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 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.

It is the size I expected and I am happy with it. There is loose threading on it which is why I am giving 4 stars. Other than that, it's great for putting small items in.

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.

I'm a petite person, less than 100#; starting to travel. Purchased a new Mini Borealis 10L Backpack; Travelled fully loaded with my mini, then went on a hike in Hawaii; both times very comfortable, padded backpack in the back lends so much comfort while it was fully loaded. The straps are wonderful not too thick. There are two key holders on both sides of the straps and having the keys available right on the straps was perfect. Not hunting for my keys was a huge plus after ending my PM shift. Mini pocket on the side fits perfectly with my extended battery iPhone. CON: There is a slight drawback on the strap. Where the strap is connected to the backpack it started to fray pretty badly and that compromised the integrity of the whole backpack. It could have been prevented had the strap ends were sealed properly. I'm hoping it was just a fluke accident. I have purchased many heavy book backpacks and never had the strap frayed so badly. I'm giving it a 4-Stars.

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.

The bungee cord ripped the first time I used the backpack.

Use as my purse.
