GREAT BACKPACK! LOVE THE NEW DESIGN

This backpack has definitely gone above and beyond my expectations. This pack is great for work, school or anything you would need a backpack for. This backpack is very sturdy and has a great design. I absolutely love the extended water bottle pockets and the new exterior design of the backpack. I ...

Eh...

What I love about it: it's big and holds a LOT. I can stuff 2 textbooks, jackets, all my school stuff, water bottle, laptop, etc. It's kind of a black hole where I can just about put anything. The organization is also great. I used this as a overnight camp counselor and it was great for stuffing the...

Comments about Women’s Borealis Backpack

I have this as a backpack and I love it. I am still in high school and I honestly couldn't want a better bag. In my opinion it is a little small for all the stuff I had but not too bad. I love the look of it, the skinny cute bag is so nice and i love the light blue on gray. The side pockets are a bit small for all water bottles but most of the time i don't have a hard time pushing my bottles in. The wire on the side though makes it hard sometimes but u just have to make sure you press down and not out.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Comments about Women’s Borealis Backpack

I was looking for a backpack that would be big enough to replace a carry on bag, but small enough to carry daily while out exploring when traveling. This is the perfect size. The storage pockets and divided interior makes it easy to stay organized when on the go. I am incredibly happy with this purchase.

Uncomfortable insufficient padding

Comments about Women’s Borealis Backpack

I wound up returning this item for 2 reasons. 1- the bag did not have enough volume for all of the this college textbooks I need to fit. I am taking a class with several incredibly heavy books. It should be fine for a normal day bag, good for a K-12 student, but not if you have to carry more that a couple medium size books. 2- the padding in the straps was barely there. 12+ ago i had a backpack from this company that was incredible. It had a silicone grid style padding and the straps were all very supportive and it lasted a long time, until it was stolen from my car. The quality appears to not be the same. I will say that this bag was super cute and the hydration pocket was perfect for my laptop. The backing had a decently ergonomic structure, and the waist and chest straps were nice. It's an ok bag, but not if you need to carry excessive weight or have any shoulder pain issues because the shoulder straps are so poorly padded. I wish I would have gone to a store in person to look at it more closely before I purchased it.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Comments about Women’s Borealis Backpack

This will be my carry-on suitcase for upcoming trip to Croatia this May 2025. My niece and brother have this and I wanted one. It has the straps to hook up in front of u so that it will not slide off while walking all day. I also like all the different compartments. Very well made. I got the grey instead of the black color as it was on sale this Feb. 2025. I will wash it and take care of it. thank you.

Comments about Women’s Borealis Backpack

I had a Borealis Backpack years ago, and I absolutely loved it! Eventually it was time to get a new backpack, and I saw this one. I liked it at first, then I noticed I felt pain on my left side whenever I use this backpack. The more I use it, the less I enjoy this version. I can't fit my laptop case inside the laptop pocket is another issue that bothers me. I like to use my case as a holder for my laptop.
