Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

Best sling bag I ever purchased, just wish they had more color ways but other than that this sling is amazing

Great looking bag!

Great size for commuting and traveling

Great quality and very stylish

I'm collecting your new "Limited Run" Borealis Sling Bags. Perfect size for my needs. I do replace the shoulder strap though. I'm 6ft.2in. with a 56in. chest. Replacement strap is 2in. wide and I use many different colors.

Great for biking just right size. You can even carry a small camera

Love the color, I made it my toddlers bag.

Can't wait to use for our next trip

Cute bag. Perfect for sking. Held my gear but didn't weigh me down.

Look good and I use a lot !

My boyfriend loved it !

The size is perfect for everyday tasks

Nice color, functional and good amount of pockets. Works well for errands or a day walk in the park. Fits my binoculars, point and shoot camera and wallet/phone.

Great little bag. Way better than it's big brother backpack.

Love these! Have two in different colors

Nice little bag, well build and useful. FYI, this is built way better than the Borealis backpack.

Wanted a sling bag so my shoulders weren't tired at end of the day when wearing on trails or in amusement parks. This was perfect. This backpack is not quite as big as I expected it to be, I am 6'0" about 170 (see photos). However, this was not a problem for me! I came to enjoy how small it was, I can pack everything I need for a day in it. Wallet, keys (plastic carabiner in interior zip compartment is great and something I like in other outdoor brands), a packable jacket like north face or other brand, portable charger, chapstick, water bottle, etc. Love the color as well! Would recommend it

I LOVE IT!!! just big enough to carry only what I need!

Fits a lot of items inside!

Love how compact it is but at the same time can hold lots of stuff! Has lots of handy pocket sizes. Very comfortable to wear.

This bag is perfect. I love the size and look. I

Great bag

This is a great sling bag for short hikes or walks around town. It can fit a water bottle - I gotta assume reviewers complaining it cannot think that anything smaller than 32 oz is a thimble. A bottle up to 2.5 inches diameter fits OK, which includes 16 and 20 oz plastic water bottles and some resuable equivalents. Anything wider, including smaller Nalgene bottles, is going to be a struggle. Or you can use the bottle pocket to hold an umbrella. Inside the main compartment is a sleeve that just accommodates my 2017 iPad when it's not in a cover. I wish there were a couple of millimeters more clearance but it goes. It fits a iPad mini or a sketchpad easily. There's a separate zip mesh pocket in the main compartment that takes stuff like a wallet, and has a key strap. The smaller outside pocket is fleece lined - I use it to protect clip on sunglasses but it would be good for a phone. Except my iPhone 14 Pro fits into the strap pocket just fine. My old 12 Pro Max also fit although it was a fiddle to zip up. The sling has a carry handle on top that is padded - a luxury touch point for a small bag. And the bungy cords on the outside are good for holding a fleece or raincoat. Both compartments have zippers that are also positioned so that you can slide the sling around you and open it sideways while it's across your chest, so your stuff doesn't cascade out. The only thing I don't like is that the strap doesn't accommodate both shoulders. I wish there were a clip and loop on each corner to let me switch sides from time to time. In an era of accessibility being left-handed shouldn't be a crime. And for big folks the strap might be tight. But I'm 5ft 6" and I don't care about giants.

Great size, tons of pockets and organization slots. Keychain clip, padded shoulder strap with nice, long zippered pouch. A great bag to throw your daily items in for shopping, running errands, a casual dinner out, etc.

Can be used for everything! Can also fit a lot of stuff
