I purchased this backpack about three weeks ago and have been using it for two weeks. I'm already very happy with this purchase. It was a bit pricey, but it was definitely worth it. The zippers are tough and sturdy, so I don't have to worry about breaking them by over-stuffing the bag. In addition, the midsection strap really made a difference when I was schlepping my laptop, notebooks, and textbooks across campus. It was quite a relief to my shoulders. The backpack is also roomy enough to use as an overnight bag. I'll be using it as an airplane carry-on from now on, since it's more comfortable and convenient than any of the tote bags I've used before. I can already tell I'll get a lot of use out of this bag. After seeing my Borealis and hearing how much I like it, my boyfriend bought the men's version online. Hopefully he'll love it as much as I do! I would recommend this bag to anyone; it's the most versatile, comfortable backpack I've ever had.

Excellent quality, easy to use and lots of compartments - which I love! Perfect size for my small laptop and a few folders/books. Bungees on outside usually holds my lunch and the small pouch on the top front is perfect for keys, gum, lip balm and other small items that you need quick access to. I think it will be perfect as day pack as well. Not too big, not too small, but just right!

I am a college student and use this backpack for school. It is the best backpack that I have ever owned. I can barely feel what I am carrying on my back and after one semester it has held up incredibly well and still looks brand new. It is a great backpack and a great investment since it will last forever and is also good for your back.

The bag is just what I am looking for as far as accommodations and room. I am medical student and I am planning on using this bag every day. The laptop slot could be a bit more padded I wasn't expecting the padding to be that thin. The other negative point about this bag is there is so many hooks and clips. I ended up clipping them off because they are not useful and used fire from a lighter to make sure the edges would not disintegrate. The bag is beautiful and have the perfect amount of compartments and great organization.

I love everything about this backpack. It does become a little snug with a 3" binder, 3 books, scientific calc, wallet and pencils etc. but this backpack makes me forget that I have such a heavy load because of the awesome support, well worth holding a binder if needed. This is perfect for a college backpack. It's not too big and not too small, very stylish and sporty. Well worth the pretty penny.
