Some days call for a full daypack. Others just need a lumbar pack for the essentials. The North Face Borealis Convertible Pack refuses to make you choose — converting between the two in a few simple steps, so the same lightweight, 17.5-litre pack adapts to whatever the day actually demands.
The signature external bungee-compression system is the standout feature, offering genuinely flexible options for organising and securing gear on the outside of the pack without opening a single zip. Inside, the secure-zip main compartment keeps belongings protected, while two external secure-zip stash pockets and a stretch-mesh water bottle pocket on the front handle the smaller essentials and hydration needs without digging through the main space. Zip access to the bottom of the pack means retrieving something from the depths no longer requires unpacking everything on top of it.
Comfort is built in regardless of which configuration you're using. Articulated shoulder straps move naturally with the body, the padded top grab handle makes quick carries effortless, and the stowable hipbelt tucks away neatly when you've switched to daypack mode and don't need it. Daisy-chain webbing adds further lash points for additional gear attachment.
At just 520g and constructed from lightweight, abrasion-resistant ripstop material with a coated, durable boot fabric, the Borealis is built to handle genuine outdoor use without adding unnecessary weight. Easy-to-use YKK® zippers and reflective details round out a pack that's as thoughtfully engineered as it is versatile.
