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, comfortable 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.

Not very satisfied

I am a high schooler. Been using mine for 2.5 ish years. Backpack itself is FANTASTIC! Carries alot. I feel like it would benefit from a small space for something like a power bank. The current pockets are not enough to carry everything. Bungee straps ripped after 3 or so months. Water bottle holder stitching broke after 6 months.

New version is not good.

ONLY ONE FULL POCKET. Do not recommend this backpack. the front pocket stops at half of the bag, so the bag is awkward and lopsided. does not sit up on its own due to the front being top heavy. The old version was much better. this is a downgrade.

Solid backpack but limited in function

I bought this backpack with the intention of using it for multiple things (taking it to the gym, hiking, work, trips, overnight trips, etc.). Unfortunately, the structure of the backpack does not allow for you to stuff clothes in it and despite the volume it claims to be, it is much smaller inside than what I expected. The hard back panel also restricts how much stuff you could put in there and I'm considering possibly removing it to add volume and function to my bag. If you just wish this to be a school or work backpack, it's fine for that and solidly built. It has a solid laptop slot and enough room for a few books or files. But if you plan to use it for other purposes, you will probably be disappointed. I do like the extra organization of the inner pockets and the cushioning inside. I like that there is a slot for a water bladder and it is structured for hiking (though not sure you could put much in it beyond what is needed for a couple hour hike). As I said, I was hoping to take it to the gym but would have to connect my shoes and things to the outside of the pack if I really wanted to do that.
