Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

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

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.

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 use it for the gym and just for everyday. Since I'm a college students, it's easier to carry this backpack for exams since I don't need a big one. It is smaller but also useful.

Overall, I am very satisfied as it is what I expected. The most practical usage for it is walking around the city or just going on a very short hike to carry some drinks, snacks, and a t-shirt.

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.

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 love this backpack! It's small enough to carry around everyday and fits everything I need. I bought it for a plane trip and I'm still using it for school. It has a cushioned pocket big enough to fit my iPad. The color and quality is amazing and I've recommended it to my friends and family!

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.
