Osprey Farpoint 40 vs North Face Borealis

They do have a slightly smaller version that is closer to 38 Weir's and I Feel like this offers plenty of space for traveling for many weeks on end, a...

I currently have a North face borealis classic backpack, it's roughly 4 years old, and am finding it too small for day to day use with work.

Overall, I was pretty happy with everything I packed. In the future I would like to pack to the size of my mini MLC but use my Osprey Farpoint 40 for the comfort. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy (and safe) travels!

We are possibly one of the best harnesses ever developed from everyday backpack. The North Faces flex vent suspension system. It features a heavily pa...

I wanted to like this bag, and there are some things I do like, but the laptop compartment is a huge miss for me. I was looking for a pack to take with me to Borneo for 3 weeks. I managed to almost fit (but not) everything I wanted in to it, but it was like a stuffed sausage in the main compartment and a turtle overall. The small upper pocket worked well to hold my liquids, but what the heck could I put in the two sectioned laptop sleeve pocket? There are no small compartments, just a large zippered one and a large Velcro laptop one

I have recently purchased the north face borealis and can recommend it. It carries a 15" laptop plus all accesories i might need; the back plate provides good ventilation as well.

pack was balanced and comfortable on my 5'11" body. There are features of a quality hiking backpack: a stable but lightweight frame, contoured shoulder harnesses featuring load lifter straps that prevent sagging away from your back, sternum strap and hip belt that perfectly transfers weight away from the shoulders. I had a comfortable, hands-free trek through an airport terminal, onto a monorail, up and down subway stairs and along a half mile of sidewalk to my hotel. I'll never drag along rolling carry-on luggage again

There's a little whistle so I'm gonna just blow it. Okay right there. So it has a whistle so this is great for like hiking if you're just like lost or...

Zippers and pockets are well designed. Spot for my iPad. Bottle/can holders on the outside. Excellent, padded hip belt for distributing weight

That's going to last you a long time, let's check out the front panel. Yes, so all of these zips are YKK, they slide really beautifully. This is our f...

Getting it on, I could not see the straps AT ALL. If I did not have a traveling companion I am not sure I would have gotten it on. I would have required a mirror. Once on the hip straps did their job and kept the weight off my shoulders

I found the straps very uncomfortable, and the bottom of the pack dug into my back. I also found the bag would fall over when the top pocket was full, and the side pouches were not very secure.

The smaller top pocket is perfect for your TSA liquid bag or throwing in the contents of your pants pockets before sending it through the x-ray machine. I do TSA Precheck so I don't have to take out my liquids, but leaving from other countries, liquids do have to come out so this pocket is handy. When leaving the US, put my wallet, cellphone and watch in the pocket so they're not in plain sight to temps any sticky fingers. The current model has more of a low key logo of just the bird and Osprey wording, not what the picture Amazon shows

That will do everything that you need, so this first of all, is sort of supported by the AAC, which is the American Association of chiropractors. So t...
