Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

I was looking for a beach backpack that is cute, sand and saltwater proof, and not too big but can still carry the essentials- water, towel, book, sunblock. I found it all with this one. I wish it the external water bottle holder was large enough to actually fit a water bottle lol. This one is so tiny, maybe it should just hold sunblock. Anyway, I still highly recommend it. The light blue with white logos is the perfect color for the beach (doesn't get hot in the sun like black!)

This backpack was smaller than I expect it. However, it is still super cute! I was tempted to keep it but I really need a bigger pack.

Perfect backpack for everyday use for the gym or hiking I recently went to Yosemite National Park, and I was able to fit 2 large shaker cups with water and all of my hiking accessories I needed. The easy access clips on the side of the bag were very useful to attach my dogs' accessories as well. It is a perfect size if you don't want to feel overwelled with a full-sized backpack the cushioned back and straps also make it very comfortable to use. Also perfect for the gym it has 2 very handy compartments and a front full-size pocket in the front that fits so much for this small backpack I love it!

Perfect for a short hike to fit a water bottle, notebook, wallet etc, without bringing a full size backpack. Looks a little silly on my huge shoulders, but it fits well with the straps full extended and folks seem to like it enough to offer compliments.

Love the color, size, and style! Very beautiful

I use it to go to work, I love it I don't hate nothing about it! Everyone wants one at my job! Btw one friend did buy it!

Got this bag for my mom to take to work and she loves it! Definitely smaller than it looks, but holds a lot of stuff. Only a plastic or a really small water bottle could fit in the pockets.

Great for working, travel, school, day to day!

AMAZING small but mighty backpack. Holds A LOT without feeling heavy, stored a full day's worth of gear, water bottle, and held an umbrella in the outer strings and still had room to spare. Very comfortable on the back and great size to pack fits great in suitcases.

I just love the color of this backpack. I haven't used it a lot but I still love it a lot.

Great for packing up a days supply of items and the various pockets help keep everything organized and easy to find.

This is exactly what I needed and the perfect size! Sometimes I don't feel like carrying a handbag so this backpack is perfect for those casual occasions. Would definitely buy again!

I use the backpack as my "everyday bag" for my small essentials and it's amazing. Perfect small purse like size, durable and comfortable

veryyyy cute and a perfect size for hiking! bought this mini for my trip to hawaii. spent hours hiking to see the waterfalls and i was able to fit everything i needed in this backpack. again super cute and great size!

I call this the road trip back back, perfect for taking in the road fits snacks electronics toys. Bought one for my 5 year old as well she uses it as her gymnastics bag and for road trips taking to the park she puts her toys and snacks in it.

Cutie but small

Great quality little backpack. I will be using this as my work bag, I work in healthcare and needed a small backpack I could store my things in. I love all the pockets and sturdy zippers. Super stylish and functional.

Perfect size for short trips, hands free shopping, extra room for additional items that don't fit in a purse, AND it's beautiful to wear and use. It's made very well and I love the compliments I receive while wearing it. Thank you

Perfect for my size!

Great size, easy to carry around

Really liked this small pack for when I don't need to pack a lot of stuff. The only thing I didn't like is the too small water bottle holder on the side. It doesn't fit a hydroflask very well.

Great size, perfect for a day out to take a bottle and some food! And it is The North Face quality, so very happy with the purchase.

My daughter loves it. But it's not near big enough for school like the description said. Can't fit any school notebooks or even the iPad.

Love this mini backpack perfect size !!!

I LOVE this backpack! perfect size for hikes, not too bulky and holds all my gear.
