The Recon can add a bungee, so Borealis’s bungee is not replaceable. If you need a backpack with bungee, Recon is better than Borealis. Also, the Recon also with bigger water pockets. The Borealis can only barely hold a small Poland water. I have both Borealis and the Recon.
omg thank you for calling out the sternum strap is adjustable. I got one that I ordered online (for a specific color), after trying one on in the store. Had no issues on the store one, but the one from online had the straps SO LOW. I thought "did I miss this when trying it on in the store??" but PHEW. thank you for calling that out, i wouldve returned it and had no clue EDIT just checked my old TNF backpack, and that has adjustable ones too...AND I HAD NO CLUE. FOR 10 YEARS. omg

The good thing about the Recon is the laptop competent is an inch off the ground to protect your laptop so it doesn’t hit the ground.
Yes my laptop does feel safe in this bag 👍
I’m looking at this vs the Borealis, but you can add a bungee cord to the Recon and have the mesh pocket AND a bungee cord storage area.
I have not tried the Borealis but i loveeee this bag!

I got you!! hahaha oh my gosh that would have driven me crazy!
That trim colour is gorgeous. Rose gold? Pinky Gold? I like it.
This backpack is a freakin beauty!!
Are you able to remove the hip straps? I’m using this bag for school and don’t really need that
No they're not removable, but it just looks like extra dangle when its not being utilized
@@GearfortheGirls On the North Face website it says you can remove them.
Yes. On the website it says you can remove them.
This pack is about 22 liters when tested. Not 30
Good to know, it definitely felt very tight. shouldn't be advertised as a 30L then
It’s including the mesh pocket which can fit 8L.
It's kinda "strappy" with that dangle, but I like this bag - great review
I have to agree I wish it could be hidden somehow cause its a great bag. Thanks so much :)
Omg. The frickin CATALINA WINE MIXER.
You get it 😆
pls review Evergoods CPL 16 😭😭🥹
I'll add it to the list!✅
