THE NORTH FACEBorealis Commuter Laptop Backpack, TNF Black U Borealis Patch/TNF White, One Size

I have been looking for a work bag for 2 years and I feel that I have finally found one that fits my needs. Durability is to be determined over time, however upon first inspection everything seems to be quality. I needed specific qualities that this bag checks off. 1. This bag can fit both my umbrella and a full size Nalgene or Hydroflask - which it does! 2. Enough storage for my work documents and everyday carry items - yes it does! 3. The ability to strap the bag down to where there is no sag, bulge or drag - this bag definitely has bungee cord to make the bag compact while traveling. The zipper quality is great and when worn on the back this is very comfortable. This would make a great travel bag or work bag - glad I found it!

I bought this pack and the Vault backpack together and while this pack was the size I was looking for I thought the layout of the storage space with the Vault to be better. This pack has basically four storage areas. One for your computer, the second one for your binder and books (could maybe hold three not super thick books), the third is a small pocket for your standard items (sunglasses, misc items and a smaller storage area on the outside (was lined with felt for some reason compared to the others) for what seemed to be for gloves or scraps. Also had straps on the bottom of the pack which looked like it was for carrying a back pack tent or something. Overall it looked great and was hoping it would have worked out since I have a cap that has similar patches that would have match perfectly. But the third storage pocket was the deal breaker for me. Was very shallow and tight. In fact the second storage area was also a little tight for my liking and what I carry for work. But overall was really well designed and you could tell made really well. Just a bummer it didn’t work out for me. But would recommend this.

Great quality backpack, lots of storage. I jampack this thing with clothes and don’t even need a luggage for weekend trips it fits so much. I wish the zippers went all the way down to the bottom of the bag and there was somewhere to put the awkward laces that hang, but that’s not a huge deal. Sturdy, reliable, fits a ton and it’s super comfy once you wear it a few times to break it in.

Great looking backpack with good storage space and compartment for everything. Build quality is great too and comfortable with long term wears.

My favorite bag, the materials and details are great quality.

Daughter wanted this for her first year of high school. It fits her computer, books and everything else she puts in there. It's convertible and really good quality. Must have backpack. Great quality for the price.

Good size and quality. It’s standing up to my teenage son’s daily test!! :)

It's a great bag, and while it's a little heavy and digs into the armpits when riding a bicycle I feel the second issue will self correct as it breaks in. It is much more roomy than it appears to be and holds all my needs for .y commute. Overall I would recommend it
