Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Mini Backpack

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!

I use this to replace a purse since purses are not convenient for me to carry. It holds essentials well and is water resistant. The side pockets are not big enough for a water bottle.

I use this daypack to replace a purse since it is not convenient for me to use a purse. It holds my essentials including a small paperback or an ebook. It doesn't have a good pocket for a water bottle. The outside pockets are too small for water bottles. Overall I'm happy with my purchase.

Perfect size for everyone who wants a compact bag. Compartment is sufficient, good for storage of small items. I love the colour. Nothing that I don't like about the bag. It's really hard to find a nice 10l bag so this one is a win for me!

I wanted a small pack to carry my wallet, notebook, pen, and chargers. This mini backpack fits the need perfectly

10/10 recommend!

Love it, perfect size for biking.

Love my mini backpack would buy another different color.

Amazing backpack. I have the bigger version, but needed something small to use everyday and this is the perfect backpack
