Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

Love this for carrying around everyday items instead of a purse

For me, this is the *perfect* every day bag. I hesitated for a while because I couldn't really tell the size. So here, have a picture of my mini next to my borealis.

I like the size of the bag but would prefer the straps of the backpack to be a bit longer.

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.

the size is good for what i needed, just something small when biking. don't count on the outer pocket for a water bottle but you could fit a phone, keys, mask, and purell bottle which is what i did. i've only used it a couple times and there is already some noticeable wear so just know it's not totally life proof. it's comfy to wear and the outer stretchy strap was perfect for holding a towel and thin hoodie.

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

Perfect size and I love the color.

Very very happy!! Great, smart design. I have literally taken it from church to trail. It holds my Bible & notebook; and a can of bug sray, pack of trail snacks, etc too. It really is the perfect size. It's not too big and not too small. Also has great padding, really comfortable on my back. One of my best North Face packs!

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

Using this mini backpack as my pack for dayhiking in Glacier. It's quite small but will also be light on my small frame to carry all day and I'm literally unable to overfill it. Love that it's water resistant and has exterior storage and I can clip extra gear on with a carabiner.

This is the perfect size for a daily bag! I can fit a book, a water bottle, my lunch, and extra layers along with my phonekeyswalletmask. The side pocket is a bit small, and not elastic. I can fit my small umbrella it in, but not a water bottle. I especially like the drawstring on the front of the bag, great for a scarf or a light jacket, etc. It's also small and light enough to fit, when empty, into my carry on luggage. I've definitely received several compliments already!

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.

I took this bag to Arches and Canyon Lands and it was perfect. Had plenty of space for my hiking gear and food and was still lightweight. Also used it as an everyday bag and it was stylish and comfortable. If you are thinking of buying it, buy it.

I look this bag to Arches and Canyon Lands, and let me just say it's amazing. It fit my water bottle, snacks, and my other products needed for a light carry doing heavy walking/hiking. I even used it for an everyday bag and it's amazing. If you are thinking of buying it, buy it, it's amazing. You're welcome.
