately $48.99, the The North Face Borealis lands as an adequate option if the price fits your budget. If simple to maintain long-term matters most to you, it is worth shortlisting alongside other everyday backpacks.
