Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

Bought for my trip to Vegas and loved how it fit many things. Great quality!

It has well organized compartments, fits more then you think. I do wish the water bottle pocket was bigger (it holds only a slim water bottle) and I wish it was just a little bit bigger.

It's very tiny but practical. You can fit a small water bottle and all essential items.

I'm not really a purse girl, so this is a great option and so much more functional than a Kankin, which is more like a kindergartener's school backpack. This has so many pockets, has comfortable straps and is a modern color. 10/10 TNF

This is a wee tiny backpack. The online pictures are deceiving. But it does work for just walking around town or maybe a nice hike in warm weather. If you like to carry around a lot of stuff for both of these activities then go for something bigger.

It doesn't have much space, but it's very good

Bought on recommendation for taking to Disney. Haven't used it yet but love the color and quality. It has enough space to load all my stuff and it's not to heavy when done. I like the smaller backpack size.

This backpack is the perfect size for a hike, skiing, or just around the town. It is lightweight with a ton of storage. I am ready to ditch my purse!

Love the size, this is exactly what I was looking for. keep in mind guys it's a mini so don't expect too much space. Enough to fit a standard size water bottle, wallet and keys.

While this Borealis Mini is well made, it was too small for me (being a 5'8" man at 190#). It has a a tablet sleeve for an iPad mini (not sure it would fit a full size iPad.) The side pockets might hold a mini umbrella or 12/16-oz throwaway bottle, but certainly not an insulated water bottle.

Great backpack for travelling! I bought this color and size to use as a carryon personal item when flying and it did not disappoint! It gave me so much leg room on the plane I was amazed! It can fit a midsize water bottle in the main compartment, multiple different snacks, and the bungee cord is so helpful for hats or an extra jacket that you don't want to wear anymore when the day gets hotter.

The color is so cute and quality is great

I love this mini backpack. It is the perfect size for every day use and holds the necessities without being bulky. It is lightweight and easy to carry. It is what I have been looking for to use as my daily "purse".

I went to the store twice to pick it up. Never got it

I bought this to use as a personal item on an international flight, and then to continue using as my purse once I arrive at my destination. I haven't gone on the trip yet but I packed it full of everything I wanted to pack, and it held a surprising amount -- passport, wallet, glucometer kit, makeup bag, toiletries, medications, Kindle, essential charging cables I'll need on the flight, and a snack. I thought it would make a good "outing" bag for using in my area as well, and it did indeed work great when I took it to the zoo recently. It held my wallet, glucometer kit, a bag of Quest chips, and two liter bottles of water. It's big enough to hold a lot, but small enough that I didn't feel weird about carrying it when we went to dinner afterward. I would give it five stars but the outer pockets for water bottles are almost totally useless. I can't fit a water bottle in them. I crammed in a travel size sunscreen. Functional water bottle pockets outside would be extremely useful.

I wish it had a sternum strap to make it super secure on my back but otherwise it's a nice little bag for my daily carry replacing a purse

It is very lightweight and stylish. looks exactly as pictured. my go-to backpack for a hiking!

The delivery is quick and great. The backpack looks very well to me and its inside has several compartments, which is what I particularly like.

Bought this for a gift exchange and it was the gift everyone wanted! Useful for many different things, well made, and stylish.

My great niece loved it

Great pack for traveling and hauling small gear. My niece loves it!
