Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

This backpack is the perfect size for hikes, daily use, and keeping all of your necessities in one place. As a busy guy that bought this for an internship experience, I was able to put my sunglasses, wallet, hat, and keys in this backpack each day and still had plenty of room for an occasional sweatshirt, water bottle, and credentials. I have taken it hiking once already and it was great for holding the same items listed above along with snacks and sunscreen. The only negative that I have noticed is that the straps are not very long so it sits higher up on your back, but I am a larger male that has still made the backpack work and it is still very comfortable. I am thinking about buying another one for my girlfriend since she loves mine, and there are more color options for her that she would love. All in all, this is a great backpack for someone looking to get a smaller bag to hold more of your daily and/or hiking essentials that don't require a big backpack that could weigh you down.

I love this backpack! It's the perfect size, durable and has plenty of pockets. I've been searching for a backpack for months and have finally found the one!

Perfect size and fit! Thank you!

I love this backpack. I was looking for something small for hiking but big enough to carry what I needed. This backpack was perfect!

perfect size for me

Perfect size if you don't need a big backpack, lots of space to store different things

Love this portable backpack, good to pack snacks hats socks anything you need for a quick on to go trip without lugging around a bulky bag love it!

This is a great small backpack to use as an everyday purse to schlep around wallet, keys, eye glasses etc. I love the color and the fact that it is so light weight! It's also washable which is an added benefit!!!

Love this bag. It's cute, but small. Exactly what I needed when don't want to take my regular size backpack out with with me.

Best small backpack. I plan on using it for trips in Florida. Lots of room for everything. I am a petite women and it is the perfect size for me.

Needed a bag for my Chicago trip. I absolutely love this one! It's light weight, and easy to carry. It has two inside compartments: one zippered for wallet and other essentials. I was able to carry IPad when needed. I also put a small jacket inside for boat cruise which was perfect. There's an outside zipper compartment for quick to get items like hand sanitizer, and an outside pocket compartment for an ink pen and phone. This bag is a must have! All I need is more colors!

Love this for carrying around everyday items instead of a purse

Awesome purse! Used during a recent trip to Colorado and continue to use it as my daily purse. It's comfy and holds everything I need it to.

This is a great backpack, small but effective for my uses. Wanted something to carry a couple of water bottles my wallet etc. Great for zipping around town.

This is exactly what I was looking for. It is the perfect size for a bike ride.

Perfect size and I love the color.

Perfect bag. I ride bike daily and having the book bag allows me to commute easy with all my essentials. Comfortable fit. And stylish.

I've been looking for a backpack like this for years! It has just the right amount of pockets and is the perfect size. The only thing is that the water bottle holder on the side is too small.

Quickly has become my everyday bag. Helps me not carry too much unnecessary stuff. Great for work and as a gym bag

Perfect day trip/ field trip purse. I used it when taking my kids to the zoo, museums, hiking, biking, and to amusement parks. Lightweight so it doesn't get heavy or hot, but big enough to fit all the essentials. I love it so much, I got it in a few colors.

Great for everyday use. Fits all purse items well as well has room for a book. Goes well with all outfits be it casual or professional. Love the color ! Understated yet classy.

Mini Backpack hand free miracle. Within mini hideaway for keys, hand wipes and money. It's a life hack.

Comfortable and the size is perfect for a day hike. My 32 oz hydro flask fits perfectly in it.

Perfect size for a day hike. You can fit a large water bottle, snacks and a packable, lightweight jacket. It's so cute and just the right size for my 5' tiny self.

I wanted a backpack that was not going to be too big to hike with in hot weather and this was perfect. I was able to fit my 36 ounce water bottle, few snacks, wallet, and still had some additional space left. Side pocket is too small for a water bottle; it only fits miscellaneous stuff like my chapstick and mini hand sanitizer.
