Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

Great bag for day trips!!

Bought this mini backpack to use as a gym bag, since I like to carry extra stuff such as headphones, hand cream, a workout notebook, my inhaler, etc... I absolutely LOVE it! It is mini, but it holds a lot of stuff in it. It really doesn't matter that there isn't a water bottle sleeve, since I can easily fit my 20oz bottle inside the main compartment. It'll be great for traveling, and I'm already planning on taking it to a concert I'm going to in April!

The size works great for those who don't want to carry a huge backpack! Can put essentials for the day, do errands. Sleek design and light. If you are looking for a mini backpack this one is functional because it is not super tiny. The color online seemed more brighter, but still you get a nice deep pink. The bottom of the backpack has a material less desirable, but hoping it will hold up nicely. It is a a muted lighter pink (can see pictures attached).

This is the cutest backpack I have ever purchased. I have used it as my everyday bag as im not a purse girl. I also wore it snowboarding and it was perfect for carrying some drinks, some snacks, some hand warmers, my sunglasses, my regular glasses, and keys wallet phone. This bag may be "mini" but it sure does pack a whole lot in it. I can fit a whole hydroflask, air pods, wallet, keys, another water bottle and snacks in there easily. I love this bag so much. and its cute and sturdy.

Very cute backpack

Great little day pack for my daughter.

This mini pack is great for my upper back posture!

Perfect size

It's a great gift to my wife.

Great size for single day outings. I was a bit concerned about the lack of a chest strap but honestly the way it's made meant that it fit snuggly on without a real need for the chest strap to stabilize and hold in place. I liked the padding as well on the back side so I didn't feel anything from inside bouncing or pushing against my back. Definitely glad I bought it.

just the right size for a hike and can put 3 bottles of water and some snack.

I Take it to work, I really love how much it holds with how small it is, and the amount of pockets.

Right size for me .

love it so much! fits so much!

Very very cute

Using this daily. Holds just the right amount in just the right spaces! It will also be my "personal item" for flying!

Bought this for my 2 year old to travel with. It's the perfect size for her to carry herself and has a few extra pockets inside for extra storage. Love the style!

I didn't realize this mini backpack is great for my upper back posture when I hike shortly.

I ride my bike everywhere, including to the train station when I go for a day trip to San Francisco, or to meet friends and run errands anywhere within a few miles. Thus, a backpack is a must, and I realized my collection of backpacks (work/farmers market/leisure) was missing a smaller sizejust enough for a water bottle, an extra layer, a wallet, phone, and ideally a kindle or a book. Thoughtful organization was a mustI was getting tired of digging through my two-compartment backpacks. After testing it this weekend, I can conclude that this tiny backpack, purchased during Black Friday sale, is perfection. It's small (so doesn't look suspicious if I walk into a store) but has so many well thought-out compartments that I can pack everything I need for a day and more. I love the bright colors too.

So cute & colorful! Comfortable too!

Good backpack

I use this as a work backpack (healthcare). I can have a set of scrubs, socks, pens, and snacks in with it. If I pack tightly I can get my water bottle in there too. The side cup holders are too small for anything but that really doesn't matter to me for what I use it for. I love the quality and get many compliments on it!

I am loving this mini backpack. I got it for my daughter-in-law to take to basketball games to put her littles needed items. Her husband (my son) is the coach and so they are always on the go. This is the perfect size and the littles (toddlers) love to put it on his/her back (twin girl and boy) and help momma carry it to the games. It is well made and a perfect size for on the go families.

I bought this for my daughter-in-law for her birthday. She was delighted, she said it is a great size for her everyday needs. She has been using it and getting compliments.
