Product Information
Full details
The The North Face Borealis Classic Backpack is designed for students, commuters, and weekend adventurers who require a durable, ergonomic carry solution that balances technical support with everyday organization. Its standout benefit is the FlexVent suspension system, which ensures long-term comfort even under heavy loads; however, users should note that the 15-inch laptop sleeve is non-suspended, meaning devices should be handled with care when placing the bag on hard surfaces.

Troubleshooting
Shoulder straps feel uneven during use
Unbuckle the chest strap, loosen both shoulder straps completely, and re-adjust them while the pack is centered on your back.
Elastic cords have become loose
Adjust the tension at the toggle clips located at the base of the bungee cords to re-tighten the external compression system.
Fabric has developed light surface stains
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft-bristled brush, warm water, and a mild detergent before air drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, pull the shoulder straps until the pack sits flush against your back, then adjust the chest strap to pull the weight off your traps. When cleaning, do not machine wash; instead, spot-clean the nylon exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the backpack in a shaded area to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the suspension materials. Ensure that the laptop sleeve is clear of sharp objects to prevent snagging the inner lining.
