5.11 Rush12 vs The North Face Borealis Mini Pack

So if you get caught in some rain, i'd worry about water, starting to seep in here: there's no aqua guard or rain flap, but still nice. You can reach ...

It does have a pocket reading height stuff in here but it's like very very tight. So just keep like keychains extra keychains because extra I'm so ext...

I'm looking for recommendations on backpacks that would be good for family day hikes in hot/humid weather (and in cooler weather). I really want something useful that doesn't result in an immediately sweaty back!

To check out and so to wrap up, it's been a really great experience, testing out the borealis backpack over the past couple of weeks. The bag has been...

I have noticed that they are already showing some wear marks. Again nothing major, as I do carry 45lbs of weight and use the pack to go on 5-6 mile rucks almost daily as well a few extended 10-12 mile rucks on a few weekends. Total time with the pack on per week is probably somewhere around 15-20 hours. Overall a great pack so far

I originally purchased this bag for hiking. It fits my water, juice, snacks, sunglasses, and other essentials comfortably. The side pocket on the outside is too small for your water bottle. I currently use it for a travel size bug spray

but maybe a tight fit with the laptop in one of the bigger inner pockets. Quality on the 12 looks good.

I am really disappointed. Banded in the description I thought this bag could hold a 15” laptop when in reality it can not hold much. I want to know what can be done about this

It’s a good commuter bag so far. I’m in NYC and have a 1.5 hr subway trip each way. I can fit all the junk I need to bring

I had to take off the one star only because my water bottle can’t fit into the side pocket.My water bottle isn’t very big but it looks like even a plastic water bottle might have a problem fitting in there.The pack itself is a pretty color and very lightweight and comfortable.I needed a small backpack instead of a purse to carry my essentials for my daily walk to and from work and this is perfect for that!

This pack has worked out great! I wanted something smaller than the RUSH24 (I’ve had that pack for years) to build a pack for indefinite sustainment. A larger pack makes it easy to overfill with stuff you don’t really “need”, and that translates to more weight. My goal was a pack that equaled 10% of my body weight (or 18lbs). This pack fit everything perfectly snug

So yeah, I'm gonna put my stuff inside so you guys can see how much I can fit guys. Oh my god I'm literally like shook look at how tiny it is. But I'm...

There was a bend in the insert that caused a lump to ride on my back for the first few days until I figured out what the issue was. I took out the insert and cut it down (hard material to cut), hasn't been an issue since. 2) The straps shoulder straps tend to loosen up with normal use. Once every day or two, I find myself tightening the straps back down because they get looser
