So I bought this backpack as a woman not realizing that I probably should’ve got the women’s version and then I started to get buyers remorse. I was really glad that I watched this because it kind of justified me getting it in general still even if it will be too big. I also got it for half off so that makes me regret it less. Realizing that it’s great quality makes me feel better.

Great review. This has cemented my decision. I've been looking around for a new pack since I like to travel with only a backpack. This one looks like a good combo for the cheapskate international traveler (I hate paying the airlines for my luggage) and weekend hiker. There is a North Face store near me, and they're currently having a 40% off sale. I'm going to go back and get the Borealis.

Hey Dan. I have to agree with you to some extent. I think the brand did a cash grab move when they realised they'd make more money millennials. I think there could have been a better mix as they're only alienating fans. I think Rab, Montaine and others have got the balance right. Although... I think certain lines, like their backpacks, are still going strong. There's a lot of love for this pack, and maybe I'll pick up the OG Borealis classic to compare and contrast. All the best buddy

Thanks Adam. I hope you're well buddy. I have to say the straps feel super secure. They also have a great freedom of movement too as it's not the strap and padding that's stitched into the bag, and rather there's a thick 2" webbing that's stitched in from the strap. The previous version of the Borealis had a weird cut out which didn't seem as secure, whereas it feels like they've gone back to basic on this newer version. I hope that helps buddy
