Product Insights & Style Tips

The North Face Black Borealis 28L Backpack channels city-ready grit with a clean, utilitarian silhouette. Built from nylon ripstop and canvas, it wears rugged texture with a quiet, everyday chic. Reflective trim catches the eye in low light, while a water-repellent non-PFC DWR coating guards against drizzle. A fixed carry handle sits at the top and the shoulder straps are lightly padded, ready to move with you from morning commute to sunset errands. Logo bonded at shoulder strap, face, and side.

With 28 liters of capacity, it handles daily essentials without a bulky profile. The two-way zip main compartment opens wide, and a zip laptop compartment sits at the back face for secure tech storage. Outside, patch pockets at the sides and a face pocket with a bungee drawstring hold quick-access items. The waist belt and sternum strap with whistle add security on crowded commutes or weekend trips.

The Borealis is a go-to for those who blend city life with outdoor practicality, offering a durable, water-repellent build and reflective accents that stay useful after dark. It pairs well with denim, sneakers, and lightweight outerwear, making it easy to swap from office to streets to weekend explorations.

SKIMS x The North Face Drop a New Capsule That Bridges Ski and Street

The 2025 winter season brings a refined update to the collaboration between SKIMS and The North Face. Their second capsule lands December 9 online and in retail, and it’s doing more than repackaging last year’s silhouettes. This drop layers The North Face’s ski-ready performance fabrics over SKIMS’ signature contouring shapes — think outerwear with real mountain cred, paired with streamlined base layers and versatile separates. The result: skiwear that actually wants to go downhill.
