The women's-cut version of The North Face's longest-running classic daypack — same external bungee-cord system and stand-up structure as the men's Borealis, in a women-specific suspension cut for shorter torsos and narrower shoulders. A staple on campus and on the trail across multiple TNF generations.
Built around the women-specific FlexVent™ suspension system — articulated shoulder straps, a rounded back panel, comfortable stitch lines, and soft-touch chemise fabric, certified by the American Chiropractic Association. A protective dedicated laptop compartment, a large main compartment for books and binders, and a front compartment with internal organization, secure-zip pockets, and a padded tablet sleeve.
Standout features:
- External bungee-compression system with clips — multiple lash-point options for layers and outside gear
- Side bungee cords + bottom compression — cinches partial loads and stabilizes full ones
- Stand-up design — pack stays upright for one-handed loading
- External fleece-lined pocket — sunglasses, phone, and keys without scuffs
- Two external water bottle pockets — one doubles as a quick-draw smartphone holster
- U-pull zippers + sternum strap with whistle buckle + removable waist belt — daily-use ergonomics dialed for women's-fit carry
- 360-degree reflectivity — visibility on early-morning and after-dark commutes
Right pick for students, daily commuters, and weekend travelers who want a women's-fit daily pack that handles real daily-rotation use. The women-specific FlexVent suspension delivers actual fit benefits over scaled-down unisex packs; the Borealis silhouette reads as familiar across years of TNF lineups while the construction holds up across daily-rotation use.
