Osprey - Daylite Plus

Nail your work/life balance with the Borealis Backpack. It transitions from forest trails to commuter trains with ease. Its 28 litre capacity is roomy enough for extra hiking layers and a packed lunch or gym essentials, books and binders. There's a separate protected laptop compartment, organisation panel, zip pockets, two external water bottle pockets one with quick-draw smartphone access that you can reach without removing the bag and an external fleece-lined pocket, which is a scratch-free zone for your sunglasses. Seeing as you can pack quite a bit in the Borealis, you'd expect a good carrying system. And it delivers on this, too. The FlexVent suspension system is made up of flexible moulded shoulder straps, a comfortable padded mesh back section and a breathable lumbar panel. And if you prefer to commute by bike, you can do so safely thanks to the strategically-placed reflectors offering 360 visibility and by attaching a light to the bike-light loop.

The classic Borealis Backpack is a best-seller for good reason. With its iconic bungee cord system and large interior compartment, you can keep your items secure, inside and out. This versatile pack also features a stand-up design, sternum strap, removable waist belt, and protective laptop compartment. The FlexVent suspension system, certified by the American Chiropractic Association, has articulated shoulder straps, a rounded back panel, comfortable stitch lines, and soft-touch chemise fabric. External bungee-compression system with clips offers several options for organization. Side bungee cords allow for compression, and the bottom compression feature helps keep your gear in place. The pack also features a 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. An external, fleece-lined pocket is perfect for storing sunglasses, phones, or keys. The 360-degree reflectivity ensures visibility in low-light conditions, and two durable, external water bottle pockets can easily double as multi-purpose storage. The Borealis Backpack is designed for unisex use and is available in the Duck Green/New Taupe Green color.
