Borealis disaster

Design allows for easy infiltration of debris (sand, dirt, leaves, etc...)when accessing gear. If you want your camera body, lenses and accessories to stay dry in rain, bag 'em up, because this pack and rainfly don't keep moisture out. This is a HUGH disappointment coming from a company that has turned out good products in the past. The Borealis, however, isn't one of them.
