The North Face Women's Borealis Backpack 27L

The Ultimate Daypack, Perfected Over 25 Years

The North Face Women's Borealis Backpack has earned its place as a true classic. Originally designed to handle a full day on the trail, it has since become a staple on campus and in the workplace. With its iconic bungee system, women-specific FlexVent™ suspension, and thoughtfully designed compartments, the Borealis is built for wherever your day takes you. Spacious but light, sturdy but balanced, this is more than just a backpack.

At the core of the Borealis is the women-specific FlexVent™ suspension system, certified by the American Chiropractic Association, with articulated shoulder straps, a rounded back panel, comfortable stitch lines, and soft-touch chemise fabric for all-day comfort. Crafted from recycled materials with a non-PFC durable water-repellent (DWR) finish, it's built to last and kinder to the planet.
