Product Description
ICONIC DAILY CARRY STORAGE WITH UPDATED FLEXVENT COMFORT AND EXPANDED EXTERNAL ORGANISATION
The North Face Borealis Backpack gives the brand’s classic everyday pack a modern refresh with improved suspension, practical organisation and flexible external storage. Built for lifestyle use, it is designed to handle commuting, campus days, daily carry and general travel with a balance of comfort and utility.
Its 28-litre capacity includes a padded dedicated 16-inch laptop compartment, a large main compartment for books and binders, and a front compartment with internal organisation, secure-zip pockets and a padded tablet sleeve. An external fleece-lined pocket also keeps smaller valuables such as sunglasses, phone or keys easier to access and better protected.
The updated FlexVent suspension system combines articulated shoulder straps, a rounded back panel, comfortable stitch lines and soft-touch chemise fabric for improved comfort through longer days.
