I'm not sure which one I should take: the Borealis or the Surge. What is the main difference between those and what makes the Surge better dan the Borealis. Jasper Hi,

Thanks voor je detailed review. I’m not sure which one I should take: the Borealis or the Surge. What is the main difference between those and what makes the Surge better dan the Borealis.

There are straps on the side that line up well with the web pockets so its easy to strap in a tripod. It really does work quite well and its very comfortable to carry.

I've been looking for the "one" bag for business travel, my basic requirements were 30-40L with a dedicated laptop compartment and compressions straps.<br/><br/>I currently use a 40L Osprey Vertigo (which is great btw, completely maxed out will still easily fit into a standard overhead bin front-to-back) with a separate laptop bag, but I know I usually don't need nearly that much. I've been leaning towards the Surge, I think you've convinced me. Thanks for this detailed review.
