Heading out on a big adventure? Our 45-liter and 65-liter backpacks deliver the storage capacity you need without compromising on comfort.

Backpacks That Work As Hard As You Do
Perfect for shorter trips or daily use, our small rucksacks are compact yet highly functional. Our bags are lightweight and convenient, yet they provide just the right amount of space for essentials like water bottles, snacks, and tech. Whether you're heading to the office, a coffee shop, or an off-site meeting, our backpacks are tailored to keep up with your lifestyle. Gear up for success with a backpack that’s ready to go wherever you do.


Waterproof Bags for All-Weather Adventures
Stay dry no matter the forecast with our waterproof backpacks. Designed with advanced water-resistant materials and sealed seams, these bags protect your belongings from rain, splashes, and moisture. Whether commuting on rainy mornings or hiking across wet terrain, our waterproof options ensure peace of mind when the weather turns unpredictable.


Durability You Can Count On
Built to last, our backpacks are made with premium materials and are backed by a two-year warranty. From water-resistant fabrics to reinforced stitching, every detail is engineered for performance and longevity. Whether you're braving the elements on an outdoor adventure or packing for a business meeting, you can trust in the resilience and reliability of The North Face backpacks.

How do I choose the right capacity (litres) for my North Face backpack?

Choosing the right backpack size depends on your daily needs. For everyday commuting, school or day hikes, a 20-30 litre backpack (like our classic Borealis, Jester or Vault models) provides ample space for a laptop, extra layers and daily essentials. If you are packing for short overnight trips, travel or need to carry heavier gear, look for backpacks in the 30-40 litre range. For technical mountaineering and longer hiking expeditions, explore our 50+ litre specialised outdoor packs.


What ergonomic features should I look for in a backpack to prevent back pain?

To prevent shoulder fatigue and back pain when carrying heavy gear, choose a pack built around active weight distribution and supportive design.

Essential ergonomic features include:

• Custom Injection-Moulded Shoulder Straps: Articulated straps that contour naturally around your body without digging in.
• Padded & Ventilated Panels: A supportive back panel with airflow channels to reduce heat and sweat build-up.
• Sternum Straps: Load-stabilising chest straps that keep the pack close to your centre of gravity.
   

How do I choose a backpack that safely fits my laptop or tablet?

To keep your tech secure on daily commutes or travel, look for a backpack with a dedicated, padded laptop sleeve that sits elevated off the bottom of the bag. This prevents your device from hitting the ground when you set your pack down. Use our backpack finder tool to narrow your search by features, size and more.


Are The North Face backpacks waterproof or water-resistant?

Most of our everyday backpacks are water-resistant, but not waterproof. They are crafted from durable, tightly woven fabrics and typically feature a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to keep your belongings dry during light showers and unexpected drizzles. For extreme alpine conditions or heavy, continuous rain, we recommend our waterproof technical backpacks or adding a separate rain cover.

How should I properly clean and maintain my North Face backpack?

To maximise the lifespan and preserve the protective coatings of your backpack, we recommend spot-cleaning it by hand. The best way to clean our backpacks is to spot clean with a damp cloth, then let it air dry. Never machine wash or tumble dry your bag, and avoid fully submerging it in water.
