Borealis Backpack

College, commuting and everyday travel become much easier when a backpack separates technology, larger gear and small essentials instead of asking one compartment to handle everything. The North Face Borealis Backpack provides that organisation in a supportive 28-litre design built for full days away from home.

A protected laptop compartment keeps a computer separate from books, clothing and the rest of the main load. The front compartment adds secure zipped pockets and a padded tablet sleeve, while an external fleece-lined pocket gives sunglasses, a phone or keys a softer place that remains quick to reach.

Comfort comes from the FlexVent™ suspension system, certified by the American Chiropractic Association. Articulated shoulder straps, a rounded padded back panel and soft-touch fabric spread the load, while the sternum strap and removable waist belt add stability when the bag is full. The self-standing design also makes loading and working from the backpack more straightforward.

Two external bottle pockets can double as quick-access storage, and the front bungee, side cords and bottom compression help secure or reduce the load. Reflective details provide visibility around the entire bag, while recycled nylon or polyester fabric with a non-PFC water-repellent finish resists light moisture. The Borealis is water resistant rather than waterproof.
