Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

I prefer a sling style backpack to pack a few things for outings with my kids. I opted for a mini style because I try to keep it minimal and pack on the light side. I chose this backpack over the sling because I wanted drink pockets that would sit upright. I was disappointed in the sizing of the pockets. It can barely fit a 16oz plastic water bottle. I doubt a larger reusable bottle would fit. Definitely wouldn't recommend if you plan to carry water in the pocket. However, the backpack itself should be large enough to carry an iPad or notebook.

Awesome

Great to carry a small labtop or tablet with a note book

I honestly love it. The texture and the size work perfectly fine for me! Love it so far. I use it almost everyday. And it fits everything i need. Its unbelievable how it fits everything for the size it originally is.

Perfect size for my essentials.

Perfect size for a simple travel or easy hiking backpack. Would recommend!

It's smaller than expected. Sides can't even fit a normal sized water bottle and draw string frayed and broke when slide up. Very disappointed in this bag.

So easy on my shoulders

Would buy again

Perfect for the on the go parent

Too small.

Used this as a personal item bag on the plane, took it to a theme park, it's small but it fits so much I love it!

Amazing bag as always!

Just as useful as I imagined, plenty of pockets space, perfect for my iPad mini, iPhone 15 plus, car keys, long wallet and a bunch of miscellaneous stuff!!

Got 2 in of these in 2 colors and they do everything I needed and my son loves his bag especially when he rides his bike!!

This is my 2nd North Faced Borealis Mini BackPack! This is definitely can be used as a EVERYDAY BACKPACK "Purse". It has a lot of space & is very well-made. Worth the price!

super cute, just the right size for my ipad mini and a journal. can't fit a laptop so not for school but small outings. the water bottle holders are too small for water bottles but you can put your bottle inside the bag itself. it has a lot of pockets for organization which i love.

Its smaller size, comfortable fit, and multiple compartments make it a convenient choice for carrying everyday essentials. If you're looking for a reliable and stylish backpack, the Borealis Mini is definitely worth considering.

Great mini backpack for every day!

super cute! i love the concept of a mini borealis. i personally think its just a little too "mini" i wish they had an inbetween size of this and the normal one.

Perfect for someone not wanting larger backpack. This daypack should work perfectly for trip to England this fall.

The backpack it's perfect, great quality and design.
