The North Face Borealis hiking backpack black NF0A52SEKX71 (NF0A52SEKX71)
The La Sportiva Skimo Race backpack is a symbol of balance between an active lifestyle and everyday challenges. Designed to meet expectations both on forest trails and in the urban hustle, it combines functionality with aesthetics and comfort.
Its capacity of 28 liters provides space not only for everyday essentials but also for additional clothing layers during hikes or sports equipment. The elegant and protective compartment fits a laptop up to 15 inches, and the organizational panel, numerous pockets, including those for water bottles, as well as the external padded pocket, ensure intuitive access to all stored items in the La Sportiva Skimo Race backpack. One of the pockets even allows quick removal of a smartphone without having to take off the backpack.
Equally important is the FlexVent™ carrying system technology. Consisting of flexible, contoured shoulder straps, a padded mesh back panel, and a breathable lumbar panel, it guarantees maximum comfort and support regardless of the backpack's load. It is worth emphasizing that the materials used to produce the La Sportiva Skimo Race backpack come from recycled sources, highlighting its ecological character.
Practical and useful
I've only used it in the city/metropolis, at the office, but also daily when I walk and/or cycle a lot.
It has many compartments to put devices, bike lock, water, clothes and many other odds and ends. The back padding and straps are comfortable and a big plus.
I haven't used it for hiking yet, but will soon.
Overall, I am very happy with the product.Practical, durable and useful
I use this rucksack for metropolis city life, especially when walking or cycling, and in the office. It has several useful compartments for devices, bike lock, water, small change, etc.
It is 100% synthetics/plastics, which is why I recommend you burn the remaining tin ends with a lighter. I haven't taken it hiking yet, but I will soon. The good thing is that it also comes with a whistle which is useful for bears and/or other emergency situations.
