Ok. I'm talking about an "egg-shaped" day-pack, but it's really well made. A lot of inside-divisions, excellent materials, a little frontal pocket with tapered zip, comfortable once put on.

I bought it, cause I gave my Eastpak to my sister. Here in Italy an Eastpak (I mean a classic model as a "Locker" or a "WoodStock") costs few euros less than the TNF Borealis II, wich is light-years more forward, and I can use it snowboarding.

Very good finishes.
