Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

I use this backpack mostly for travel and also for short day trips. Great style and design, and I love all the pockets!

Great item. Good for busy, on the go, people. Smart zipper design & bungee cord in the front to hold a water bottle etc great color choices and feels very durable! Big enough for several items so you don't need multiple bags.

The pink color was kind of sick in real life, like a pinkish taupe. I exchanged it for the cream, because the backpack is adorable. I don't like wearing a crossbody when cycling, so I just stick my handbag, bike toolkit, and water bottle into this backpack and go. Looks cute, works well for my needs.

This backpack fits everything I ever need! I am going to Alaska and cannot wait to try it out there. The color is so stylish it came in so quickly and matches my winter gear perfectly! I highly recommend there as so many great pockets to put accessories!

Love the backpack and it's worth 5 stars, but I am disappointed in the pink, which looked like a nice blush online but in person is a kind of sick flesh color. Will be exchanging it for the vintage white and then it'll be perfect for me.

I use this mini backpack to hold all my daily essentials. It has the space of a roomy purse for normal shopping/walking around but with the hands-free part of a backpack. It's versatile enough to also use on outdoor hikes to climbing walls. It holds my water bottle, climbing harness and I can even strap on my climbing shoes on the front. Straps are padded, adjustable, and comfy.

I will use this black/black borealis mini backpack 10L as a replacement of another backpack to be used as a purse. Love my backpacks, I like the soft cushiony back. I'm the no nonsense grab and go kind of person. I love the shape; I'm a small petite person so it's perfect size for me; the colors are absolutely gorgeous but would really love to get a bright red color mini borealis 10L before the style disappears. Thank you for this stylist backpack. This backpack is my birthday gift to me from me.

Great, functional, well-made mini backpack. Perfect for a short workout or cycling.

I use this bag daily to carry my wallet and other things. Wish side pocket was a bit bigger to carry water bottle or other things. I can fit a 20 oz bottle on the side. Its the perfect size to put a light top or at times my lunch. I have gotten many compliments.

I have it in five colors I like it so much! It's the perfect purse for a busy mom on the go. I love using it and would definitely recommend it to others. My only request would be that they also make it in that pretty pink mauve color the big one comes in.

Bought this as my daily bag and I wasn't a fan at 1st but it's really growing on me. Not too big or small. Perfect for my everyday things.

I bought this so I can have a few of my own things when my husband and I go hiking. Very roomy and comfortable.

GREAT! Backpack and very spacious. I read a lot of reviews where people said it was too small and couldn't fit stuff. YES, the side pocket doesn't fit a yeti or a hydro flask but it does inside the bag and a 40oz bag. I was able to fit my iPad, Bose headphones, charging stuff with cables and a lot more and still had space. I originally had bought it for a Savannah trip where we would be walking a lot and wanted to have something rugged but still cute and my bag pulled through. I had it on all day and as I shopped I put it in my bag and even though throughout the day it started to get heavier the cushion on the back and straps was great! I now use it everyday and don't have to worry about it being on the floor or getting messed up. I would most def recommend and buy it again.

Using it for walks and hikes. Smaller backpack, but exactly what I was looking for.

I used it for a trip to colorado. There's more than enough space for a water bottle, snacks, and supplies. It is way too small for a computer or school use.

I bought this afraid that it would be too tiny. I'm a bigger girl and didn't want to look like I wedged myself into a child's backpack. It's very comfortable and perfectly sized for the days I don't need a full backpack. My only complaint is the water bottle pocket is small and won't fit a lot of bottles. But have nothing else to complain about. Love North Face and this mighty itty bitty pack is no exception.

I got the color pink. The actual pink is a bit lighter than shown in the picture. You could see the dark gray interior lining from the outside. But overall the bag is very cute and functional.

Great for traveling

I received this product as a birthday present, originally. All of my friends started to comment on how much they like it. So I have now purchased it for a friend and it's on my mom's Christmas list. The only thing I wish it had was a bigger outside pocket so it could hold my water bottle.

I love the size of this backpack! I want everyone to have one cause it's small and still has space to put stuff inside.

I love this bag it's the prefect size. I will definitely buy in other colors. I use it everyday and it has great features.Absolutely what I've been looking for. I am very happy with my mini backpack and I will definitely recommend to all my friends and family.

This is a great little bag for everyday carry. It's not huge but can handle all your day gear for commuting to the office or going on a quick hike. Comfortable, stylish and has that North Face quality...

This was perfect for traveling and hiking!

I really like this bag but it needs to be 2 inches longer. Then, it would be perfect.

I bought this as an alternative work bag since I don't carry a lot of things to work. I like the bag, however it is a little bit too small. I thought the main compartment would be a tad bit more spacious. But I make it work and prefer it over a standard sized book bag for work.
