Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

I am presently hiking some trails in Patagonia, Chile. It is the perfect size for a short hike. I carried my sunglasses, 20 oz water bottle, hand cleaner and my wallet. Still had room for other items.

I have three of the Borealis Sling in three different colors and just purchase another one the black color. I don't like wearing a purse Borealis Sling is GREAT

Love the functionality and all the little pockets! Such a great little sling for a day hike.

Was much smaller than I was thinking. Quality was good and it was a nice bag overall. I have it to my girlfriend and it worked better with her smaller frame.

I have had my Borealis sling for a few weeks now. I absolutely love it. I have never used a sling bag before, so after a couple of days to get used to it, I really like it. It is the perfect small bag in which to to carry a few things. It is comfortable and very accessible. I hate having things in my pockets and prefer to carry a small bag for daily use. The reviews state a water bottle doesn't fit in the holder........false. If you stretch the elastic band a little, a half liter bottle fits easily. It is true is that the zippered pouch on the strap will not fit a modern phone. So I just use it for other small items. The bag is comfortable worn either in front or the back. From the back, it easily slides around to the front for access. I do agree that the strap could be a little short for larger people. I am 5 foot 4, and it fits perfectly. Perhaps Northface could provide a strap extension upon request. I got this bag to replace a Jansport Half Pint, and am glad I did. I much prefer this one. It is a small bag, but don't be afraid to pack it full. I recently had it packed full.....umbrella, water bottle, lunch, phone, and all kinds of things. When I took if off, the strap was so comfortable I didn't notice how much it weighed. Great little bag.

I use it for hikes. Its size is perfect; not bulky. It's lightweight and practical. It fits all necessary items - water bottle, phone, personal items (wallet, glasses, etc.)

This is the perfect size bag for day trips. Enough space for the essentials in a compact bag. Access to all pockets without having to remove the bag is super handy.

I LOVE IT'S COMFORTABLE AND THE SIZE IS PERFECT. I JUST WOULD'OF LIKED FOR THE INSIDE LINING TO HAVE A DARKER COLOR NOT WHITE. GRAY OR BLACK

Excellent pack for day trips. Has the perfect amount of room for the essentials.

I absolutely love this bag. The comfort in the strap and back of the bag is superb! The side is perfect and feels like a backpack which i also love.

Great comfortable pack for light travel days.

Great gift for my wife! She loved it!

I love it! It's a perfect size for when I go skiing in Switzerland in December. Just wanted something outdoorsy and small, but still offers a lot of room.

I love my bag! although I would have loved the larger one. I highly recommend it. It is high quality. I took it on a day trip and it was a great idea.

My Borealis slign is perfectly sized for me--larger than a 3L but not as bulky as 7L, otherwise I would have just stuck to my backpack. It fits all my EDC gear and the sturdy strap gives me an extra sense of security.

It's a very good quality my son love it so much

I use it almost everyday it's perfect to hold smaller items really dependable and worth the buy

Great sling bag .. very well made

This backpack worked perfectly for my trip to Hocking Hills in Ohio. The size was perfect to hold everything I needed.

I bought this bag specifically for a trip to Canada & it was absolutely perfect for everything I did. I hiked many miles and it was just the right size-I could fit my personal items, snacks, ID/credit cards, water bottle and phone! I used this as my purse/bag for every occasion. So many thought out compartments make this a very useful bag without all the bulk!! Allows you to be hands free amd fits comfortably.

Use it as a day to day sling. It's a perfect size. I have not traveled with it yet, as I have the mini back pack which is perfect for travel.

This is now my go to for essentials including EDC.perfect size for the necessary things when out and about and travels well in the air also.

Awesome quality!!! Great purchase.

.Exactly what I needed. The small compartment easily fits an iPad Mini, and the side pocket can hold a 16oz water bottle without issue. The strap pocket has a tight fit for bigger phones A flashlight and pepper spray fit perfectly with extra room to spare. There's also a dedicated sunglasses pouch lined with soft microfiber fabric to prevent scratching.

I've tried a couple other sling bags but returned them due to very limited space inside. But, this one by North Face carries much more. I can even take along my iPad when needed. Perfect for the airplane to tuck under the seat. This was very well thought and and designed.
