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.
