“I’ve owned an insane amount of backpacks and this one is hands down the best everyday carry I’ve ever owned.”

“I have been looking for a work bag for 2 years and I feel that I have finally found one that fits my needs.”

“Just got this backpack and it’s already a favorite. Sturdy build, clean design, and super comfortable to wear.”

The external bungee system secures lightweight layers, while compression adjustments help manage the backpack’s volume as your load changes.

A front organizer, secure zip pockets, and a padded tablet sleeve help keep your everyday accessories separated and easy to find.
The Borealis is water-repellent, not waterproof. Its DWR finish helps shed light rain and splashes. For heavy or prolonged rain, use additional protection, especially when carrying electronics.
The dedicated, protective compartment fits most laptops up to 16 inches. Check your device’s overall dimensions before purchasing, particularly if you use a bulky protective case.
The FlexVent™ system combines articulated shoulder straps and a padded back panel for comfortable carrying. Adjust the straps to your body and keep your load manageable—comfort depends on both fit and packing weight.
The 28L main compartment provides room for books, a packed lunch, and everyday essentials. Separate organization pockets help keep smaller items accessible. Available space depends on the size and combination of what you carry.
The unisex Borealis measures approximately 19.5″ high × 12″ wide × 6.5″ deep. Compare these dimensions with a backpack you already find comfortable. Your torso length and strap adjustment affect the fit.
The Borealis weighs approximately 2 lb 5 oz (1,050 g) when empty. Include that weight when planning your daily load, particularly if you regularly carry heavy textbooks or electronics.
The Borealis has two external bottle pockets. Fit and retention depend on your bottle’s diameter and height, so compatibility with every oversized bottle cannot be guaranteed.
Acceptance depends on your airline’s size limits and how fully you pack it. Compare the Borealis’s dimensions with your flight’s current allowance before traveling; under-seat fit is not guaranteed.
