Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

I purchased it as a gift for Christmas. I opened it and it certainly is well made.

Perfect size for work. I find that if my backpacks are large I overstuff them. This is the perfect size to carry a small wallet my planner and accessories with enough pockets for organization. This is just enough for my everyday needs without hurting my back. Plus it has cushion on the part that touches your back for comfort. I reach for this backpack instead of my purse even when I'm not working.

I didn't expect it to be that small. But I use it for my baby's diapers and wipes.

This is a great backpack. It fits 2 outlet of water, camera, layered top, music speaker. Love. Great for day hiking.

My go to bag for day adventures, small but super spacious. Fits my water bottle and camera inside as well which is a huge plus.

I'm using this bag for the gym and it's perfect. I'm able to store all the necessities including gym gear all in one bag. The back support gives it a comfortable wear and the elastic straps makes it easier to hook on oversized gear. Absolutely recommend this bag for everyday wear as well. Love it!!

Can carry an 11 inch ipad & much more very handy

Bought this for a Christmas gift. Item is in perfect condition and I love it

It is awesome! The perfect size, nice pockets/ separation. I'm a plus size woman and the straps are comfortable and long enough

The absolutely cutest little outdoor backpack! Not cheap material and very tough. Love the interior pocket

Bought for my daughter who is in college and she loves it! She has a long walk on campus and this is an easy way for her to carry things she needs.

I use these as purses for traveling and hiking. I've purchased several colors. Able to hold so much but still small enough to be easy to carry anywhere.

Over the last month or so, I bought and tested several of TNF's "mini-backpack" series, and this by far is the best. I tested the Bozer mini, Berkely mini, and even a couple X-body shoulder bags. They were all too small, this one is the most realistic for mini backpacks

the backpack is amazing, the size is just perfect, beautiful color and pattern. i took it with me on my vacation last week and it didn't tear. it's very lightweight, it has lots of pockets and it has very comfortable padding on the back. this backpack is perfect for everyday use as well as for adventuring. i really recommend buying this if you're looking for a mini backpack that's not too small and not too big and super lightweight.

Fav backpack. Bring it with me everywhere. So cute and compact. Doesn't fully fit my MacBook Air 11" like I can't zip the entire backpack without a corner peaking out. I wish it was bigger by like 2 inches to fit the corner. I would buy in another color.

A must for traveling!

Good quality. Very cute. I use it on hikes with ybdig to carry his water and treats.

Use as my purse.

Where have you been all my life!?!? I love love love this back pack! It’s perfect for a day hike and everyday:) i’m 5’7” 125lbs- it doesn’t look ridiculously teeny tiny, and it’s can fit more than 6 cans of beer.

This backpack does fit a 500ml chilly's bottle in the side pocket (1st version) also can fit 1L chilly's bottle in main compartment (2nd version). Nearly didn't buy because I thought a water bottle wouldn't fit. Delivery was delayed 3 days which meant I wouldn't take it on my hiking trip so would recommend buying well in advance. Perfect size for me as normal backpacks swallow me.

Absolutely love this mini backpack! Purchased this before a road trip to Yellowstone and Colorado. Perfect day hiking bag. Able to keep essentials close whether in the city or out in nature.

I wanted a small bag for walks and short hikes. I love that it has a front pocket and a large compartment with a divider and small pocket. It can fit to 40oz HydroFlasks easily. I don't worry about getting it dirty or anything, which I like. I don't care for the side pockets. They're not really good for anything except a tissue, napkin, or maybe a pen. It's not a deal breaker but they're not really useable. Still, it's a great mini backpack.

Great backpack for traveling or school. Got as a gift and they were thrilled. Extremely pleased to have bought a durable backpack that will last long as opposed to other backpacks that only last a couple weeks.

I use it instead of my purse I find it to be more comfortable I'm not as opt to losing it lol and I can fit a few diapers and wipes for the babe in it win all around

I love this backpack,it's perfect size,comfortable&cute I get alot of compliments on it.
