Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

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.

Light weight for walks or use as purse

Small lightweight bag that has just enough pockets and compartments for me. Love it!

Awesome backpack! Took it to disney world.

Love the padding on the back for comfort. The colors are great. Holds a-lot of storage and space. All around awesome quality.

looking for a new mini bag or even a new purse! well look no further, THIS IS THE BAG! super cute and lots of room for ALL my stuff! Already got lots of compliments, and I LOVE THE COLOR combo! BUY IT!

Great little back pack. This is a perfect bag for travel - lots of pockets good space, and so convenient as a back pack so hands are free.

This bag is perfect!!!!! I don't like purses very much so I started looking for a small backpack to carry my things in. I came across this bag and decided to give it a try. It fits all of my everyday necessities. Even my 10.9 in iPad fits in it. It's perfect

I use this backpack to hike and go on adventures. It has been a life saver! It's not too small, it's the perfect size. Has lots of pockets too!

I absolutely love it. It's small, matches to almost everything I wear, even with sporty dress it still looks good. Nice compartments inside, beautiful silvery-shiny color. All in one what you need in the summer time.

Perfect size to throw small items in when on vacation. Took it to Tulum and it worked out so much better than a Fanny pack. Had my extra camera lens, water, etc.
