Customer Reviews The North Face Borealis Sling

It's so comfortable and spacious great for trips to keep all your essentials

I recently bought this for a trip to UK and Scandinavia. I was using a backpack style luggage (early Tortuga) and wanted something I could wear easily in front when carrying the backpack and as a sling when not to give my shoulders a break. It worked better than expected. I think they must have extended the straps from previous reviews as I'm 5'10 and 155 and had no problem even with layers and a thick coat. I could fit a lot inside and then use the outside straps to carry a jacket, sweater, or tote bag if needed. I often had two books and an iPad mini, an adapter, power bars, chapstick, wallet, and gum. I was able to fit the small size and height hydro flask in the water bottle holder- though did have to work at it initially and then it was fine. Things that were great: when you have it on your back and then bring it forward the openings to the bag face upwards making it really easy to access everything- on your back they are vertical so harder for someone else to access. Two things I would improve: I wish I could have changed the direction of the strap and I wish the inside zipper pocket opened in the opposite direction. It was hard to access without opening the bag widely. Overall it was perfect and left my hands free when carrying both my backpack luggage and it to manage the various environments and necessities of travel.

The bag is lightweight and suitable for hiking, allowing you to carry two 500ml bottled water or one 1.2l bottled water. The sale price makes it highly recommended for purchase!

Light weight, comfortable, small but can carry lots of stuff lots of pockets

Love that it's easy to travel with and throw important items in the backpack. With the smaller backpack, it never gets heavy but helps you hold essential items.

Love this sling bag! I use it for hiking, as I prefer not to carry a heavy backpack. I can easily fit a large water bottle and my jacket inside. The small pocket on the strap is incredibly convenient for storing a cell phone, making it easily accessible.

Easy to carry and lots of pockets ang stylist

Love it great size

perfect for a daily bag to hold all your essentials with the comfort of a borealis full size backpack.

Great perfect little sling bag for daily commute.

Good material, functional and great price

Perfect bag to carry a few items while taking a hike or running errands.

I am a man who carry's this as my go to everyday sling bag and it has tons of utility pockets with some hidden pockets and it fits all of my stuff and then some and it's still small enough to carry with me everywhere!

I don't leave my house without it! It's very comfy and it's way better than carrying everything in my pockets. Once I saw it in person I knew I had to get it.

Love it and so much easier having a sling instead of a purse.

its not small not so big and colours are amazing

Really love this sling pack. Size is good, love the pocket separation. My large Galaxy 10+ fits just enough in the front strap pocket. I used this for using festivals and the beach and it's perfect.

As a lady who would lug around a heavy purse, this is a game changer. It forces me to bring important items and not extra things I don't need. I can fit a lot of things in the sling and it doesn't feel heavy. It's easy to get your items and feel secure about the zippers and it's comfy! Note: I was concerned about the reviews on the sling not having enough room (I'm plus size and wear an XL &B cup) but it fits me well and can be adjusted I have a lot of room at the max adjustmemt. Hopefully this was helpful!

Good size. Fits a 800ml water bottle plus little umbrella. Still have room for keys, power bank, sunscreen and other daily necessities. Sturdy construction.

Large enough to put a 800ml water bottle, k

Very versatile. Looks great. Lots of comments

I love it every time. Take my stuff to work, it's easy to carry Very simple

I absolutely love this! It holds all my personal belongings and it fits great. It's easy to wear.

I'm not one to leave reviews but this bag deserves it. High quality fabrication. I'm using it daily. For hiking, commuting, chill hangs & recently on a flight. It's exactly what I was looking for. I also enjoy that it's not something I see everyone else wearing. I think it's an excellent Northface product.

Great bag and very durable
