The North Face Borealis Backpack is versatile enough to be useful whether you're toting books to and from class, or dayhiking out in the wilderness. The two large zip pockets make organization easier and faster while the bungee cord on the face of the pack is designed to store additional gear or compress the contents inside. The main compartment of the Borealis Backpack has a padded laptop sleeve that is also hydration compatible, and the slightly smaller secondary compartment incorporates built-in organizational sleeves. The North Face designed this pack with an angled bottom in order to use gravity to pull the weight closer to the lower back to add a degree of comfort when carting around heavy loads. Not surprisingly, The North Face has been working closely with the American Chiropractic Association in designing these bags which have been endorsed by the ACA. The Borealis has FlexVent injection-molded shoulder straps specifically designed to make for a more comfortable carry under medium and heavy loads. The North Face threw in a padded airmesh back panel and a removeable hipbelt for good measure. Always a hallmark of quality and comfort, The North Face Borealis Backpack has been designed to be one of the most durable and comfortable backpacks that money can buy.
