When they built the Borealis, they had one goal—create the ultimate daypack. 25 years later, its legacy continues. Originally designed with the organization needed for a full day on the trail, it has since become a classic on campus and in the forest teaching. Celebrated for its iconic bungee straps, comfortable FLEXVENT™ suspension system and protective compartments for your most important items, there’s no limit to where you’ll go. Spacious but light. Sturdy but balanced. This isn’t just a backpack. This is the Borealis.

FOUNDED BY WOMEN. BUILT FOR ADVENTURE.
ODSS was started by mothers who saw firsthand how time outside builds resilient, confident kids. What began as helping outdoor schools equip students for all-weather learning grew into a bigger mission: Help families raise resilient, confident kids by making it easier for children to stay outside longer.
