When we built the Borealis, we had one goal—create the ultimate daypack. 25 years later, its legacy continues. Originally designed with the organization needed for a full day on the trail, it has since become a classic on campus and on the job. Celebrated for its iconic bungee straps, women-specific FlexVent™ suspension system and protective compartments for your most important items, there’s no limit to where you’ll go. Spacious but light. Sturdy but balanced. This isn’t just a backpack. This is the Borealis.
The women-specific FlexVent™ suspension system, certified by the American Chiropractic Association, has articulated shoulder straps, a rounded back panel, comfortable stitch lines and soft-touch chemise fabric
External bungee-compression system with clips offers several options for organization
Side bungee cords allow for compression
Bottom compression
Stand-up design for easier packing and unpacking
Protective, dedicated 16'' laptop compartment
Large main compartment for books and binders
Front compartment has internal organization with secure-zip pockets and a padded tablet sleeve
External, fleece-lined pocket for sunglasses, phone or keys
Two durable water bottle pockets can easily double as multi-use pockets with quick-draw smartphone access on one side
