The North Face Borealis Backpack
Nail your work/life balance with the 28-litre Borealis Backpack. It transitions from forest trails to commuter trains with ease and provides ample space for essential gear, including extra hiking layers, gym gear, or a packed lunch, your books for the day and in a dedicated pocket, your laptop.
Providing you with the perfect addition to your commuting journeys, the Borealis has an ample 28-litre capacity for providing you with everything you need for your workday and activities post-work. The bag features The North Face's FlexVent suspension system, which has been certified by the American Chiropractic Association. The system features flexible moulded shoulder straps, a padded mesh back section and breathable lumbar panels for optimum comfort when carrying your gear. Preventing you from overheating air travels through the construction, therefore reducing the growth of sweat and moisture and keeping you fresh throughout your commute or outdoor adventure. The soft-touch chemise fabric is super durable and helps prevent stiffness or distractions when carrying, whilst is comfortable next to your skin. To provide support and stability when carrying heavy loads, the pack features a removable waist belt and a sternum strap with a whistle buckle. The comfortable, padded top grab handle is an easy way to transport the bag quickly without having to put it fully on. The bag has a stand-up design to prevent it from toppling when placing it down and making sure it's easier to grab essentials when you need them.
To ensure you have plenty of space to store your essential gear and organise it with ease, the pack features a large zipped front compartment, which has internal organisation units with secure-zip pockets and a padded tablet sleeve. A large main compartment with U-pull YKK zips are perfect for storing books and binders, whilst a protective dedicated laptop compartment keeps your device safely stored away with easy access to it. Making grabbing on the go even easier the pack has multiple external storage units, including two durable water bottle pockets, which will also double up as multi-use pockets with quick-draw smartphone access on one side. The external fleece-lined pocket is great for smaller essentials, and an external bungee-compression system has clips for even more storage options. To compress the backpack, and reduce the overall bulkiness of the bag, there are side bungee cords and a bottom compression system, to keep your pack more compact. Finally, Borealis has strategically placed reflective details to ensure 360-degree reflectivity, keeping you seen and safe on low-light commutes or adventures.
