Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

Perfect size and I like that theres laptop sleeve in it

Exactly what I needed (very small person). Product quality very good.

Very cute and easy to carry. We did return because we just wanted a bigger one.

Very useful

Great size mini backpack

I used the backpack for hiking in Mont Blanc. It's comfortable and spacious.

The perfect size fit all my essentials. I started off using only for walks/hikes, but now I use it everyday instead of a purse or bag. Love it.

Perfect size!

I love this mini backpack! Perfect for day hikes which don't require me to carry much other than a few essentails. Super durable and very sleek, I would definitely recommend for casual hikes!

I am obsessed with this backpack. It fits ALL of my necessities and extra random stuff like JBL charge 5 speakers or a headlight. I do not leave the house without it I take it to work at the hospital, hiking, and outings. It's the perfect size for light travel. I wish it came with a clasp strap that runs across the chest like with the bigger sized backpacks so that I can add accessories to the strap when hiking. It's also difficult to fit a water bottle despite there being holders on the side, but not too big of a deal if you force your bottle through. Overall, great everyday backpack. Would definitely recommend.

I use it everyday for my job training. I loved how lite this bag is and is able to carry my water bottle a shirt and my paper works at the same time. Feels good on my back because of the paddings on it and the size is just right for me. And most important of all I love the overall looks of this bag. I might buy another bag like this with a different color just so I have extra.

Used instead of a purse or tote when taking day tours on a cruise. Could easily carry water, camera, small umbrella, snack and jacket. Places restricting totes and backpacks allowed this size. I bought the orange one which was great to spot when my grandson wore it.

Love this backpack. I have the Jester and the regular Borealis and they are both big for just a day trip, this is the perfect size.

Just one word "perfect"

Super cute

I love this backpack! I'm a mom and I purchased this bag for walks and it holds everything I need, plus diapers and my baby's necessities.

I love this backpack more than any other bag I've ever owned

I use this as an everyday bag in place of a purse. I could not love it more. It's super practical and just the perfect size.

I had the Borealis backpack throughout my 4 years of college. It is a solid backpack. It is comfortable, sturdy, and chick. I recently bought the mini version of it for work, and I adore it. So far so good.

I've never been a big fan of purses but I've needed a way to carry all my stuff. This backpack has been the BEST solution. I can hold a couple of diapers for the kids, my wallet, keys, chapstick and SO MUCH MORE. It is a very thoughtfully laid out bag with excellent compartments. I was skeptical at first, but it's won me over.

I absolutely love the color, Not too big and not overly small, exactly helpful in terms of taking this to small outings and amusement parks. Children can also utilize this and its very sturdy. Best choice if needing something fast and convenient

I was looking for a smaller backpack for day hikes. This backpack is perfect. It is big enough to store some basic items ( water bottle, sun glasses, keys, wallet, sun screen, bug repellent etc.). It has multiple compartments to organize things well inside. It is still small, light-weight and does not make my back sweat. I keep all of the basic hiking equipment in it all the time and now I never forget anything.

Compact and sturdy great for on the go.

Excellent small backpack. Excellent quality, as always. Can't wait to use it.

I bought this backpack for a hiking trip to Sedona and it worked wonders! I was able to fit two large Nalgene water bottles, my travel wallet, phone, chapstick, and lots of snacks in this small but mighty pack. I know some other reviewers were bummed the outside pockets didn't function as water holders, but I thought it worked just fine to carry those in the large pocket. Perfect hiking backpack!
