The North Face Borealis Commuter Laptop Backpack - TNF Black/TNF Black-NPF - Durable Travel & Work Backpack for Men & Women - Perfect for Office, School, Hiking & Daily Commute

now i’ve been searching for good backpacks, even looking into bellroy and aer (although i feel like they’re too much just for highschool) and i decided on this backpack. i would say that this is honestly a great option for college and high school. it’s very well made with YKK zips, comfortable breathable padding and a waterproof exterior for rainy weather. now there’s a separate sorta fleece lined 16 inch laptop sleeve, which coming from a north face jester was an amazing improvement (the jester had the laptop sleeve in the main compartment). and there’s a main compartment for books and binders, and a admin pocket with a hidden compartment just above the bungee straps. the main compartment holds a decent amount although not too much (for me two 1 inch binders and a few books and journals) and the admin pocket is very organized and has a fleece lined tablet pouch to keep your belongings protected from scratches and whatnot. i could see people putting their kindles here or phones, etc. now there is a fleece lined “hidden” pocket that i previously mentioned and i use it as a snacks pocket or potentially a sunglass pouch. now, there are a lot of straps to hang stuff onto the backpack, even ones around the water bottle pocket to keep things secured and i suggest yall to remove the hip straps as it makes a bunch of straps hang and just looks messy. i think it looks kinda stylish and i like how it looks, the color is nice and i like the waterproofness and how it just looks like a good backpack. in conclusion,i think that this is honestly a solid option for anyone in school who wants a good backpack with a lot of functionality. it’s well made and has some fleece lined interiors, and very good zips that won’t break on you. it’s weatherproof and breathable and i heavily suggest this backpack.
