The North Face Borealis Classic is a versatile daypack designed to carry your everyday essentials, whether you’re commuting to work, heading to class or spending a day out in the city. With a 29-litre capacity and a dedicated compartment for laptops up to 15 inches, it keeps your gear organised and easy to reach.
Its roomy main section can hold notebooks, a water bottle or a light jacket, while the laptop sleeve keeps your device separate and upright. Weighing just over a kilo, it sits lightly on your shoulders during daily routines, and its 46 x 33 x 13 cm profile fits neatly under desks or into lockers. Since the pack isn’t waterproof, it’s a good idea to protect electronics with a sleeve or rain cover when skies look grey.
At 1.166 kg, the Borealis Classic falls into the ultralight category (under 1.4 kg), so you won’t feel bogged down by the pack itself. The “15-inch” label refers to the diagonal screen size of your laptop, covering most standard models. Because it has no waterproof rating, heavy rain can seep through the fabric, so extra cover is recommended for valuable items.

The North Face says about the Borealis Classic
The Borealis Classic removes the need to switch bags when you swap dirt for concrete. With 29 litres of space, it's roomy enough for extra hiking layers and a packed lunch, or gym essentials, books and in a dedicated pocket your laptop. The hip belt and sternum strap offer extra comfort when hiking with a heavy load, but you can stow or remove them when commuting. And a padded, air mesh back panel and foam straps ensure the Borealis Classic is comfortable wherever you're walking. Let's not forget a front stash pocket and two water bottle pockets and a secondary compartment you can't say we didn't give you enough organisation options.
