Excellent quality and comfortable to use. It offers various types of pockets on the front. The pocket for a 15-inch laptop is just about enough if you have an older, thicker one (e.g., with a CD drive). I would prefer if one of the two side pockets was closed with a zipper. An additional simple divider in the back pocket, perhaps adjustable, would be very helpful for more professional use.

I have it ten years, i ve done the worst possible things to it and eventually the zips got destroyed. The rest is in great shape. Perfect buy i am going to buy it again!

I've had it for so many years that I've forgotten when I got it. Maybe even over 10.
Apart from small scratches on the straps from rough handling, nothing has happened to it. And it gets used every day.

I keep saying I'll get a new one and I always end up with the same one in a different color.

**update: In the end, I got the same one again in a different color. Apparently, it's exactly the same as the old one. A pocket that used to be for papers in front of the laptop pocket has been removed.

The best bag I have ever bought! I have had it for ten years and the bag has endured a ton of trips - vacations - daily use and is almost like new.. I recommend it with my eyes closed

In general, the quality of the materials is excellent. The back is very convenient. It loses one star due to weight (it is quite heavy) and due to poor quality side nets (they overflowed after years). I have had it for ten years, I use it daily and except for the side nets that overflowed, the bag is like new. In the new model, the nets are of a different quality, so if the weight of the bag does not bother you, it is an excellent choice!

Very convenient bag. I use it for the office as well. It fits my laptop and is very comfortable on the back.

Good quality, ergonomic back, spaces you don't expect it to have. It is suitable for everyday use and for traveling, it is a good size, not too big nor too small. It might be a little heavy, but with this back it doesn't bother at all. Very sturdy zippers and straps. Tested on the beach, work with a laptop, and travel, excellent in everything

It will be used soon on a trip abroad and I will come back. For now, it seems fine in terms of material quality and space. Also, the application is very good

My friend has it and it is perfectly constructed. Stable, durable, and perfect look.
There was a discount and I got it for 66 euros, I considered it a "steal". I received it in two days and it is perfect. In the large main compartment, it has an extra sturdy fleece pocket. It has extra pockets in each compartment to store specific items. There are also loops and Velcro in several places for added security. I recommend it to everyone. Students, frequent travelers. It is very practical

The bag is timeless and top-notch, suitable for everyday use and small getaways...

The main pro (for any bag) is that it sits perfectly on the back, it sticks and takes the shape of the back...
As for the cons, the mesh pockets for water will overflow after a while and like every North Face bag, it doesn't stand upright on its own (especially the Classic)

What can one say about this legendary backpack?
I was hesitant to buy it because of the high cost, but if you can find it for around 80-85€ and have the opportunity, get it with closed eyes to give it as a gift to yourself.
It is incomparable to anything else, believe me, in terms of material quality, space, comfort, and detail.
Truly the best backpack there is.

I have it for 6-7 years.
I am thinking of getting a second one. One for the office and one for trips.
Durable. Comfortable. With compartments

Borealis, the backpack of love. It makes all the other backpacks look small... It has the best back support, you can load it up and as soon as you put it on your back, the weight disappears! It has INFINITE space with thousands of pockets & compartments, the build quality is obvious and the zippers are for tough situations. It's not waterproof, but you can't say that it immediately lets moisture in. Its only negative is that it weighs 1,100 grams on its own... So even with minimal things, it's heavy - although you don't feel it on your back, it can get tiring at some point... As for those who say it's expensive, they should first think about what costs more, a good backpack or a damaged spine?
