SKU CH-6984-JYTYW

Versatile tote-backpack hybrid with water-repellent fabric, padded laptop sleeve, and external zip pocket, made with at least 75% recycled or responsibly sourced materials

  • Carry as a tote or backpack for versatile comfort

Versatile 2-in-1 Carry

The North Face Borealis Laptop Tote Backpack converts between a tote and a backpack for flexible daily transport. Its water-repellent fabric and self-standing structure keep belongings protected and accessible. A padded laptop sleeve guards devices against bumps, while a bungee compression system secures extra gear. U-pull zippers allow quick, one-handed opening.

Upgrade From Single-Carry Bags

This design replaces dedicated totes or backpacks that lack convertible straps and a self-standing base. The jump is worth it when you shift between commuting, travel and light outdoor use in a single day. The 75 percent recycled-material construction also supersedes packs made without sustainability benchmarks. Internal organisation and an external zip pocket consolidate what previously required separate pouches.

Suits Commuters and Light Travellers

Professionals carrying a laptop, documents and daily essentials will appreciate the padded sleeve and quick-access pocket. Students moving between campus buildings benefit from the dual-carry comfort and water-repellent shell. Buyers who need more storage volume or specialised technical features such as a hydration reservoir sleeve should look at larger expedition packs instead.

Questions about this item

How deep is the Borealis tote so I know if it fits under my seat?

The bag measures 5.7 inches deep, 18.5 inches tall and 16.5 inches wide.

How do I switch the bag from tote mode to backpack mode?

Unclip the tote handles from the side loops, pull the padded shoulder straps out of the hidden back pocket, then clip them to the bottom D-rings.

When should I re-apply water-repellent treatment to the fabric?

Re-treat when water stops beading on the surface — typically after heavy use or several machine washes.
