Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

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!

I love my mini borealis bag. I use it for my clinicals bc it's the perfect bag to fit in the tiny hospital lockers! It fits my stethoscope (and case), penlight, foldable clipboard, plus more!

I love these bags! I like them so much that I bought one for each car to keep first aid stuff in!

This is a great little everyday pack or light hike, holds my yeti and snacks for the kids just fine.

Amazing quality, a lot of storage in such a small backpack

Love these little backpacks!

Perfect size for small outdoor adventures.

Perfect for a day out to carry the essentials

This is a great backpack and I love the color. It's the perfect size for me.

This is the perfect backpack for me. I use it for pretty much everything. Work, school, as a "purse", for day trips, etc. I am a small person, 5'3" and 115lbs, and I have back and neck problems and this backpack is so lightweight, it doesn't bother my back and neck at all. It holds my wallet, sunglasses case, tablet, kindle, two phones, keys, and a water bottle all comfortably. I will be purchasing another just so I have a back-up. I don't think I can live without this backpack anymore.

Great bag for small items

Great, compact backpack. A tad small, but roomy enough to pack the essentials for a nice day hike. Very stylish as well.

Great, compact backpack. It's a tad small, but enough room to pack the essentials for a nice day hike. Looks great in person too!

I use this backpack everyday - it's my purse. Just the right size.

Love this mini backpack. It's perfect for my summer in Alaska. Holds everything i need and then some and protects my belongings from the rain.

This backpack is much cuter in person and the size is perfect. I bought it as a gift for my girlfriend and she takes it everywhere she goes now! I might get a matching one for myself one day

Definitely more small than I originally thought but I love it! It's perfect for short day nature walks, I can bring my camera gear and water and a snack!

This backpack is so cute and fashionable. It's quite stylish and I can put all of my small essentials inside.

Pretty small but that is what I wanted. Big enough to fit a sweatshirt or jacket. Has multiple pockets that are very useful. The water bottle pocket is very small so likely won't fit a water bottle.

This backpack is the perfect size for running around or a short day hike. I love it. It has the same qualities of my larger pack, but is just the right size for my needs.
