Great Pack For Everything

Such a great backpack. This pack goes from everyday classes to weekend adventures super quick. Storage and compartments galore and they make sense! super light, comfortable and sits perfectly. I have already thrown it around and no signs of damage. very happy with my purchase

My Constant Travel Buddy

I have had this backpack for something like 8 years and it is the first thing I reach for when traveling. This backpack has been the world over with me, and all around the US. I am a consultant, I am always traveling with my laptop. This backpack protects my laptop and it is easy to get it in and out of the backpack. I am able to pack a lot of stuff in the pack and use it as my "under-seat" carry-on for the airplane. I highly recommend this pack.

This Backpack Kinda Sucked

I used this as my daily backpack and the shape is weird with the compression, the organization is a nightmare and the straps are not only useless but super cumbersome.

Comfy Feel

My first time trying this type(hiking) of backpacks. I really like all the pockets and space. I also really like its big. What I don't like is that hard part for the laptop. I feel that hard thing does not let the backpack be stretchy, cant fold and have to flip sideways when storing it in a wire rack. Other than That I really love my backpack, best investment because I can use for everything.

Good Quality

Purchased this to replace my last Borealis pack, which lasted about 3 years. Very happy with how long it held up and the new one seems even sturdier.
