    The North Face Borealis is a technical daypack that serves double duty as a school bag or work briefcase. Newly designed shoulder straps, hipbelt and back panel offer impressive fit and comfort.

    • FlexVent™ shoulder straps and back panel were designed in partnership with the American Chiropractic Association to offer a new standard in load-carrying comfort
    • Injection-molded shoulder straps create flex zones to alleviate clavicle hot spots, pressure points and neck strain
    • Comfortable air-mesh back panel features an improved fit with a recessed channel that helps take pressure off your spine
    • Padded hipbelt can be stowed out of the way when not in use
    • Panel-loading main compartment offers plenty of room for gear and clothing; padded sleeve fits most 15 in. laptops
    • Middle pocket features an internal organizer for pens, pencils, wallet, electronics and other necessities
    • Small front zippered stash pocket is great for on-the-go essentials; dual side mesh pockets give quick access to water bottles or an umbrella
    • Front bungee system lets you stash a jacket or bike helmet; reflective accents increase chances of visibility in low light
    • The North Face Borealis pack features side compression straps that help stabilize and control your load
    • This pack is endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association, recognizing the comfort and function of its shoulder straps, back panel and interior organization

    Please note: The North Face products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

          Comments about The North Face Borealis Pack:

          Great choice if you are looking for a small day pack. I use mine for school and it fits enough books for me, but could be too small for someone who carries a lot of books. Very comfortable and the pockets are good for organization. Overall,it is well worth the money.
