Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

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

I bought this to use for work and the size is perfect. Holds my coffee travel mug and lunch container along with work gear and essentials. Holds a lot for a mini backpack and isn't flimsy so it's easy to prop upright to pack. Only downside is that the water bottle pocket on the side should be wider, it doesn't fit any of the regular water bottles. The other side pocket is also hard to open and can't expand therefore making it useless.

Its too small, but good enough for what I wanted it. May end up my child's bag some day.

I bought this to use at Disney world and it's way too small. Bare minimum I like to bring a small rain coat or umbrella, water bottle and a few snacks and this bag will not fit my needs. It's so cute I hope they come out with a "small" because a little larger would be great.

Perfect for my size!

Great size, easy to carry around

Too small

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.

It's small enough for young kids, very cute and comfortable.

If you buy it in Vintage White with the rose gold, it doesn't look anything like the photo, the back of the backpack is white but the front flap is this ugly gray color which doesn't show in the stock photo.

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.

Great!

Perfect for short hikes/bike rides or when you want an athletic/hands-free purse alternative. The straps are lightly padded and wide enough to comfortably distribute the load and the backpack fits me well (5'2" and slim build). Took it on a hike the other day and was able to easily fit my phone, wallet, a snack, a small first aid kit, my keys, and a pair of gloves and my 24oz water bottle was even able to fit standing up in the main pocket with room to spare (as other reviewers have mentioned, the external water bottle pockets are small and probably won't fit most water bottles, though they can be used for other things). Exactly what I was looking for.

Really reliable product

I use it for days that are short in college. I carry my iPad and pens on it.

Loved my backpack!! Great for hikes and as a personal bag instead of a purse. Fits my water bottle and daily necessities. Also fits my 11 inch iPad Pro.

Size is not big but it's exactly what I was looking for. Color is a nice shade of purple.

Love this mini backpack, perfect for dog walks and errands!

Good, small pack for day trips. Tablet pocket and pack need to be about 2-3" larger (height and width) to fit Letter-sized folders/items to be a great pack for small office trips or to transport folders/papers for work. Side pockets are good for 1/2L water bottles.
