Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

Love the backpack. Its the perfect size to fit my lunchbox and a 32oz water bottle which is all i need for work. It has a surprising amount of stretch as well, and the straps are very comfortable. Its also easy to clean and doesnt get dirty very easily.

I love this backpack! It perfectly fits a 32oz waterbottle and my lunchbox which is all i needed it to do. The straps are adjustable and very comfortable, and it has a surprising amount of room too

Great backpack - the perfect size for a 2-3 hour hike!

Love the size. Read a multitude of reviews on YouTube and TikTok. People complain the side pocket is too slim to fit anything but I was able to fit a reg 16 oz plastic water bottle in there. I'm using it for the gym and purchased a magnet hook to attach it to the machines while I work out. It fits my IPad Air 10.9 inch just fine.

Take it to work and it's a great size.

I got this for my trip to Disneyland and it actually fit a lot in it! I fit a full reusable water bottle, a couple pouches, wallet, keys, and snacks in it. I was also worried about it getting dirty after a week but it's still clean! It's my go-to gym bag now!

Very comfortable not big not small PERFECT

I love these little backpacks! I REALLY wanted some shade of brown last year for a neutral, so I was so glad to see the khaki stone color available. I use these in place of a purse, and I can pack even more than I would in a crossbody or shoulder bag, and I can hardly feel it on my back due the the wide, padded straps, and the bag itself weighs next to nothing. They're adorable, and come in so many pretty color choices. They look outdoorsy/adventure-y if that's your style, and they seem durable. I even put a few pins on mine to make it my own. Hands down, my favorite bag I've ever had! I'll use these as long as they make them available!

I have had this Borealis mini in grey for over 7 years. It has been to Universal, Disney World three times, Ireland, Mackinac Island, and now goes twice weekly to my local zoo where I volunteer. I get lots of compliments and people telling me they are excited to see the mini version as they own the full size. Just walked by a North Face store and there is the full size. I guess it's time to post a review.

Perfect for day trips hiking or to take to the pool

Easy to carry.

drippy

I have used this bag every day since I purchased it and I love! I am able to fit my phone, notebook, reading book, IPad, wallet and other essentials inside pockets and main compartment with space left over. I also love that I can clip my 32oz Nalgene to bag and carry my water with me. I would definite commend this bag for everyday use and day hikes.

I'm not one to write reviews but I truly love this little thing. It's not so big that it feels weird to bring it out for casual errands and going around town, but it's roomy enough that you can pack the essentials for a day trip or short travel. The tablet sleeve fits my ipad pro and it even has a little bit of a false bottom to keep it secure. The gardenia white is a really nice off-white that goes with everything (I haven't had it long enough to see how dirty it gets.) Only downside is that the side pockets, especially the smaller one, aren't super useful because they're too small but that's understandable on such a small backpack.

Perfect for everyday.

Perfect for everyday

Small light weight, smaller then expected but fit everything I need

Love it. So light and compact. Just roomy enough for everything and super sturdy.

I bought this to replace an Eagle Creek mini daypack that has been discontinued. The Borealis mini backpack is a good replacement. It does not have quite as many compartments for organizing, but is just the right size for my needs and appears to be well made. I hope this one doesn't get discontinued!

My daughter loves it she use it for days in the theme park

such a great mini backpack. it holds the essentials and provides protection!

Small but perfect for a quick walk or stroll. A change of clothes, phone and wallet fit. Maybe a small bottle of water.

Perfect day bag to carry multiple water bottles, wallet, airpods, and keys.

It's a little small, but to use it as a daily purse it's perfect.

Perfect size for every day use. I take it to work and go out on day hikes with it. Great quality!
