North Face Borealis

With the Borealis backpack, you can achieve the perfect work-life balance. It accompanies you on forest trails and during your commutes. It is spacious enough for extra hiking clothes and some snacks, or for sports gear and books. It features a separate, protected laptop compartment, an organizational panel, zippered pockets, and two external pockets for water bottles—one of which allows quick access to your smartphone without having to take off the backpack—and an external pocket with fleece lining that provides scratch-resistant protection for your sunglasses. Since the Borealis can hold quite a bit, a good carrying system is essential, and this has been taken into account. The FlexVent carrying system consists of flexible, molded shoulder straps and a comfortable, breathable mesh back panel with a spinal channel. And if you prefer to commute by bike, strategically placed reflectors provide 360° visibility, and a bike light loop allows you to attach a lamp.
