Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

Super impressed with this purchase. It's a mini backpack but perfect size for me (being 5"3) without being TOO mini. A lot of mini backpacks are too small to fit anything but this one is wonderful. I can fit a water bottle, wallet, phone, snacks, book and more. I love that the interior has two separate pockets (one mesh with a zipper, one "laptop" type slip pocket) so my stuff stays perfectly organized. It's a nice and light backpack with adjustable straps and pads that make wearing it super comfortable - even for extended periods of time. My other bags are all Patagonia but this purchase has honestly made me want to shop more North Face gear!

The description claims there are 2 external water bottle pockets. There is only 1 pocket that could be called a water bottle pocket and it doesn't hold any of my water bottles. I will be sending this back.

Small enough to meet airline size requirements of carry-on and big enough to carry essentials

This bag is pretty small and it works really well for a active day trip. I also use this bag for overnight stay for my dogs needs. This bag is perfect when I do not feel like "carrying a bag".

I purchased this for my new GoPro and accessories. It's perfect. Lightweight and stylish

Wish it was just a little bit bigger to fit my already tini laptop

I'm a taxi driver perfect size for my needs. Phone charger, sunglasses, gun, etc.

I use this as a day pack when I travel. It is convenient to use as it is small and comfortable. I take it on vacations and lately I have been using it while following my daughter around cheer competitions. Despite it small appearance, it can hold many items and it very easy to carry.

I use it as a carry-on bag on flights and as a small day pack for hikes and kayak trips. It works very well for these uses an holds a surprising amount of stuff.

My daughter loves this book bag for school. Plenty of space for her books and pockets for her smaller stuff.

Great bag for short hikes and walking to work.

Absolutely love this backpack! Great for packing smaller things and has lots of great pockets so things don't get lost!

I bought this for my daughter, she absolutely loves it. Perfect size to travel and do day trips

I use this mini backpack everyday, so appealing.

Great compact size. Works great for what I need. Would recommend to anyone needing a smaller bag that holds your essentials.

Awesome bag and super cute!

My mom, daughter and I use this bag as our everyday "purse" We love it so much we don't use regular purses anymore. It is so convenient for travel and for everyday use. Hands free shopping is the best. It is excellent quality, stylish, comfortable, light weight, many pockets and lots of places to hangs things on the bag like sanitizer, hair ties, cute keychains. I cannot say enough about this mini back pack. I saw someone in Disneyland with one, and had to get one. I bought myself one then my family wanted one so bought them one, then a friend saw ours and wanted one.

This bag allows my nephew to carry his action figures; snacks and cups as well as his tablet.

My 3 yr old nephew absolutely loves this backpack.

No complaints ever
