What a nice review! You really put some thought on it. I had the brown model and I'm super glad to have bought this backpack. It's a great asset when I'm going to festivals, outdoors or even to the office here in the rainy city Amsterdam. Keep up the great reviews! ;)

@MoorlanderEDC 2 года назад

Hey Rafa. I was in Amsterdam before lock down for my wife's birthday. It was a very cold March and we had a great time. I'm glad you enjoyed the content. I like to make sure I try to touch all bases to help people make that confident decision to make a purchase. I was toying between the brown version and this one. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I hope you have an awesome weekend. I think we're in for a warm few days :D

@Lex-rc1gr Год назад

So I bought this backpack as a woman not realizing that I probably should’ve got the women’s version and then I started to get buyers remorse. I was really glad that I watched this because it kind of justified me getting it in general still even if it will be too big. I also got it for half off so that makes me regret it less. Realizing that it’s great quality makes me feel better.

@MoorlanderEDC Год назад

That's a good point. I probably should have mentioned there was a women's version. Although, you can fit less in the female variant. Glad to hear the content helped Lex98. Have a great week 👍

@newforestexplorer 2 года назад

Happy Birthday! I had an early version of this in the mid to late 90’s I think it was. It was my work bag for cycling and I used to put a hi viz vest under the front cord with the reflective stripe showing. I sold it after a number of years as it was just a little too big for my needs.

@MoorlanderEDC 2 года назад

Hey fella. It's definitely a versatile. 28ltrs is definitely on the larger side for a general day bag. I like the spare room for those 'just in case' times 🤣 my life seems to be full of them at the moment. Thanks for watching buddy

@MoorlanderEDC 2 года назад

Hi DD. I've had a few Berghaus packs over the year. They're a very underrated company. I'll look to make more content with them in the future

@thumperthumper5322 2 года назад

Happy Birthday🎂.. I have this pack but it's A few years old . fantastic pack I bought it used and carry it daily. If I could change anything about it that would be made from a slightly thicker material .because I do carry a heavier bag than most people.

@MoorlanderEDC 2 года назад

Hey TT, thank you my friend. They're definitely great packs. I see what you mean about the material. I think when we're used to the likes of 500d and 1000d, a 210d ripstop does seem almost paper thin. I think like most things it's that fine balance between toughness and overall weight. Thanks for watching buddy

@cameronjohnagnew 3 месяца назад

I've currently got the previous borealis with the side compression straps you mention however after 3 years of ownership the elastic mesh bottle holders finally gave out and ripped after constantly holding my 750ml chillies water bottle, this versons bottle holders look far more durable! I think I'll be getting this version based on your video 👍 and happy belated birthday 🎉

@danhart7769 2 года назад

Many Happy Returns Mate! I was North Face for a long time, but their shift to a fashion brand kind of put me off. I still like the gear, but it feels a bit generic now. Do they still do the camo design on this one?

@MoorlanderEDC 2 года назад

Hey Dan. I have to agree with you to some extent. I think the brand did a cash grab move when they realised they'd make more money millennials. I think there could have been a better mix as they're only alienating fans. I think Rab, Montaine and others have got the balance right. Although... I think certain lines, like their backpacks, are still going strong. There's a lot of love for this pack, and maybe I'll pick up the OG Borealis classic to compare and contrast. All the best buddy

@Adam-or6mb 2 года назад

Happy Birthday! fantastic review, Thank you! I already own the original borealis but was looking to upgrade, what are the straps like on the newer version as I'm not sure on the way they are fixed to the bag? I.E are they going to be strong enough?

@MoorlanderEDC 2 года назад

Thanks Adam. I hope you're well buddy. I have to say the straps feel super secure. They also have a great freedom of movement too as it's not the strap and padding that's stitched into the bag, and rather there's a thick 2" webbing that's stitched in from the strap. The previous version of the Borealis had a weird cut out which didn't seem as secure, whereas it feels like they've gone back to basic on this newer version. I hope that helps buddy

@Adam-or6mb 2 года назад

@@MoorlanderEDC on that note I might pick up this newer version then as the straps are the only thing putting me off getting one. Thank you again for a great review.

@willeymunda Год назад

I was worried about this backpack as a carry on as the measurements are slightly bigger than what easyJet quote

@MoorlanderEDC Год назад

I can definitely say with confidence from my own personal experience travelling with this pack with work. Absolutely zero issues using it was carry on. If the measurements are slightly larger on paper, it fits within the wee box they use for dimensions and by eye they over look the odd few cm's. I hope that helps

Is this a heavy duty backpack?, I had an eagle creeck backpack and used to put a lot of weight around 8 to 10 kilos, but after 14 years, I have a to buy a new one Do you think it will fit my needs?, I read some reviews on Amazon and were complaining about lack of durability

@MoorlanderEDC Год назад

Hi Jose. It's not heavy duty like a 5.11 or Helikon Tex back pack no. This is definitely great for commuting and walking, and it'll take some abuse however it's not what I'd consider a heavy duty pack. Hope that helps buddy

I like a challenge :D a dozen stubbies definitely fit in. I couldn't find any beer bottle but was able to fit in4 bottles of wine and two large bags of chicken nuggets. I don't have any vinyl, however can cone firm my 56GB of lossless FLAC files did fir in on my mobile 😆 Hope that helps Fargoth. Have a cracking week my friend

@fargoththemoonsugarmaniac 2 года назад

@@MoorlanderEDC hahaha what a reply mate! thanks, you had me giggle :) I just ordered it anyway, love the borealis for it being rather small but packing so much stuff in it. my old 2017 or 2018 model could fit vinyl easily, and either 24 bottles or 22 0.5L cans, unfortunately it got stolen. still after 4 or 5 years of heavy use, it was still going strong with no signs of wear at all!

@BSTRDSTV 10 месяцев назад

does the waist straps is hanging down while you use the backpack?

@MoorlanderEDC 10 месяцев назад

The short answer is yes and no. Personally I keep the buckle closed exactly in the middle. With the spine relief the buckle sits with thing the spine channel. Never noticed it there... Or you can have the buckle up and hanging.
