Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

I wanted a small bag for walks and short hikes. I love that it has a front pocket and a large compartment with a divider and small pocket. It can fit to 40oz HydroFlasks easily. I don't worry about getting it dirty or anything, which I like. I don't care for the side pockets. They're not really good for anything except a tissue, napkin, or maybe a pen. It's not a deal breaker but they're not really useable. Still, it's a great mini backpack.

Great backpack for traveling or school. Got as a gift and they were thrilled. Extremely pleased to have bought a durable backpack that will last long as opposed to other backpacks that only last a couple weeks.

I use it instead of my purse I find it to be more comfortable I'm not as opt to losing it lol and I can fit a few diapers and wipes for the babe in it win all around

I love this backpack,it's perfect size,comfortable&cute I get alot of compliments on it.

Light weight for walks or use as purse

I bought the white/grey one. in person it's more of a heathered light grey on heathered dark gray. still very neutral like i wanted so im happy

Small lightweight bag that has just enough pockets and compartments for me. Love it!

Awesome backpack! Took it to disney world.

Love the padding on the back for comfort. The colors are great. Holds a-lot of storage and space. All around awesome quality.

looking for a new mini bag or even a new purse! well look no further, THIS IS THE BAG! super cute and lots of room for ALL my stuff! Already got lots of compliments, and I LOVE THE COLOR combo! BUY IT!

Great little back pack. This is a perfect bag for travel - lots of pockets good space, and so convenient as a back pack so hands are free.

This is my first-ever backpack from TNF. I was researching online and found this cute backpack. I wanted a relatively smaller backpack to take to my Muay Thai classes (which does not require a lot gears nor shoes). This mini size backpack was a perfect fit! It seems mini but it can fit 10L - exactly what I was looking for. Today, I happen to use this backpack more often than I intended to as it's so compact. The only one thing I would complaint is the external water bottle pocket as it's very small - you can only fit a small/narrow bottle in that pocket. It would be so much nicer to have a bigger pocket. I use it for my umbrella. All in all, I'd highly recommend this backpack if you're looking for a compact one.

This is my first-ever backpack from TNF. I was looking for a relatively smaller backpack to take to my Muay Thai classes which doesn't require a lot of gears nor shoes. The size of this backpack was a perfect fit! This backpack may look compact but it can fit 10L with sturdy material - that's was the size reference I looked up when searching for a backpack online. Today, I carry this backpack not only to my workout classes but as a day pack too. The only one thing I would complaint is the external pocket size. It would be even better if the water bottle pocket is bigger - currently it can only fit a very small/narrow bottle. I use this pocket to carry my umbrella though. All in all, I'd highly recommend this backpack for daily use.

This bag is perfect!!!!! I don't like purses very much so I started looking for a small backpack to carry my things in. I came across this bag and decided to give it a try. It fits all of my everyday necessities. Even my 10.9 in iPad fits in it. It's perfect

I use this backpack to hike and go on adventures. It has been a life saver! It's not too small, it's the perfect size. Has lots of pockets too!

I absolutely love it. It's small, matches to almost everything I wear, even with sporty dress it still looks good. Nice compartments inside, beautiful silvery-shiny color. All in one what you need in the summer time.

I purchased this bag to use for a week long vacation to Legoland. I packed it with the tickets, printouts, room key, car key, my mini iPad, small wallet, pack of tissues, napkins, spoons, straws, some legos, wipes and sunscreen. Did I mentioned I have three boys? Yup it was perfect for the trip and it survived!

Perfect size to throw small items in when on vacation. Took it to Tulum and it worked out so much better than a Fanny pack. Had my extra camera lens, water, etc.

I used this backpack on a week long trip in the U.P. in Michigan. We went on several hikes, including hogback which is more challenging, and explorations and this backpack held up perfectly! It was a great size so it was not too heavy or strenuous during the longer hikes, yet a good enough size to hold all I needed. I was able to fit a small first aid kit, bug spray, a multitool, my phone, chapstick, hand sanitizer, a map, survival book, and a small Water bottle. It was perfect!

It looks cute, but it is impossible to carry a water bottle in its outside pocket which is a bummer during hiking or commute. Also I hope there are more pockets inside to keep small items separately.

Perfect bag for all occasions!!!! I use this for work and it holds everything!!!!

I bought for my son, for school but end up returning as it was too small. It was well made but too small but me I need a tiny more space. Of course there are other options. I purchased a different size.

Perfect for outings and every day. Got water bottles, wallet, phone... Everything i need for a day at the amusement park.

I originally purchased this bag for hiking. It fits my water, juice, snacks, sunglasses, and other essentials comfortably. The side pocket on the outside is too small for your water bottle. I currently use it for a travel size bug spray. But I do wish that pocket was a little larger. In summary it does what I need it to do. I've also been doubling it as a travel bag for my toddler who no longer needs a full diaper back pack. It holds her current necessities comfortably and I use the front pocket for my wallet. All in all a good investment and I do recommend.

I love this product. Great for bike riding. Perfect size. Very comfortable.
